ANTICIPATED PRODUCTION <br />It is anticipated that production may reach 1,300,000 tons per year. <br />However, total shipping from the mine is currently governed by La Plata <br />County Special Land Use Permit PL2012-0089 and associated Road <br />Improvement Agreement (RIW). See discussion at 2.05.2 page 1. <br />OPERATION PLAN, MINE FACILITIES <br />SUPPORT FACILITIES <br />The surface facilities and structures at the King II Mine are depicted on <br />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 are 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 is cut to provide a bench for the portal areas. <br />The highwall is at the outcrop of the coal seam being mined. Material <br />excavated to construct the portal face -up was used to level the mine <br />bench and fill the two surface water drainage channels after the <br />installation of the Undisturbed Drainage Ditches. The highwalls and the <br />back-filled surface water drainage channels are shown on Map King II - <br />007 and are included within the boundaries of the surface disturbed area <br />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 <br />channels (See Maps King II -007 A, B, 8v C) divert the up-slope runoff <br />around the disturbed areas. The reclamation plan calls for utilizing the <br />soil stored in the Bermed Topsoil Storage areas for re -vegetating these <br />areas upon abandonment of the mine. <br />GCC Energy, LLC King II Mine <br />Section 2.05.3 <br />Page 3 July 11, 2017 (RN -07) <br />
