Separate King I and King II forms have been retained as supporting information. <br />The "Acreage in long-term mining or reclamation facilities" has been revised as requested to equal the <br />total amount of disturbed acres. The King I actual disturbed acreage of 15.42 acres was originally <br />incorrectly shown as 23.60 acres, which is the area approved for disturbance rather that the area actually <br />disturbed. <br />The amount of seeded acreage for King I has been revised to show 0.3 acres in the "Greater than 10 <br />years" category. <br />The "Acreage in active mining areas" has been changed to zero as requested. <br />As suggested, both maps have been modified such that no other features are the same color as the <br />polygons for "Reclaimed Areas". <br />Please contact me at (970) 385-4528 x 6503 if you have any questions or comments. <br />Sincerely, <br />Tom Bird <br />i <br />Manager of Coal Services <br />GCC Energy, LLC <br />
