Page 3 <br />June 10, 2015 <br />King Coal Mine (C-1981-035) <br />MT -07 Report Section 2.05.2 <br />This section indicates a mine life of six to nine years. With a start date of 2007, the termination date would be <br />2016. The report text, however, notes a date range of 2021 to 2024, and the meaning of these dates with <br />respect to the life of the mine is not clear. An extension of the existing termination date, assumed to be 2016, <br />if so implied, is not supported. <br />Overall Comments <br />It is not clear that mid-term reviews have been occurring on a 5 -year interval. In any case, we request that <br />these reviews and other periodic monitoring be diligently implemented due to the significant impact of King <br />Coal within the county. <br />Finally, we note that identification of impacts to Threatened and Endangered species and submittal of a Fish <br />and Wildlife Plan were requested by DRMS' MT -07 and as required by Rule 2.04.11 and 2.05.6. These items, <br />however, were not included with the GCC's MT -07 Report, and therefore we question whether the application <br />is complete for the purposes of filing. <br />Due to the impacts of this project within the County, we request party status in this mid-term review and <br />associated permit revisions. <br />Thank you again for the opportunity to comment and for your consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />9;fiecrz� dj�'&U� <br />Victoria Schmitt, PE <br />La Plata County Planning Engineer <br />Cc: Joe Kerby, County Manager <br />Damian Peduto, Community Development Director <br />Daniel Murray, Senior Planner <br />Sheryl Rogers, County Attorney <br />
