To assure <br /> a reliable water supply at the mine, GCC and Huntington Ranch completed a water rights <br /> conveyance and change of use for 34.07 acre-feet of water annually. <br /> 2.5 Reclamation <br /> After completion of mining at the King 11 Mine, facilities and surface reclamation would <br /> commence as detailed in Table 2-6 of the EA. Reclamation activities include portal sealing, <br /> facilities demolition, grading, topsoil spreading, revegetation, and success monitoring. These <br /> activities would conclude in approximately 3 to 5 years following exhaustion of the coal reserve. <br /> 2.6 Design Features <br /> A variety of design features is proposed by GCC to mitigate impacts associated with dust <br /> generation, traffic, and visual impacts along CR 120. GCC has also proposed installing a series <br /> of groundwater monitoring wells around the perimeter of mining operations to better assess <br /> potential impacts to groundwater resources. None of these design features, however, are for <br /> mitigating any impacts biological resources. <br /> July 2017 <br /> 9 <br />
