Review of 2013 Annual Reclamation Report
Dear Mr. Bird:
COLORADO
DIVISION OF

Loretta E. Pineda
Director
The Division has conducted a review of the Annual Reclamation Report (ARR) submitted for
calendar year 2013 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 2013 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 hack to 1991. The King II area was
permitted in 2006, under PR -8, and ARRs have been submitted since 2007. Underground
mining at King I drew to a close in 2007, and active mining operations were shifted to King II.
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 2013 ARR was received via Email on 14-Jan-2014.
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 for 2013.
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.
2.04.13(1)(b) Location and number of acres disturbed during that year;
The King I and .King II forms report no new disturbance for 2013.
