accessed from the road surface. Other roads onsite will be relocated to facilitate <br />access to the lysimeter and construction of the sediment pond. The roads that provide <br />access to the Upper Mine Area will not be changed. <br />The mine portal and facilities will not be expanded for the amendment. The only <br />expansion will be that of the waste area. <br />h. Utilities <br />Electrical Power <br />The local power company will supply electricity to the site using the existing power <br />poles and lines. No additional power infrastructure is anticipated as being necessary <br />for the life of the mine. <br />Power for the site comes from an overhead line as shown on Figure C2. The power is <br />sent to the panel box near the new Small Pond, where it is buried at a power drop near <br />the primary ventilation shaft and hoist. Power enters the mine from a shielded cable <br />in the power drop borehole. Portable generators may be used at certain times when <br />line power is inaccessible. For secondary containment and security purposes, these <br />generators will be located within their respective trailers. Fuel tanks will be located <br />at the base of the generator, or as separate tanks contained within larger livestock <br />tanks being utilized for spill containment purposes. <br />Water /Sewer /Trash <br />Water for bathrooms, showers, and other general purpose uses will be provided to the <br />site by a contractor. An above ground water supply tank is installed near the office to <br />store this water. Cotter will supply bottled water for drinking purposes. A septic <br />system is in -place in accordance with state and local regulations. <br />The main building includes the maintenance shop, warehouse, mine offices, and dry <br />change facilities. It will be heated using propane. The propane tank is located near <br />the building. The water treatment building will be equipped with an electrical heater <br />for use during the colder months. <br />A permanent shower facility and office are currently onsite in the same building as <br />the shop and warehouse. This building is seen on Figure C2. It is a roughly 2900 sq. <br />ft. pre- fabricated building on a 6 inch concrete foundation slab. <br />Figure C2 shows all of the utilities presently onsite. <br />Any trash receptacles used to contain lunch room wastes will be stored inside the <br />shop to prevent access by wildlife. The trash will be picked up on a routine basis by a <br />service company and disposed of at an approved landfill. No landfills will be <br />constructed onsite. Scrap metal will be stored in a designated scrap area immediately <br />west of the portal. Used batteries and tires will be stored in the same area, and will be <br />picked up and recycled by vendors. <br />D -10 <br />
