<br />shortly after construction. The drainage course discharges out along the <br />Goat Trail where the runoff is conveyed to the tipple ponds via the Goat <br />Trail drainage system. <br />Reclamation of the conveyor corridor will consist of removal of the <br />conveyor belt structures, removal of accumulated coal fines, reshaping the <br />top of the fill area along the A-conveyor, placing water bars along the <br />length of the conveyor corridor to reduce runoff velocities, and re- <br />establishing the vegetation with the approved seed mixture. <br />It is recognized that the drainage courses used to direct flow along <br />the A-conveyor portion of the corridor were primarily formed prior to the <br />passage of SMCRA, and are considered pre-existing conditions. P&M further <br />acknowledges that some deterioration may have occurred since the passage of <br />SMCRA through the continued use of these drainage courses. As such, <br />during reclamation of the A-conveyor segment of the conveyor system the <br />fill slope will be regraded and water-barred to minimize the amount of <br />runoff which may migrate toward the drainages. Rehabilitation of the <br />• drainage courses, if necessary, will be formulated with due regard to (1) <br />the pre-SMCRA existence of the drainages, (2) the risk of damage to <br />undisturbed land in performing rehabilitation, and (3) the limitations of <br />the ability of safely operating equipment on the slope. <br />3.6.E AIR POLLIITION CONTROL PLAN <br />Three areas exist at the Edna Mine which require measures to control <br />dust. These areas are the coal-handling facility, the haulroads and the <br />overburden drilling area. <br />Coal dust is controlled in the coal-handling facilities at all points <br />of transfer, crushing, feeding and loading. Each transfer point, crusher <br />and feeder is equipped with water sprays to reduce dust, and all facilities <br />and beltlines are enclosed. The loadout is equipped with a telescoping <br />loading chute to reduce dust. The coal-handling facility dust control <br />methods have been examined and approved by the Colorado Department of <br />Health, Air Quality Control Division. <br />The haulroads at the Edna Mine are another potential dust source. <br />.
