• 2.05.3 <br />The Bowie No. 2 Mine will utilize the Bowie No. 1 Mine unit train loadout. <br />The unit train loadout will remain the responsibility of the Bowie No. 1 Mine, <br />and will remain subject to the requirements of DMG permit C-81-038 unless <br />the loadout is transferred to the Bowie No. 2 Mine permit. <br />(3)(a) Following is a discussion of the proposed mine facilities: <br />Portal Conveyor Transfer Buildings <br />The D-Seam portal conveyor transfer building is a structural steel building <br />where the main belt from the mine terminates. The coal from the mine will <br />transfer to the stockpile conveyor. Gob conveyed from the mine will be <br />transferred to the gob belt. The dimensions of the building are approximately <br />20 feet by 24 feet by 45 feet high. The B-Seam will have a similar transfer <br />building. Gob conveyed from the B-Seam will be transferred via a steel <br />chute to a concrete gob bin. Coal conveyed from the B-Seam is transferred <br />to the uphill conveyor. <br />Stacking Tube <br />• The raw coal is stacked by this concrete tube to minimize coal segregation <br />and air particulate emissions. The tube is approximately 85-feet high and <br />12-feet in diameter. It has 4 foot openings to allow coal to flow from the tube <br />to the stockpile area. The stacking tube is located directly on the reclaim <br />tunnel. <br />Reclaim Tunnel <br />The reclaim tunnel is located under the stacking tube and a 70,000 ton <br />stockpile. It is of reinforced concrete construction. The typical inside <br />dimensions of the tunnel are 13 feet high by 12 feet wide. The tunnel is <br />approximately 245 feet long. A 36-inch diameter escape tube is located on <br />the east end of the tunnel. The 120 foot long escape tube terminates at a <br />concrete fan housing that is approximately 6 feet by 6 feet by 8 feet high. <br />MR-60 2.05 - 9 - 07/05 <br />~ PPRovE} <br />$~l9/05 <br />
