A <br />permanent fueling station is planned for an area near the portal as specified on 2.05.3-MIA Mine <br />Facilities Map. One 8,000 gallon and one 12,000 gallon double-walled diesel tank would be temporarily <br />placed adjacent and southeast of the Maintenance Shop. Once construction activities are complete the <br />permanent fueling station would be built and the tanks would be moved to the new location. <br />The use of explosives is expected as part of the portal excavation. SCCC would store ammonium nitrate <br />(as a crystalline solid) for explosives use in an additional tank located adjacent to the Wadge Pond as <br />specified on the revised 2.05.3-MIA Mine Facilities Map. <br />This submittal includes the following: <br />• Transmittal letter • Text revisions • Revised Maps <br />• Application Form • Summary of revisions <br />Installation of the three proposed tanks would result in no ground disturbing activities resulting and zero <br />increase in bond. The use and location of the proposed tanks is temporary with all three being removed <br />once portal construction activities are complete sometime in the fall of 2011. <br />We would appreciate your consideration and cooperation in facilitating timely review and approval of this <br />submittal.
