Martiki Mine Martin County, Kentucky

Size: 5,000 acres Ownership: Lauren Land Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Massey Energy, owns surface rights for the proposed area of development, except for site gas wells; Massey Energy owns mineral rights above drainage, and Alliance Coal owns mineral rights under drainage Alternative Energy Development Suitability: Based upon developed criteria and scoring, this site is best suited for the development of a CTG/CTL facility (Criteria and scoring does not necessarily guarantee site success) Nuclear: 68% - Adequate water supply for continuous operation may not readily available to support a nuclear facility, furthermore mine spoil and fill may present foundational design restrictions Wind: Wind speed inadequate to develop a utility scale facility Solar: 66% - Average annual solar radiation for two-axis flat plates is 5.92 kWh/m2/day Biomass: 75% - Available biomass in Martin and its surrounding Counties is >185,000 tonnes per year, which is lower than other Counties in the State CTG/CTL: 90% - Abundance of coal in the area with adequate access to rail and road and distance to high transmission lines make this site a viable location Utilities:

• Potable Water – Available from the Martin County, but not installed

• Electric – AEP, 138 kVA line substation on site

• Gas – Columbia Transmission, 8” and 20” lines on-site

• Broadband – Currently at site, but located in the County

• Sewer – None available in the area Transportation:

• Rail – Norfolk-Southern, double track on site • Road – KY 2032, KY 1439, 2- lane, paved • Barge – Not available • Airport Proximity – Big Sandy Regional

Airport - 20-miles southwest Water Availability:

• Water Supply – Petercave Lake – 46 acre lake located within site boundaries, which can accommodate a 2,500 gallon per minute withdrawal – other viable supply may be abandoned mines in the area, but further study required

Available Workforce:

• > 50,000 potential workers within the Martin County area

Site Considerations:

• Wetlands –Only small area of 5,000 acre land is wetlands – associated with Petercave Lane and Wolf Creek and McGee Branch

• Floodplains – Critical building site is above the 100-year floodplain of Wolf Creek and Pigeonroost Fork

• Water Resources – Discharge to Wolf Creek, Petercave Fork, and Pigeonroost Fork

• Reclaimed surface mine, with some active reclamation still ongoing

• Adequate coal supply and moderate

sequestration potential • Moderate geological assets with low seismic

risk • Shallow gas and oil wells in the area – site

located in middle of the Big Sandy Gas Field

Environmental Assets: • T&E –Not likely, further investigation

required • Cultural Resources – Further investigation

required, no documented National Register properties or previously recorded sites within one mile

• Class I Visibility – Property located within 100-miles of Mammoth Cave and Great Smoky Mountain National Park west and south, respectively

Public Access Areas – None identified within a 10-mile radius

• Non-Attainment – 50 miles from Ashland, KY, a non-attainment area

• Environmental assessment may be required prior to development due to former site operations

• Site contains active, inactive or abandoned oil/gas wells for potential co-generation
