Proposed Mining Facilities

Facilities to support mining in the MRP and LBA areas would likely include:

• office
• maintenance shop
• equipment wash bay
• oil storage containment
• fuel storage containment
• truck unloading and coal sizing area
• coal stockpile
• truck loadout
• one sedimentation pond
• one diversion ditch

These facilities would be located within a 30-acre area, with the facilities covering approximately 10 of the 30 acres. Upon completion of mining operations in the area, all structures would be removed and the land revegetated.

A few additional structures would be in place only during operations in the proposed MRP area. These include:

• primary haul roads
• three sedimentation ponds
• diversion ditches for the MRP mining area

These facilities would require about 30 acres. Upon completion of mining operations in the MRP and LBA areas, all mined land and the primary haul roads would be revegetated. Then, upon approval by UDOGM, the sedimentation ponds and diversion ditches would be removed and that land revegetated.
