Revised 11/15/81 <br /> described in Section 2.05.3. Consistent with the reclamation plan of <br /> 2.05.4 of this application, CF&I Steel Corporation plans to remove these <br /> structures upon completion of the mining operation at the Maxwell Mine. <br /> Coal Processing Waste and Non-Coal Processing Waste <br /> The mining operation which is currently being used by the CF&I Steel <br /> Corporation at the Maxwell Mine consists of physically processing the <br /> coal to remove out of seam dilution material prior to shipment to their <br /> Pueblo, Colorado steel-making operations. The removal of this out of <br /> seam dilution material is by use of a Bradford Breaker. Material from <br /> the Bradford Breaker is hauled to a surface disposal site where it is <br /> placed in controlled lifts. The waste disposal area is located on flat <br /> area along the western side of the Ciruela Canyon. CF&I Steel <br /> Corporation plans to continue to utilize this area for disposal of coal <br /> processing waste during the term of the permit. The location of this <br /> waste disposal area is shown on the Mine Plan Map (Map 3). Its location <br /> along a gently sloping side hill in the Canyon has been selected by CF&I <br /> Steel Corporation because of the close proximity to the surface <br /> facilities and to minimize the impacts on surface and ground water <br /> adjacent to the Maxwell Mine. The cross sections of the basal area <br /> which will support the coal processing waste bank are shown in Figure 6, <br /> Coal Processing Waste Design. In addition, the placement of the <br /> material in relation to the material currently existing at the coal <br /> processing waste bank site is also shown in Figure 6. The location of <br /> the coal processing waste bank and the design for construction is shown <br /> on the Coal Processing Waste Bank Design Map (Map 14). <br /> The general plan which CF&I Steel Corporation currently utilizes to <br /> construct the coal processing waste bank consists of placement of the <br /> waste material in controlled and compacted lifts. The slopes of the <br /> waste bank are maintained to a less than 2 horizontal to 1 vertical <br /> slope. The general design of the coal processing waste bank is shown in <br /> Figure 6, Coal Processing Waste Bank Design. <br /> 2.05-22 <br />
