<br />The King Coal t4ine is an underground mine employing room and pillar mining. <br />Coal is mined by two continuous miners and is transported to the surface by a <br />conveyor system. Four products are prepared for customer use: lump, stoker, <br />railroad, and mine run. Any fine coal produced is mixed with the mine run <br />coal. Annual production is anticipated at 90,000 to 120,000 tons per year. <br />The coal is federally owned and leased to National King Coal. Based on <br />current production and reserves, life of mine is about ten years. <br />Reclamation will consist of dismantling and removing all structures, <br />backfilling and sealing the underground portals, regrading the area to achieve <br />a stable, productive land form, top soiling, seeding and mulching. The proposed <br />post-mining land use is rangeland and wildlife habitat. <br />-4- <br />
