Rule 2: Permits. <br />• <br />'~-• <br />J <br />Loadout Facility <br />If the market allows, coal will be shipped directly to customers without the need for washing during the permit <br />term. A 7-acro stockpiling, blending, and railcar loading area is planned on the south side of the main Kern <br />Valley Railroad line, immediately east of the access road iu Lorencito Canyon (Figure 2,115.3-1). Coal will be <br />trucked to the area where it will be crushed and stored in open stockpiles for loading on rail cars wish front-end <br />loaders. Shipment will range from small, multi-car to writ trains. Facilities at the site may include a portable <br />office/lunch room and a diesel storage lank. The facility will be constructed by tilling the area immediately <br />south of the railroad and east of the access road with up to 5,000 cy of clean fill m create a Icvel pad. Vegetation <br />and topsoil will be removed and topsoil stockpiled as required. Should utarkets dictate the need for washed coal, <br />coal will be transported by rail to the picketwire processing Plant (or processing and unit Irwin loading. <br />Signs and Markers <br />Amine permit identification sign will be posted at the Highway 12 enhance to the LCC mine. <br />The sign will show [he name, address, and telephone number of the person responsible for conducting surfacc <br />and underground mining, and the identification of the current permit authorizing the operations. Additionally, a <br />sign will be posted at the Highway 12 entrance which stales "Warning! Bxplosives in Use", an explanation of <br />the blast warning and all clear signals, and an explanation of the mm~kings oC blast areas and charged holes <br />within [he permit area.~The permit perimeter will be marked with brightly painted posts. The posts will be <br />placed at irregular intervals such Ihat one post can be seen from the next one. Stream buffer zones will be <br />delineated 100 feet on either side of a perennial sheatn using rectangular signs labeled "Siremn Buffer Zone" at <br />an interval which can be seen from one sign to another. <br />(4) Ponds, Impoundments and Diversions <br />The general surface water and sediment control plan consists of the diversion of clean water around yr throneh <br />the site, and collection ditches which route runoff from distw~bed areas into sediment control ponds. All surlacc <br />drainage from disturbed areas will be passed through either a sediment control structure, or controls put in place <br />to prevent the effluent from the site from exceeding applicable Stale and Fedet'al water quality requirements for <br />downstream receiving waters. The surface water control plan is prepared under the direction of, and certified by <br />a qualified registered professional engineer. <br />All ditches have been designed according to Sections .4.03.1(4), 4.03.2(4), 4.05.3 and 4.09.2(7). Drainage <br />ditches have been designed to pass the 10-year 24-hour storm event with 0.3' oC freeboard. Temporary ditches <br />will be constructed to pass a minimum of the 2-year 24-how' slmnt. Side collection ditches from the fills on the <br />surface mine will be designed to pass the 100- year 24-hour stvnn. Dmioage structures at the portals, along the <br />roads and associated with the fills are shown on Map 2,115.3-2. General ditch truss-sections are provided in <br />Figure 2.05.3-16. Support design documenmtion are provided in F.xhibil I5. <br />Ditches will be variously armored with rip-rap or equivalent protection against erosive velocities. Rip-rap <br />installations will utilize woven or non-woven geotextiles on a coarse sand base at Icast three inches in thickness <br />for a filter blanket. The geotextiles will have an f:OS of 70 or Icss. <br />MR-10 <br />2.05-30 <br />(Revised 2/R/OS) <br />
