Wade Wymore was available to escort us <br /> at both the King I and King II sites. <br /> Skies were clear, and temperatures were warm. Ground conditions at the mine were <br /> considerably drier than what was observed eight days earlier on the September 23rd inspection. <br /> ROADS—Rule 4.03 <br /> Construction 4.03.1(3) / 4.03.2(3); Drainage 4.03.1(4) / 4.03.2(4); Surfacing and Maintenance <br /> 4.03.1(5) and (6)/4.032(5) and (6); Reclamation 4.03.1(7)/4.03.2(7): <br /> • The road surfaces at King II were dry, and in good condition. <br /> • At King I, it appeared that partial regrading of the haul road to the top of the refuse pile had <br /> recently taken place. The surface of the road was improved somewhat over what was <br /> observed on Sept. 23, but the roadside ditches and drainage had not yet been fully <br /> reestablished. <br /> SUPPORT FACILITIES - Rule 4.04: <br /> • Construction of the new office / bath house at King II is nearing completion. Mr. Wymore <br /> said that the area south of the new building will eventually be used for parking, and that mine <br /> materials and equipment will be moved to the area currently occupied by the temporary <br /> office trailers. <br /> • The Truck Loadout Conveyor ("00" on Map King II-007) delivers coal from the Coal Stack <br /> Tube #2 stockpile to the storage silo at the truck scales. The conveyor was not in operation <br /> at the time of our inspection, so Mr. Wymore opened the gate to the tunnel, allowing us to <br /> walk in. He explained the functions of the belt, the rollers, and the dust collection system. <br /> Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 3 <br /> Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: I Page 2 of 9 <br />
