Brian Watterson of Hayden Gulch <br /> Terminal accompanied the inspection. The load out consists of a mostly reclaimed train load out, along with a <br /> haul road. The facilities, coal storage area and office area have been reclaimed,but two ponds, a substation,and <br /> the rail line remain. The haul road is no longer used to haul coal,but is used by the public,in spite of private road <br /> signage. <br /> The load out was snow covered at the time of the inspection with approximately 18 Inches+snow pack, Access <br /> was limited as the snow is partially melted and slushy,rendering travel by snow shoes very difficult. The Tie <br /> Across Haul Road(TAHR)had been plowed and was dry. <br /> AVAILABILITY OF RECORDS—Rule 5.02.4(1): <br /> The permit records are stored at the Foidel Creek Mine office. The majority of the records are found in <br /> the Engineering trailer,with the permit binders, and annual reports located in the basement of the training <br /> building. Surface water and Ground water quarterly reports are in the drawer of one of the office desks. <br /> HGT needs to place September and October 2015 DRMS inspection reports in the file. <br /> Midterm No. 4,reclamation cost estimate update needs to be filed. <br /> FISH and WILDLIFE—Rule 4.18: <br /> A flock of approximately 30 Sand Hill Crane was feeding on the north east side of the TAHR. They were <br /> well off the road way and not in danger of being impacted by vehicle traffic along the road way.
