COMMENTS
A complete inspection of the King Coal Mine was conducted by me, Marcia Talvitie, of the
DRMS on Monday, November 26, 2012. The inspection began with a records check; the field
portion included tours on foot of the King I and King 11 Surface Facilities. The operator was
represented during the inspection by Wade Wymore. Skies were clear and the temperatures were
mild.
AVAILABILITY OF RECORDS —Rule 5.02.4(1):
• Permitting records were available for inspection in Tom Bird's office at the King II facility.
A completed DRMS Availability of Records Form is attached to this report.
EXCESS SPOIL and DEVELOPMENT WASTE—Rule 4.09
Placement; Drainage Control; Surface Stabilization:
• At the King I site, Coal Mine Waste (CMW)that had been placed against the portal highwall
a year ago was being removed and replaced on the permitted CMW disposal area (waste
pile). A track-mounted excavator was situated on the bench, loading the material into a pair
of tandem-axle trucks (Photos 1 and 2). The trucks then transported the CMW to the top of
the pile, where it was dumped. Mr. Wymore said the work is scheduled to be completed no
later than Friday, November 30, 2012, which is the date that abatement of CV-2012-003 is
due.
• General details regarding the Waste Pile are provided in Sections 2.05.3 and 2.05.4 of the
permit; specific details addressing design and construction of the pile are located in
Appendix 10(1). Much of the CMW that has been recently hauled to the Waste Pile was
already compacted, in 12" to 18" lifts as required by the permit. A number of dumped loads
were still in-place, waiting to be spread out across the surface of the pile (Photo 3).
• Surface drainage on the pile appeared to be being maintained throughout the construction
project. Mr. Wymore said ditches are being adjusted to accommodate the height increase.
