~. 2-27 <br />Coal waste may be generated from the operation in the form of coal fines, roof <br />falls and other material (high-ash coaly material) scraped up from the coal yard area. <br />This material will be blended and shipped with the product when possible. Coal waste <br />that cannot be shipped will be placed on the top of the coal mine waste area and <br />allowed to adequately dry before being mixed with pre-placed coal waste, re-placed and <br />compacted in the coal mine waste pile. Coaly material excavated from ditches, <br />sediment traps and the sediment pond are also placed on top of the coal mine waste <br />area and allowed to adequately dry before it is mixed with the pre-placed coal waste, <br />re-placed and compacted. The Operator no longer has approval from the Mine Safety <br />and Health Administration (MSHA) to dispose of coal mine waste material in areas of <br />the mine that are no longer actively producing coal. <br />A dispute with a local landowner regarding access to Munger Canyon resulted in <br />reclamation of the Munger Canyon coal mine waste disposal area. The Operator does <br />not generate significant quantities of coal mine waste. The mine operated continuously <br />from February 2000 until November 2004 before it hauled coat mine waste to the <br />Munger Canyon coal mine waste disposal area. However, the Operator does need a <br />place to store coal mine waste. Therefore, at the time of this writing, the Operator has <br />submitted a technical revision application to construct a coal mine waste disposal area <br />within the McClane Canyon Mine permit. <br />All non-coal waste generated is disposed of by a commercial waste disposal <br />company. The non-coal waste is typically stored in 'a dumpster which is periodically <br />hauled to a disposal facility by the waste disposal company. During periods when the <br />mine is idle, the limited amount of non-coal waste generated is sometimes collected <br />and hauled to a waste disposal facility by the Operator. <br />TR-16 ~ M`-Volume 1 (Rev 05/08) <br />
