several large impoundments that were utilized as evaporation ponds and landfarm areas for <br />refinery- generated waters and waste materials. There are several landfill areas at the site, where <br />coke fines are buried, along with a seven acre closed landfill which contains solidified acid - <br />sludge material. <br />Coal will be hauled to the unit train loadout facility by others in highway legal trucks. Coal will <br />be dumped from the trucks and placed into stockpile by a stacking conveyor and radial stacker <br />conveyor. Coal will be reclaimed from the stockpile and conveyed to the unit train loadout. The <br />unit train loadout will flood load rail cars for rail shipment to customers located elsewhere. Coal <br />throughput at the loadout will increase with time and should not exceed about one million tons <br />per year. No processing of coal (crushing, screening, or washing) is proposed for this facility. <br />Two haul roads are proposed within the permit area, as illustrated on permit Map 15 — Haul Road <br />Plan and Profile. Haul roads will be constructed using a minimum 12 -inch thickness of Pit Run <br />gravel, topped with 6 inches of 1 -1/2 inch road base surfacing. <br />Haul Road #1 is 0.58 miles long, and provides vehicular access and egress to the permit area <br />from County Road 15. This haul road is 25 feet wide, and occupies an easement 30 feet in <br />width. The maximum grade of Haul Road #1 is 0.1 %. Due to the narrow easement width and <br />the flat grade of the road, sediment and erosion control will be accomplished by the installation <br />of excelsior longs along the southern side of the road embankment. Also, rather than having a <br />center crown, the entire surface of Haul Road # 1 will be graded to drain to the south. <br />Haul Road #2 is 0.22 miles long, and forms a one -way loop from which the coal haul trucks <br />access the truck dump. Once the trucks have transferred their loads to the truck dump, they <br />proceed along Haul Road #2 to Haul Road #1 and exit the permit area. Haul Road #2 is 20 feet <br />in width; the grade varies from 0.0% to 2.2 %. Runoff from this haul road flows to Pond #1. <br />One access road is proposed for this site, providing vehicular access to the Loadout Facility, <br />including the coal stockpile, conveyors, material storage area, and ditches. The access road is <br />approximately 0.2 miles long, and has a maximum grade of 0.2 %. <br />Two light use roads are planned for this facility. Light Use Road #1 runs parallel to the rail loop, <br />providing access to silt fences, ditches, and ponds. This road is nearly level, and is <br />approximately 1.4 miles in length. Light Use Road #2 enters the permit area from US Hwy. 6 & <br />50 at 14 Road, and provides construction access to the portion of the permit area west of Reed <br />Wash. <br />Loadout Facilities are illustrated on permit Map 16, and Coal Handling Facilities are detailed on <br />permit Map 17. <br />Coal delivered to the site by truck is placed in a stockpile via a radial stacking conveyor. The <br />anticipated size of the coal stockpile is 40,000 tons. Coal is transferred to the train loading <br />system by way of a 330 -foot reclaim tunnel that runs beneath the stockpile. <br />A rail spur and loop is proposed for the Fruita Loadout, as shown on permit Map 21. The Union <br />Pacific line runs parallel to US Highway 6 & 50, immediately north of the permit area. The <br />17 <br />
