0 2 05 3 Operation Plan - Permit Area <br />2 05 3(1) Production Methods and Equipment <br />The Carbon Junction Mine was planned as a steeply dipping seam open pit mining operation, <br />extracting one thick coal seam above a competent sandstone base. Trucks and shovels (including a <br />backhoe) were used to conduct overburden extraction and coal removal. <br />2 05 3(2) Operation Description <br />No further coal mining will occur at the Carbon Junction Mine under this permit. The mine has <br />been reclaimed. Remaining activities will be limited to those necessary to monitor reclamation. <br />2.05.3(3) Mine Facilities <br />No mine facilities will remain after completion of reclamation with the exception of the paved haul <br />road that has been approved for permanent retention. Sediment control structures will be removed <br />after a demonstration of erosion minimization attainment as provided for in the CDRMS liability <br />and bond release criteria or retained for post - mining development of the site (with CDRMS <br />approval) based on plans for the approved post- mining land uses. The following information is <br />retained for historical documentation and perspective and to demonstrate regulatory compliance <br />where applicable. <br />Mine Support Facilities <br />The Disturbance Map 5 -2 shows the former location of all of the anticipated or actual mine <br />facilities and each structure is labeled according to its intended and current use. All facilities have <br />been removed from the mine site or reclaimed. Each facility is designed to be mobile or portable. <br />No permanent facilities were constructed. <br />Prior to construction of the facilities, all topsoil was salvaged and stored (see 2.05.3(5) and Map 5- <br />1). The facilities were located and constructed according to the particular specifications for that <br />structure. There are no specific design criteria for the particular structures other than criteria <br />assigned in designing the sediment control system and the air pollution control measures, both of <br />which are described in this section. <br />Existing Facilities <br />There were no regulated existing structures on -site prior to mining and as a result, there are no <br />compliance plans, or designs which are required by this section. <br />Roads, Conveyors, and Rail Systems <br />One haul road from the pit to the staging area as shown on Map 5 -1 has been constructed. The haul <br />road described below has been designed to comply with the design specification of Rule 4.03.1. <br />The road is approximately 4,000 feet long and the overall grade will be five percent (5 %). <br />Abridged Permit Document 5 -3 Feb 2008 <br />
