MKT L'=_ TEL NO Apr . 23 , 93 i 4 : C5 P . 03 <br /> Re:,lamation \ <br /> Report #1 <br /> bucket. One of the ends cut off the underground storage tank removed from the <br /> Carbondale Industrial yard will be taken to the mine site for use as a containment <br /> structure in our PCB storag: area. <br /> Some of the contaminated transformers in the vicinity of the preparation plant will be <br /> removed from service, placed in containment structures in the storage area in <br /> preparation for being removed next summer. These include transformers on the poles <br /> at the old refuse pile, and s,)me adjacent the warehouse. The boom truck will be used <br /> to remove the transformers, which will probably be transported with the loader. <br /> The capacitors in the preparation plant will also be removed and placed in storage. <br /> The oil switch from underground can be removed from the storage containment <br /> structure to make additional room for other items as the results of wipe tests done last <br /> fall indicate no PCB contamination. <br /> Removal of the transformers from Portals #1, M2 and 43 will be done when road <br /> conditions allow access, shortly before the date designated for shipment. Equipment <br /> required will be <br /> • boom truck; <br /> • #9 (short radius) diesel truck (rental from Pitkin Iron); <br /> • 980 loader with gin poles; <br /> • wire cutters for fence. <br /> The lines and fences will be cut. Transformers designated for disposal will be removed <br /> (intact) from concrete bases and loaded with the boom truck onto the #9 diesel truck for <br /> transport down the mountain. The #9 diesel will take one transformer per load, deliver ' <br /> it to the staging area at the prep. plan, yard. The loader will be used to unload and <br /> place the transformer in the staging area. <br /> John Farnum and Jim Fortune will handle the loading and transport (to the staging <br /> area) of the transformers. John will operate the boom truck and loader; Jim will drive <br /> the #9 truck. Alvin Janicek and Lew Thompson will work on disengaging the <br /> transformers. <br /> This is estimated to take about 5 days. <br /> The project cost will include personnel time, fuel, and rental from Pitkin Iron of the #9 <br /> truck. <br /> Raw Coal Storage Area <br /> As soon as is possible, coal will be graded up in (both) the raw coal storage areas, <br /> pushed against the hillside c:ut, then bermed for containment. The objective is to <br /> prevent it running back into the sediment ponds, and as an initial step for the final <br /> reclamation of this area. <br /> 2 <br />
