This <br />equipment fleet includes both diesel and electrical machinery. <br />A face -up area will be excavated to expose the Wadge coal seam to allow the four initial <br />development entries to be driven into the coal seam. Surface facilities will be constructed <br />adjacent to the portals and are expected to include. <br />• Mine Entrance and Haul Road <br />• Mine Security Building <br />• Parking Areas for Employees and Visitors <br />• Substation <br />• Material and Equipment Storage Yards <br />• Fuel and Oil Storage Area <br />• Rock Dust Tanks <br />Midterm Review 2.05 -4 Revision 04/2013 <br />
