of coal will be stockpiled temporarily on the surface: lump, stoker, railroad, and mine run. Crushing <br />the coal will generate fines that will be combined with the mine run coal and sold. <br />Recent coal production has been azound 500,000 tons per yeaz. Mining proposed in PR-8 would <br />increase production to 610,000 tons per year. The life ofthe mine is projected to extend through the <br />year 2030. <br />Approximately 10.88 acres have been disturbed at the King Coal Mine and an additiona120 acres <br />will be disturbed at the King II Mine. Surface facilities in the disturbed areas of each mine will <br />include: an office building, change house, shop, scale house, guazd shack, tipple area with~coal <br />storage bins, coal storage azea, mine exhaust fan, water storage tank, and an electrical substation. An <br />air wash plant is located at the King Coal Mine. A haul road will connect the surface facilities azea <br />at each mine to County Road 120. The haul road at the King Coal Mine is a pre-law road that the <br />Division has previously approved as a permanent feature. Reclamation at each mine will consist of: <br />dismantling and removing all structures except those approved for permanent retention; backfilling <br />and sealing the underground portals; regrading to achieve a stable, productive landform; and <br />distributing topsoil, seed, and mulch. The proposed postmining land use is rangeland and wildlife <br />habitat. <br /> <br /> <br />
