ANTICIPATED PRODUCTION <br />It is anticipated that production may reach 1,300,000 tons per year. <br />OPERATION PLAN - PERMIT AREA <br />MINE FACILITIES <br />SUPPORT FACILITIES <br />The anticipated surface facilities and structures at the King II Mine are <br />depicted on Map King II -007 (Operation Plan and Surface Facilities). The <br />descriptions and tables in Section 2.05.4 identify each. In general, the <br />mine facilities include the mine bench and portals, offices, maintenance, <br />and shop facilities, infrastructure for supplying power and ventilation to <br />the mine, substation, fuel tanks, water and septic systems, haul and <br />access roads, sediment control systems, stockpiles for topsoil and coal <br />products, and coal sorting and load -out structures. Detailed designs for <br />all structures with design and certification requirements are located in <br />Appendices 10 and 11. <br />MINE BENCH <br />The surface disturbed area includes the surface facilities area, the mine <br />bench and the access road to the mine bench. Total disturbed acreage is <br />estimated to be 22.36 acres. All surface facilities for the support and <br />processing of coal will be constructed as shown on Map King II -007 <br />(Operations Plan and Surface Features Map). No surface mining <br />operations exist on the project area; all coal extraction activities are to be <br />confined to the underground King II Mine. <br />Map King II -007 shows the operations area which includes the mine <br />bench. <br />A stable sloped highwall will be cut to provide a bench for the portal <br />areas. The highwall is at the outcrop of the coal seam being mined. <br />Material excavated to construct the portal face -up will be used to level <br />the mine bench and fill the two surface water drainage channels after the <br />installation of the Undisturbed Drainage Ditches. <br />The highwalls and the back - filled surface water drainage channels are <br />shown on Map King II -007 and are included within the boundaries of the <br />surface disturbed area of 22.36 acres. <br />Spoil material from the earth worked areas will remain in the general <br />facilities area in the west drainage area for use as fill. Diversion culverts <br />and channels (See Maps King II -007 A, B, 8s C) will divert the up -slope <br />runoff around the disturbed areas. The reclamation plan calls for <br />utilizing the soil stored in the Bermed Topsoil Storage areas for re- <br />vegetating these areas upon abandonment of the mine. <br />GCC Energy, LLC King II Mine <br />Section 2.05.3 <br />Page 3 August 15, 2014 7'R-?3 <br />
