This installation expansion would <br />provide additional space for receipt and sorting of waste materials, and provide for more efficient segregation <br />and handling of mixed solid waste materials coming out of the mine. <br />Expansion of the Portal Waste Transfer Station will involve minor excavation, placement and compaction of fill <br />materials, and forming and pouring of an additional reinforced concrete pad and back/wing walls. As an <br />existing disturbed area, the proposed installation will not result in any new disturbance, and will not require or <br />result in any changes to existing drainage and sediment controls. Operation of the Portal Waste Transfer Station <br />will involve sorting of mixed solid waste materials coming out of the mine, and selective placement of the <br />different types of waste materials in labeled steel roll -off containers. Recycling or waste disposal contractors <br />will periodically pick -up the filled containers for transport off -site for recycling or disposal, and replace them <br />with empty containers. TC has also placed a trash compactor in this area, to reduce the volume of cardboard, <br />paper, and other similar waste materials. The compactor is powered by a drop -line from one of the existing <br />transformers or distribution lines which already exist. <br />This submittal includes revised PAP text and maps /drawings addressing the proposed Portal Waste Transfer <br />Station Expansion. New and revised PAP materials are identified by the enclosed Summary of <br />Revisions /Additions. TC would like to proceed with this project as soon as possible, therefore, we appreciate <br />your consideration and cooperation in facilitating timely review and approval. Once you have had opportunity <br />to review the accompanying information, please feel free to contact me with any questions or to discuss related <br />matters. <br />Best regards, <br />Twen e Coal C <br />Jerry M ettleto <br />Manager E <br />(7 <br />mental Affairs <br />
