Description of the Operation and Reclamation Plans <br />Underground room and pillar operations aze employed at the King Coal Mine. The coal is mined in <br />two continuous mining sections. After coal is removed from the working face, both sections utilize <br />shuttle cazs to transport coal to conveyors, which in turn transport the coal to the surface. The <br />surface operations associated with the underground mining operation consist of crushing, stockpiling <br />and loading coal. No coal processing facilities exist at the site at this time. Four types of coal aze <br />stockpiled temporazily on the surface: lump, stoker, railroad, and mine run. During the crushing of <br />the coal, fines are generated. The fines are combined with the mine run coal and sold. <br />Annual coal production is around 250,000 tons per yeaz with the possibility of increasing to 300,000 <br />tons per year. The anticipated life of the mine at the lower rate of mining is estimated through the <br />yeaz 2030. <br />Approximately 10.88 acres have been disturbed. Further surface disturbance is anticipated due to the <br />expansion of the coal waste pile. Surface facilities in the disturbed acreage consist of an office <br />building, change house, shop, scale house, mobile trailer, guard shack, tipple azea with two coal <br />storage bins, coal storage area, mine exhaust fan, 10,000 gallon water storage tank, and an electrical <br />substation. There is only one road serving the site, a combination pre-law hauUaccess road leading <br />from County Road 120 to the facilities area crossing Hay Gulch. Reclamation will consist of <br />dismantling and removing most of the structures, backfilling and sealing the underground portals, <br />regrading the area to achieve a stable, productive landform, top soiling, seeding, and mulching. The <br />proposed post-mining land use is rangeland and wildlife habitat. <br />Detailed information on the King Coal Operations Plan is found in Section 2.05.3 of the permit <br />application. Details of the Reclamation Plan are in Section 2.05.4 of the permit application. <br />7 <br />
