Tom Bird, GCCE <br />C- 1981 -035 RN -6 PAR <br />July 23, 2012 <br />Page 3 of 3 <br />2. Please update the Emission (Construction) Permit numbers and issuance and expiration <br />dates (King I and King II) to reflect the permits inserted in Appendix 2(2) under MR -34 in <br />January 2012. <br />3. Please update the Wastewater Discharge permit issuance and expiration dates (King I and <br />King II) <br />Section 2.03.11 Location of Public Office for Filing of Application <br />1. The address for the La Plata County Clerk and Recorder has changed. It is now 98 Everett <br />Street, Suite C, Durango, CO 81303. Please revise this section (King I and King 11) <br />accordingly. <br />Section 2.05.3 Operation Plan — Mine Plan Area and Permit Area <br />1. For King I, please revise this section to include a statement explaining that mining at the site <br />has been completed, and give the approximate date. Please revise the Anticipated <br />Production paragraph to show historical rather than anticipated rates. <br />2. With respect to the Mine Waste Rock Disposal portion of King I Section 2.05.3, the <br />Division is aware that GCCE plans to submit a Technical Revision application later this <br />summer. Please also revise this portion of the permit, as appropriate, to be consistent with <br />any changes proposed. <br />Section 2.05.4 Reclamation Plan <br />1. Page 2 of this section (King I) addresses the surface facilities that will permanently remain <br />on site following reclamation. Based on observations made during routine inspections of the <br />King I surface facilities area, it appears that the shop and upper pump house have been <br />removed. Presently, the bath house, sales office, substation, lower pump house, 37,000 <br />gallon water tank, laboratory /storage building, and the storage building adjacent to Burnwell <br />#2 Tipple are still on the site. Please review this section and update as necessary. <br />2. The Grading and Backfilling and Waste Pile Reclamation subsections on page 4 (King I) <br />may also require changes with the future TR application. Please ensure that these to <br />portions of this section are consistent with any changes proposed to the waste bank designs <br />in Appendix 10. <br />This concludes the Division's adequacy review of the King Coal Mine permit for Permit <br />Renewal No. 6 (RN -6). Please contact me with any questions you may have. <br />Sincerely, <br />Marcia L.
