Revised 11/15/81 <br /> Mine Facilities <br /> The mine facilities which are present at the Maxwell Mine are shown on <br /> the Mine Plan Map (Map 3). These facilities were constructed during <br /> 1976 prior to the opening of the Maxwell Mine. A listing of these <br /> facilities, as shown in Table 11, Surface Facilities, reviews the <br /> general type of facility which is present and required to operate the <br /> Maxwell Mine during the permit term. <br /> In general , the buildings are constructed of structural steel and sheet <br /> metal with associated concrete footers and floors. These buildings are <br /> not expected to be modified during the near term of the permit and are <br /> used to house the maintenance, production, and administrative <br /> operations. Maintenance of these structures is primarily by general <br /> procedures common to the coal mining industry. CF&I Steel Corporation <br /> strives to maintain a safe and productive work environment for its <br /> personnel . Through the continued good maintenance and general upkeep of <br /> the facilities, the working environment made available to the personnel <br /> is enhanced. Cleanliness and good housekeeping are part of the normal <br /> routines being utilized to maintain the structures in a good condition. <br /> The coal processing waste banks are constructed based on the design <br /> covered in the coal processing waste portion of this Section to ensure <br /> that failure of these structures is not possible. The slopes and shafts <br /> which are required for the operation of the Maxwell Mine are maintained <br /> through normal safe mining practices. Construction of these facilities <br /> has been through normal state of the art industry standards to ensure <br /> that the structures can be utilized for the life of the operation and <br /> for continued safe, efficient operation. <br /> Because all structures located at the Maxwell Mine are relatively new, <br /> each is in good operating condition. CF&I Steel Corporation plans to <br /> continue to keep these structures in a good, safe operating condition <br /> through normal day to day maintenance of them. <br /> Upon completion and termination of the Maxwell Mining operation, CF&I <br /> Steel Corporation plans to salvage and remove all structures associated <br /> 2.05-8 <br />
