:~ INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: TOti[ KAI.DENRACt, ~ N [iE ANDE7, FROM: J~\NE"1' BIN S SUBJECT: M1tE'kiTIN WITH bf BIRD \NU 64IKfi. S~\vAGG DATE: 2/21 /2007 I met with Mike Savage, of Savage and Savage Environmental, and Tom Bird, of National King Coal, yesterday to discuss changes to the King II portal and facilities area that NKC is proposing. They plan to begin construction of the King II facilities on 2/26/2007. The operator provided maps of the proposed changes and of the currently approved facilities area. (These maps are in Tom K.'s office.) A summary of the proposed changes are: 1. Bury the power line along the north side of the facilities. 2. Change the shape of the sediment pond from triangular to oval. The sediment pond would be wider and have gentler inslopes but they do not project a change in sediment pond volume. 3. Add a second 10,000 Ton Coal stockpile. This would be raw coal coming directly out of the portal. This will also reconfigure the conveyor locations, add a stacker tube, conveyor length and additional supports 4. Realign the clean water ditches. 5. Relocate the leach field. This may require minor scaling of the slope to the SE of the proposed leach field. If scaling needs to occur, I informed Tom B. and Mike that it needs to be approved prior to disturbance since it appears to lay outside of the approved disturbance area boundary. They would likely need to permit the slope as an SAE. 6. Relocate Water tank. 7. The biggest change is proposed on the portal bench. Less material would be excavated in front (East) of the portals. The conveyor would run through a slot in the hill slope. The portal bench would be constructed relatively narrow. Some scaling above (west) of the portal might be necessary. 8. The topsoil pile footprint adjacent to the pond may be a bit narrower. However, with less disturbance proposed at the portal bench, less topsoil will need to be salvaged.
