RULE 4 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS <br />4.04 Support Facilities <br />The support facilities used at the mining operation, including the office, shop and warehouse complex, the <br />coal handling and loadout facilities, are shown on the Existing Structures.- North Map (Map 21) and the <br />Existing Structures - South Map (Map 22). Many of the support structures were constructed at the mine <br />start-up in 1976-1977. The complete discussion on all the support facilities is found under Section 2.05.3. <br />Detailed drainage and sediment control has been developed for the mining operation as discussed in <br />Section 2.05.3. All sediment control measures have been designed to prevent damage to wildlife and other <br />related environmental values; also, sediment control structures have been designed to prevent <br />contributions of suspended solids to runoff outside the permit area in excess of the limitations of both <br />federal and state law. <br />As discussed throughout this submittal, Colowyo will conduct the surface mining activities in a manner <br />which will minimize impacts on the environment. <br />There are no operating oil or gas wells at or around the planned mine; likewise, there is no coal slurry <br />pipeline planned or around the mining area. The only operating railroad in the vicinity of the mine is the <br />Colowyo spur line that serves the operation. All White River Electric power lines are located out of the <br />actual mining area. Colorado-Ute Electric Association has a power line in the path of future mining. <br />Portions of this line will be relocated as required. The Mountain Bell telephone lines are located at a <br />distance from the actual mining areas. All water and sewer lines located in the permit area serve the <br />Colowyo structures and are located away from the actual mining areas. <br />Rule 4 Performance Standards 4.04-1 Revision Date: 6/23/08 <br />Revision No.: MR-91
