Finishing touches to complete the CPP and lab complex are <br />underway and these additions are needed. <br />The sizer slab is 20'x 20'x 12" thick reinforced concrete located under the P-1 belt adjacent to <br />the transfer tower to provide a foundation for the sizer equipment above the belt. The concrete <br />drain is about 100' long, 3' wide, and 6" thick reinforced concrete and will direct drainage from <br />the CPP pad and concrete slabs constructed south of the CPP building (per MR-374) to the <br />west around the base of the P-3 beltline berm and to ditch D5E-13. The concrete sample coal <br />bin is a three-sided concrete bin on a 10' x 10' x 8" thick reinforced concrete slab with each <br />wall being 4' high, 10' long and 8" thick. Coal samples not used by the lab for analysis will be <br />stored in the bin until hauled back to the coal stockpile or refuse pile, as applicable. <br />MCC would like to begin this construction this week, so your prompt review and approval of <br />this revision application would be greatly appreciated. Please contact me at (970) 929-2238 or <br />by e-mail should you have questions regarding this submittal. <br />Sincerely, <br />Kathleen G.
