Re: King Coal Mine (Permit No. C-1981-035)
Proposed Decision
Permit Revision Application No. 10 (PR-10)

Dear Ms. Vance :

Enclosed you will find the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety's Proposed Decision Package
for Permit Revision No. 10 at the King Coal Mine. Notice of the proposed decision will be published
in the Durango Herald as soon as possible. The first publication will initiate the thirty (30) day
public comment period for the Division's decision.

Documentation must be submitted to the Division demonstrating that a copy of the approved revision
application was sent to the Office of Surface Mining and the Bureau of Land Management. The
material should be sent within 15 days of final approval.

Please be advised that federal mine plan approval may need to be obtained from the Office of Surface
Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM). OSM approval, in addition to State permit approval,
is required, before operations affecting federal coal may commence.

Please refer to the Performance Bond heading on the enclosed proposed decision form. If the amount
of Bond Held equals or exceeds the Revised Liability, you need not submit additional bond.
However, if the Revised Liability exceeds the Bond Held, please submit additional bond or rider to
your existing bond that equals or exceeds the Revised Liability. This Permit Revision must not be
implemented until this proposed decision becomes final and until any required increase in bond is
submitted to and approved by the Division.

If there are stipulations attached, please sign and return the proposed decision form to the Division.
