Re: Minor Revision - Plant Refuse Conveyor t:4IN-tD LAND RECLAMATION DIVISIM
Coin DeYL. of Natural Resources
Dear Mr. Herron:
The purpose of this letter is to request that construction of a new
replacement refuse conveyor from our preparation plant be approved as a
minor amendment to our existing plan. Plan for the new conveyor (in red) is
attached.
Our existing coal refuse pile is rapidly approaching capacity. We have,
for the last several years, been attempting to develop plans for a new refuse
pile site and have studied several alternatives as well as various systems
for transporting coal refuse from the plant to the sites. The preferred site
became available to us only recently following our purchase of the Sutey
property adjacent to the plant site. Application for a refuse disposal site
on the Sutey property has been submitted to MLR. Installation of the plant
refuse conveyor is not contingent on approval of the Sutey site, nor will
plant refuse be disposed of on the Sutey site without prior approval of MLR.
Site information (see attached plan) :
1. Conveyor will extend westerly from the preparation plant a distance
of 500 feet.
2. Conveyor and termination (transfer tower) are on or over disturbed
ground and totally within our present permitted area.
3. Our plant emergency slurry pond is located directly down-grade from
the belt termination point and will collect surface waters from
the belt termination area.
4. Our fresh-water pond is located adjacent to the slurry pond in a
northeasterly direction from the belt termination point. Because
of its location, this pond provides additional protection against
possible bypass of contaminated water from the termination point
area.
