:] <br />2-34 <br />2.2.3 Storage and Stockpile Sites <br />The operation will have minor storage systems for fuel (diesel), and a warehouse trailer <br />for non-flammable and non-explosive products. Miscellaneous grease and oils will be stored <br />adjacent to the warehouse building with bulk oils and fuels stored away from the building as <br />shown on Figures 2.2-2 and 2.2-6. There are two designated Material Storage Areas that will <br />store roof bolts, roof pans, timbers, caps, wedges, hoses, pipe, pipe supplies, electrical <br />equipment, electrical cable, electrical supplies, conveyor belt, conveyor components, motors, <br />gear boxes, mine equipment, mine equipment components, motors, gear boxes, surface <br />equipment surface equipment components and rock dust. Material storage areas are shown on <br />Figure 2.2-2. <br />Coal extracted underground will be conveyed to a crushing and screening plant located <br />immediately out by the belt entry. The sized coal will then be conveyed to a coal stockpile by a <br />120-foot long radial stacking belt. Coal from the stockpile will be loaded into on-highway trucks <br />by front end loader(s). Alternatively, the coal may bypass the screen and crusher and be placed, <br />unsized, in the coal stockpile. The coal stockpile will be isolated from all surface water run-off as <br />described in Section 2.4.1 and maintained at a minimum volume. The coal stockpile will be <br />limited in capacity to 20,000 tons. <br />Topsoil will be stockpiled as shown on Figure 2.2-2 and described in Section 2.3.4. The <br />maximum capacity of the topsoil stockpile is approximately 11,500 cubic yards. A soil stockpile <br />is located east of the topsoil stockpile as shown on Figure 2.2-2. This stockpile will be known as <br />the construction material stockpile. The construction material stockpile consists of material <br />salvaged from the founding of the coal mine waste pile and material excavated from the pond. <br />The maximum capacity of the construction material stockpile is approximately 12,000 cubic <br />yards. <br />The primary use of the construction material stockpile will be for non-toxic cover for'the <br />coal mine waste pile. Approximately 8750 CY of construction material will provide a 3.5 foot <br />thick layer. Approximately 1250 CY of topsoil will provide the additional 0.5 feet to bring the total <br />cover to four feet. Approximately 3200 CY of construction material will be used to backfill the <br />sediment pond. If material is leftover, and additional topsoil is required, the construction material <br />stockpile could be analyzed for pH, electrical conductivity (EC), texture and sodium adsorption <br />ratio (SAR). Limits for subsoil (within 24" of surface) are SAR of 25 and an EC of 15. Limits for <br />topsoil are SAR of 12 and an EC of 8. The analyses will be provided to the Division and Division <br />approval will be obtained prior to use of the material as final reclamation plant growth medium. <br />The construction material stockpile will not be used for topdressing unless analyses and <br />evaluation demonstrate that it is the best plant growth material reasonably available within the <br />disturbance areas. <br />TR-16 M`-Volume 1 (Rev 07/08) <br />
