This report is a photographic review of the collection and shipment phase of the project during February through April 1981. It covers the locations at Morganfield and Uniontown, Kentucky; Darrow, Louisiana; and Port Elizabeth and Sasolburg, Republic of South Africa. The final detailed program planning and tour of the mine, belt and barge loading facilities occurred on February 11 and 12 (Section 2.0). The coal was ampled and selected from the Camp 1 mine at Morganfield (Section 3.0) and transported on the nine-mile conveyor belt to Uniontown, February 23-25 (Section 4.0). The coal was inspected and loaded at Uniontown on a 15-barge tow, February 23-25, for the 900-mile trip on the Ohio and Mississippi River systems to Darrow (Section 5.0). The barges were inspected and top sampled prior to transloading the bulk carrier M.S. Bonita at Darrow during March 17-20 for shipment to Port Elizabeth (Section 6.0). The ship was offloaded and rail cars sampled April 15-24 at Port Elizabeth before leaving for Sasolburg (Section 7.0). The rail cars were offloaded and partially sampled and trucked to Sasolburg in late April and stockpiled until the gasification test program started in July. After the July and September phases of the coal test, the remaining stockpile was relocated and compacted prior to the November tests to prevent spontaneous ignition. (ERA citation 08:019610)
