Reasonably Foreseeable Mine Operations Sample Clauses

Reasonably Foreseeable Mine Operations. Xxxxx proposes to develop a portal site to access the coal reserves in an unmined plug of an outcrop of the coal seam in the southeast portion of the tract. The plug is located at the bottom of an old strip pit that is now a pond. The plug is approximately 400 feet wide and would be entered by three to five large lined entries driven down dip to the main body of the coal reserves behind old highwalls left from previous surface mining activities in the area. Approximately 30 acre-feet of water would be required annually for dust suppression underground, coal washing, and dust suppression at the surface facilities. A portion of the aforementioned old strip pit would be reshaped to the east to supply this water. Disposal of mining and processing waste and other surface facilities would be in and surrounding the un-reclaimed pits both east and west of the portal site on property owned by Xxxxx (Map 2). A total of approximately 78 acres of disturbance would be required for surface facilities. Coal would be mined using continuous miner units. All coal production would be processed through a preparation plant located at the surface facilities owned by Xxxxx. The approximate location of the preparation plant is provided in Map 2. As coal is extracted from the mining face by the continuous miner, it is placed on shuttle cars which then travel back to the belt feeder to be placed onto the conveyor belts for transport out of the mine. When the limit is reached for the continuous miner, it is moved to another area for mining. Roof bolters go into the area previously occupied by the miner to provide ceiling support for the area. Whereas Xxxxx does not propose pillar recovery (retreat mining), it is a standard industry operating procedure in mines in Oklahoma and elsewhere. Subsequently, pillar recovery is considered a viable option for coal extraction from this tract. When retreating, some pillars would be removed on a case-by-case basis according to the mine’s approved ground control plan. Planned subsidence may occur in accordance with approved plans. Mine workings would be ventilated through the mine portals using high horsepower fans. Following mining, some coal reserves would be left intact within the LBA tract. This would be determined by the mine plan, approved ground control plan, and on a case-by-case basis depending on any challenges encountered during the mining process. Possible reasons to leave intact coal reserves include the following: 1) presence of adv...
