COLORADO <br />Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />16 July 2014 <br />Tom Bird, Manager of Coal Services <br />GCC Energy, LLC <br />6473 County Road 120 <br />Hesperus, CO 81326 <br />Re: King Coal Mine (Permit No. C- 1981 -035) <br />Review of Subsidence Monitoring Reports for: <br />3rd Qtr 2011 thru 2nd Qtr 2014 <br />Dear Mr. Bird: <br />The Division has received and reviewed GCC Energy, LLC's (GCC's) Subsidence Monitoring <br />Reports for the King Coal Mine. The reports included all the information required by Rule <br />2.05.6(6) and the approved permit application package. Please refer to the attached Checklist for <br />details of our review. <br />The Division does have one comment at this time. As highlighted on the attached form, the <br />versions of Maps King I -005 (Mine Plan) and King I -013 (Subsidence Monuments) currently <br />approved in the permit do not illustrate the various features (irrigation ditches, residences, etc.) <br />that are described in Section 2.05.6 of the permit text. A check of archived versions of the Mine <br />Plan Map revealed that these structures did appear on older versions of the map, so perhaps that <br />layer has been inadvertently turned "off'. Please submit an application for a Minor Revision to <br />restore this information to the two maps no later than August 15, 2014. <br />In addition to showing the subsidence features, it would be appropriate at this time to update <br />Map King I -005 (the current version is 06/18/08) to illustrate the final limits of the underground <br />workings at King I, and to give an accurate representation (with acreage) of the ultimate Affected <br />Area. <br />If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Marcia L. Talvitie, P.E. <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Enclosure — (1) <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http: / /mining.state.co.us <br />John W.
