Revised 11/15/81 <br /> The hydrologic and geologic information has been assessed in the area in <br /> which CF&I Steel Corporation plans to construct the coal processing <br /> waste bank. Results of this assessment indicate that the location of <br /> the waste bank will not significantly affect the existing environmental <br /> resources at this site. The geologic and hydrologic information has <br /> been developed by Water, Waste and Land Ltd. and is shown in Exhibit 6, <br /> Hydrology and Geology Information. , <br /> No other underground mining operation has occurred in the area which the <br /> coal processing waste bank will occupy. Therefore, subsidence of this <br /> area is not expected to affect the structure. <br /> CF&I Steel Corporation is submitting a plan for the construction of coal <br /> processing waste bank which is required for continued operation during <br /> the permit term. Prior to construction of any additional coal <br /> processing waste bank, CF&I Steel Corporation will submit a plan of <br /> each additional structure prior to their construction. Included in each <br /> plan will be a schedule of each phase of construction. <br /> A design plan has been prepared for the construction of the coal <br /> processing waste bank which CF&I Steel Corporation plans to utilize at <br /> the Maxwell Mine during the term of the permit. This design is shown on <br /> the Coal Processing Waste Bank Design Map (Map 14) . The results of <br /> geotechnical investigation associated with this design are shown in <br /> Exhibit 15, Geotechnical Study - Coal Processing Waste Bank. CF&I Steel <br /> Corporation plans to utilize this coal processing waste bank on a day to <br /> day basis as required to dispose of the out of seam dilution material <br /> from the normal coal mining operation. The operation of the <br /> construction of the coal processing waste dump is three-fold. The first <br /> portion of the operation is to haul the coal processing waste material <br /> from the Bradford Breaker located at the coal processing facilities to <br /> the waste bank. The material is dumped on the waste bank by small end <br /> dump haulage units and spread after placement by crawler tractors. <br /> Particular care is used to ensure that each controlled lift is less than <br /> 2 feet in thickness. The size consist of the material which is placed <br /> 2.05-24 <br />
