Chapter IV <br /> 1 . Fugitive Dust Control Plan. <br /> The fugitive dust control measures for the Coal Basin surface facilities have been <br /> adopted using the best technology currently available.* The adopted mitigation <br /> techniques apply in general to areas of surface disturbance where operations produce <br /> fugitive dust, and in particular to the road segment from the central complex area to the <br /> Adit/Rock Tunnel area, to roads when used for coal haulage, to coal and tunnel rock <br /> handling operations and to the thermal dryer. <br /> * Note Appendix IV-A-1, Colorado Department of Health letter on grandfathering of the <br /> Coal Basin operations. <br /> Measures used to control fugitive dust are: <br /> — Water, as necessary, utilizing water sprinklers and water <br /> trucks. <br /> — Chemical fixative used, as necessary. <br /> — Clean-up of coal, rock and dust-forming debris from <br /> roads. <br /> — Road surfaces gravelled. <br /> — Conveyor belts flipped. <br /> — Conveyor belt lines covered as approved by MSHA. <br /> — Planting and revegetation to control wind erosion. <br /> — Covered storage bins used as much as possible. <br /> — Open coal stockpiles watered, as necessary. <br /> — Coal refuse placed on disposal site while still damp from <br /> "washing" process. <br /> — Coal and rock refuse compacted to design <br /> specifications. <br /> — Coal transported from mine to load-out in enclosed <br /> containers. <br /> The Coal Basin thermal dryers are operated as approved and as permitted by the State <br /> Department of Health, Air Control Division (See Section G, Chapter I for permit <br /> identification). Also, see Appendix IV-A-2, Thermal Dryer Emission Permit. <br /> 2 <br />
