Review of 2012 Annual Reclamation Report
Dear Mr. Bird:
The Division has conducted a review of the Annual Reclamation Report (ARR) submitted for
calendar year 2012 at the King Coal Mine. The ARR has been evaluated with respect to the
requirements set forth in Rule 2.04.13 and commitments made by GCC in Section 2.04.13 of the
permit. We have also compared the 2011 ARR with reports submitted in previous years.
Because the King Coal Mine consists of two geographically separate surface facility areas (King
I and King II), a separate CDRMS ARR form has been routinely submitted for each site. King I
was in operation prior to SMCRA; ARRs for this mine date back to 1991. The King II area was
permitted in 2006, under PR -8. Underground mining operations at King I drew to a close in
2007, and development shifted to King IL
Rule 2.04.13 requires that an ARR be filed by February 15 for the previous calendar year, or
other such date as agreed on. Section 2.04.13 of the permit supersedes this requirement, with a
date of March 1.
The 2012 ARR was received via Email on April 5, 2013. In future years, Tease ensure that
the report is submitted by March 1, as required.
Rule 2.04.13 states that the ARR shall include, but not be limited to, text, discussion and maps.
Maps of the King I and King II disturbed areas accompanied the ARR forms. As with 2011,
maps have been provided. They aid greatly in understanding the acreages reported on the forms.
Brief explanations, as described below, should be provided with future ARRs.
2.04.13(1)(a) The name and address of the permittee (GCC Energy, LLC) and the permit
number (C- 1981 -035);
The forms included the required information.
