• No travel of unauthorized vehicles will be allowed on anything other <br />than established roads. Employee and mine vehicles and other haulage <br />equipment will be restricted only to the haul and access roads. <br />Coal Loadout Facilities, The coal from the Bear No. 3 Portals will be <br />transported from the mine via a conveyor. The coal will be fed onto <br />another conveyor belt and discharge through a stacking tube into a coal <br />stockpile. The coal from the stockpile will be reclaimed and placed on <br />another conveyor where it will be transported to a truck Loadout bin. <br />The coal Loadout diagram for the Bear No. 3 Mine is shown on the Mine <br />Facilities Map (Map 10). <br />The coal Loadout operations at the Bear No. 3 facilities will be <br />equipped with a water spraying system. Coal transfer points on the <br />conveyors will likewise be equipped with water sprays. The truck <br />Loadout hopper will be enclosures designed to prevent excessive dust. <br />The stacking tube will be used to minimize dust emission at the coal <br />• stockpile. All conveyors will be partially enclosed. <br />Coal dust from the existing coal crushing and Loadout facilities in the <br />North Fork of the Gunnison River has not been a problem because of <br />infrequency of strong winds in the vicinity of the Bear Coal Company's <br />operations. If coal dust becomes a problem at the planned storage <br />piles, the water truck from the mine with high pressure pump and nozzle <br />will be available for suppression. No thermal dryers are to be used at <br />the facilities. <br />Disturbance. Because the Bear Coal Company is planning to mine coal <br />from an underground operation, the area of land affected for surface <br />operations and facilities within the permit area will be minimal. <br />Topsoil will be removed only to the extent necessary to accommodate the <br />planned surface facility relocation. Likewise the topsoil will not be <br />rehandled once it is initially removed. <br /> <br />Revised May, 1987 <br />2.05-48 <br />
