EXISTING STRUCTURES
There were no existing structures prior to construction at the King II
Mine as defined by Rule 2.05.3(3)(b).
ROADS
One combination haul/access road was constructed to access the mine
facilities and coal load -out. The road originates at La Plata County Road
120 and proceeds north to a location south of the mine bench where the
road splits, forming 2 loops through the mine facilities. Specific designs
and the engineer's certification for this road are included in Appendix 10
and Maps King II -007 D thru G.
An access road to the water tanks originates at the office building and
ends at the water tanks. Specific designs and the engineer's certification
for this road are included in Appendix 10.
An access road to the conveyor/return portal area originates at the office
building and end at the conveyor/return air portal area. Specific designs
and the engineer's certification for this road will be included in Appendix
10.
CONVEYORS
The conveyor system constructed at the King II Mine is depicted on Map
King II -007 and described in Section 2.05.4 (Removal of Surface
Facilities) .
SURFACE DRAINAGE AND RECLAMATION
Reclamation of the permit area is covered in Section 2.05.4. The entire
disturbed area is required for coal operations - all space is utilized.
Plans for abandonment of the mine are discussed in Section 2.05.4.
Surface drainage patterns through the permit area and the up-slope
areas are shown on Maps King II -007 A thru G . Details of the diversion
channels and piping systems are discussed in Section 2.05.6 and
Appendix 11.
Maps King II -007 A thru G show the runoff flows in the mine plan area
and the permit area. Sediment pond design, drainage plans and
designed hydraulic structures located within the project area are certified
by a professional engineer. These certifications are included in
Appendices 10 & 11.
The undisturbed area drainage ditches and culverts allow the up-slope
undisturbed runoff to bypass the disturbed area, return to the native
drainage channel, and ultimately flow into the Hay Gulch Ditch. There
should be no effect on water quality in the Hay Gulch Ditch attributable
to the King II Mine.
