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