Re: King Coal I — Quarterly Waste Pile/Embankment Inspection
On June 23, 2016, Ryan Griglak, P.E. visited the GCC Energy, LLC King I Mine site to conduct the
quarterly inspection of the coal waste pile/embankment. Mr. Griglak, P.E. has conducted
inspections for the placement of earthwork embankment fill material for numerous
commercial, residential and municipal projects in which buildings, roadways and parking
facilities were installed over the placed materials.
The condition of the perimeter ditches located along the north and south sides of the property
were generally in good condition. There was recent work performed along the south ditch
where the culvert daylights under the access road to help minimize erosion (see Pic. 1). The
drainage channels were generally clear of debris and there was no damage observed to any of
the channel sections.
There was only minimal stockpiled material on top of the embankment (see Pic. 2). The face of
the embankment was in good condition and does not show any signs of excessive erosion,
instability or weakness (see Pic.3).
There is a single trailer stored on the site near the old bath house. The only structure with any
proximity to the embankment material is the old bath house which is no longer utilized and is
abandoned. Personnel are only on-site to bring and/or place material on the embankment or
for mine rescue training. The mine rescue training is performed on the north side of the site
well away from the embankment material. The site is closed to the public and there is a locked
gate at the entrance to keep the public out.
The waste pile has been and continues to be constructed and maintained as specified in the
design approved by the Division of Minerals and Geology. Potential hazards to life and property
are minimal due to the fact that GCC has moved most of their operations to their King 11 facility.
