contained in Figure 6 -2. Refuse separated from the raw coal mined will be placed in the refuse <br />disposal areas described in Section 2.05.3(8), Tab 13. See Section VI, below. <br />Non -coal wastes, including flammable liquids, paints, garbage, and lumber are collected by a refuse <br />removal service and disposed of in a local landfill according to applicable regulations governing such <br />waste disposal. Petroleum products such as grease, lubricants and machine oil are collected by a <br />licensed pickup service for refinery recycling. See Tab 9, page 14 -28 and 14 -29 of the permit <br />application document. Non -coal waste materials have largely been removed from mine facility areas in <br />association with reclamation projects during 2001 and 2002. <br />VI. Coal Mine Waste and Non -Coal Processing Waste <br />Information on coal processing waste and coal processing waste embankments can be found in Section <br />2.05.3(8), Tab13, of Volume 3 of the application. <br />Three permitted refuse piles, CRDA -1, CRDA -2, and RSRDA, have been constructed to the <br />specifications outlined in Tab 13 text, and in Appendices 13 -4, 13,5 and 13 -6 of the permit. See <br />Exhibits 4, 5, 9A, 9B, 18, 51, 52, 53 and 55, for further information. Reclamation of the refuse <br />disposal areas is addressed in various sections of Tab 14, Volume 5, of the permit application, and <br />reclamation specifications are depicted on Exhibits 6C, 9C, 26, and 18. <br />During mine operations, raw coal was processed at the preparation plant that was located within the <br />Roadside South facilities area, and clean coal was conveyed to a unit train loadout facility on the <br />opposite side of the river, approximately a mile to the north. The reject material was transported by <br />truck to the disposal sites in Coal Canyon (or the RSRDA pile prior to 1981). CRDA -2 has been fully <br />reclaimed, and CRDA -1 has been reclaimed with the exception of a segment of temporary road up the <br />side of the pile that has been left open to allow for disposal of coaly material during the course of <br />reclamation operations. The slopes of the RSRDA have been fully reclaimed and revegetated. The <br />flat top of the pile was approved as an equipment storage area during operations, and has not been <br />revegetated. <br />Refuse disposal within the Roadside Refuse Disposal Area (RSRDA) was completed in the early <br />1980's, and the slopes of the pile were temporarily stabilized. The flat top of the RSRDA is a <br />permitted supply storage area. Final reclamation of the slopes of the RSRDA, including installation of <br />approved terrace drains, was completed in the fall of 2002. A stability analysis for the RSRDA is <br />provided in Appendix 13 -4. Final grading is discussed in Tab 14. The reclamation plan for the top of <br />the RSRDA was modified by approval of PR -3, as the flat top of the waste pile is included within the <br />designated alternative land use area (see Exhibits 6C and 6C -A). The top of the pile has been gravel <br />surfaced, and under the "Industrial or Commercial" land use reclamation plan approved by PR -3, the <br />area will be left "as is" for use as a storage site for equipment and supplies associated with the <br />commercial fruit operation. The area will not be topsoiled or revegetated. The 1s Quarter 2007 refuse <br />pile certification report documents that the required 18 inch minimum thickness of non -toxic cover <br />material was placed over the coal waste material on the flat top of the pile. A short segment of <br />existing Access Road 1 will be left in place for the postmining use. It will connect to the upper end of <br />proposed Access Road 1A, to provide access to the storage area on top of the RSRDA. <br />The lower three benches of CRDA -1 and CRDA -2 were covered with the approved thickness of non- <br />toxic cover, seeded, and mulched in the late summer /fall of 1994.
