King Coal Mine (C-1981-035) TR -24 CDRMS Information Database Reconciliation <br />PR -08, the addition of the King II mine, approved June 15, 2006. However, this <br />11.0 acres number should have been increased by 12.6 acres with the approval of <br />TR -08, the expansion of the King I refuse pile, approved February 6, 1998. With <br />the addition of the TR -08 acreage of 12.6 acres, the Total Approved Disturbed <br />acreage at the King I mine should be 23.6 acres. <br />Map 2 shows the various correct acreages associated with the King I mine as a <br />total of 23.60 acres. <br />King II Mine <br />With the approval of PR -08, the construction of the King II mine facilities, the <br />CDRMS database shows and addition of 20 acres. All of the permit text and maps <br />submitted and approved in PR -08 cited the actual acreage to be 22.36 acres. The <br />acreage shown in the database should be corrected to 22.36 acres. <br />MR -33, the installation of a water pipeline on the north side of County Road 120, <br />approved March 31, 2011, is listed in the CDRMS database as 0.41 acres. All but <br />0.12 acres of the pipeline cross an area already within the 22.36 PR -08 Disturbed <br />acreage. Only 0.12 acres of the 0.41 acres listed should appear in the database. <br />TR -18, the installation of the same water pipeline on the south side of County <br />Road 120, approved May 5, 2011, shows 0.41 acres of additional disturbance. <br />This number is correct. <br />TR -22, the addition of 9 exploration drill hole sites, approved July 3, 2014, adds a <br />combined total disturbed area of the 9 sites of 2.1 acres. This acreage is correct <br />in the database, although it should be noted that, for geologic reasons, one of the <br />holes was never drilled and the site was not disturbed. <br />Map 3 shows the various correct acreages associated with the King II mine as a <br />total of 24.99 acres. The combined total disturbed area of both the King I and <br />King II mines (including the TR -22 drill sites) should, therefore, be 23.60 + 24.99 = <br />48.59 acres. <br />Please contact Tom Bird at 970.385.4528 x 6503 with questions or comments. <br />Sincerely, <br />Tom Bird <br />i <br />Manager of Coal Services <br />GCC Energy, LLC <br />
