-43- <br /> as discussed in the Surface Water Section of this findings document. No toxic <br /> or hazardous materials will be disposed of at this facility. <br /> The operation is in compliance with the requirements of this section. <br /> XIX. Mine Facilities, Coal Handling Facilities, Support Facilities - <br /> Rules , 4.04 <br /> Information pertaining to surface facilities at the Deserado Mine is presented <br /> in Section IV, Mine Surface Facilities Operation Plan, pages IV-1 to IV-41 of <br /> Volume 4 of the permit application. Map 11 of Volume 5 shows the general <br /> location of each of the major mine facilities. <br /> Major surface facilities which serve as support facilities for the mine <br /> include: electrical distribution system; water supply and waste water <br /> treatment system; mine service buildings for offices, maintenance shops, <br /> locker rooms and showers, and mine portal facilities; roads and parking lots; <br /> administration building; coal hauling and preparation facilities; and coal <br /> transportation and loading facilities. <br /> Permanent electrical power for operating the mine and power plant will be <br /> supplied by an existing 138-KY line located southeast of the D-Portal Area. A <br /> 138-KV transmission line will be constructed from the existing line to the <br /> D-Portal substation. The powerline corridor for the 138-KY line avoids areas <br /> which may be affected by subsidence, although this corridor will require brush <br /> clearing and road construction. Disturbed areas will be reclaimed immediately <br /> following powerline construction. <br /> Water will be pumped from wells located in the White River alluvium through a <br /> pipeline to the water storage tank area. <br /> The water storage tank area will be located above the D-Portal Area and <br /> contain a raw-water storage tank, a potable water storage tank, and a potable <br /> water treatment building. Raw water will be stored in a 1 .6 million gallon <br /> tank (80; in diameter and 42' high). Potable water will be stored in a 50,000 <br /> gallon tank (22' in diameter and 20' high). Areas disturbed by the <br /> constructim—of the water 'storage area will be reclaimed upon completion of <br /> construction. <br /> Two mine service buildings and an administration building located at the <br /> D-Portal Area. A rock dust bin and explosive storage facilities will also be <br /> located at the D-Portal Area. <br /> Conveyors will move the coal from the mine to a central processing storage <br /> area. All conveyors will be covered and maintained as needed. Two raw coal <br /> storage silos (70' diameter and 150' high) have a storage capacity of 10,000 <br /> tons and will be built ofreinforced concrete. A sampling and surge hopper <br /> building (36' x 20' x 90' ) will be used in conjunction with transporting the <br /> coal to the railroad loadout. <br /> A four mile overland conveyor will be used to transport coal from the coal <br /> preparation plant to the railroad storage loadout. This conveyor will also be <br /> covered for its entire length. The overland conveyor will follow the existing <br /> topography. <br />
