Dump Hopper Facility: A truck dump with a 75-ton capacity conical steel hopper was <br />originally installed as part of the loadout operations for haul trucks to dump run-of-mine <br />coal into the coal handling facility. With the train unloading and truck hauling system, <br />the hopper dump will be used as part of the coal handling system to transfer coal from the <br />coal stockpile to the truck loadout. A welded grizzly with 12-inch openings is located <br />above the hopper. Am existing 36-inch wide reclaim belt conveyor receives coal from the <br />dump hopper and feeds an existing 36-inch wide belt conveyor. The 36-inch belt conveyor <br />discharges coal to a coal chute located in the existing crusher building. <br />Crusher Building: The existing crusher building will be refurbished. The existing single- <br />roll crusher will be removed-and a conical steel coal chute installed. The coal chute will <br />feed an existing 60-inch wide reclaim belt conveyor (refurbished and relocated from the <br />existing storage reclaim tunnel) that will elevate the coal to the top of the truck loading <br />facility. <br />Truck Loadout Building: When the Hayden Gulch Loadout facility was used to load .unit trains <br />for market coal delivery, the loadout building was located over the railroad track. The <br />building will be refurbished and relocated under the railcar unloading/truck haulage <br />operations plan. The loadout building will be located near the existing steel stack tube. <br />The steel stack tube and associated concrete reclaim tunnel will be demolished. <br />Coal transported to the top of the loading facility is discharged into a 75-ton surge bin. <br />The bin is necessary to provide continuous loading and permit cutoff of coal flow between <br />tandem trailers. Continuous coal sampling is provided by an ASTM sampling system as coal is <br />discharged from the 60-inch wide elevating belt conveyor. A four-foot-square, air operated <br />guillotine gate was installed horizontally at the surge bin discharge opening. A <br />telescoping loading chute was provided for uniform loading of trailers and installed <br />independently and below the guillotine gate. <br />Haul Road HGLF-HR2 will be constructed to allow haulage trucks a route through the loading <br />area. <br />Operation: Operation of all coal handling equipment is controlled from an operations cab <br />located at the loadout building. <br />Ancillary Facilities <br /> A 24-foot by 62-foot mobile trailer was installed circa 1979 to house office and change <br /> house facilities. The trailer is insulated, electrically heated, lighted and vent ilated. <br /> Non-potable water for the office complex was historically furnished from the Shallow Well <br /> a well located two miles north of <br />No. 1 the trailer (immediately southeast of the <br /> , <br />intersection of Highway 40 and Routt County Road 37). A hydropneumatic system with a <br /> storage tank provided an adequate water supply at the required pressure. <br /> MR-16 1 9 Revised 11/07 <br />
