EXISTING STRUCTURES <br />There were no existing structures prior to construction at the King II <br />Mine as defined by Rule 2.05.3(3)(b). <br />ROADS <br />One combination haul /access road will be designed and constructed to <br />access the mine facilities and coal load -out. The road will originate at La <br />Plata County Road 120 and proceed north to a location south of the mine <br />bench where the road will split forming a one -way loop through the mine <br />facilities. Specific designs and the engineer's certification for this road <br />will be included in Appendix 10 and Maps King II -007 D thru G. <br />An access road to the water tanks is planned. This road will originate at <br />the office building and end at the water tanks. Specific designs and the <br />engineer's certification for this road will be included in Appendix 10. <br />An access road to the conveyor /return portal area is planned. This road <br />will originate at the office building and end at the conveyor /return air <br />portal area. Specific designs and the engineer's certification for this road <br />will be included in Appendix 10. <br />CONVEYOR <br />The conveyor system to be constructed at the King II Mine is depicted on <br />Map King II -007 and described in Section 2.05.4 (Removal of Surface <br />Facilities) . <br />SURFACE DRAINAGE AND RECLAMATION <br />Reclamation of the permit area is covered in Section 2.05.4. The entire <br />disturbed area will be required for coal operations - all space is utilized. <br />Plans for abandonment of the mine are discussed in Section 2.05.4. <br />Surface drainage patterns through the permit area and the up -slope <br />areas are shown on Maps King II -007 A thru G . Details of the diversion <br />channels and piping systems are discussed in Section 2.05.6 and <br />Appendix 11. <br />Maps King II -007 A thru G show the runoff flows in the mine plan area <br />and the permit area. Sediment pond design, drainage plans and <br />designed hydraulic structures located within the project area will be <br />certified by a professional engineer. This certification is to be included in <br />Appendix 10 & 11. <br />The completed undisturbed area drainage ditches and culverts will allow <br />the up -slope undisturbed runoff to bypass the disturbed area, return to <br />the native drainage channel, and ultimately flow into the meadow. There <br />should be no effect on water quality in Hay Gulch attributable to the <br />King II Mine. <br />GCC Energy, LLC King II Mine <br />Section 2.05.3 <br />Page 4 March, 2010 <br />
