Fork of the Gunnison River just north of the wye <br />section via a bridge. The disturbance created by the <br />railroad spur defines the southern boundary of the <br />disturbances created by other roadway and access <br />road disturbances. Nearly half the disturbance created <br />by this railroad disturbance is contiguous to the railroad <br />tracks of the Union Pacific Railroad. <br />This railroad spur, was used for over twenty years to <br />provide a method to ship commercial quantities of <br />prepared coal to the national and international steam <br />coal market. <br />Reclamation Status: The track associated with the rail <br />spur has been removed from site. Portions of the rail <br />spur have been regraded and seeded. Reclamation <br />activities occurred in 2007. The rail bridge has not <br />been removed. The grade of the wye section just south <br />of the rail bridge is elevated above the original ground <br />surface. This elevated wye section will be left in place <br />at the request of adjacent landowners. The landowners <br />also want the concrete abutments on the south side of <br />the river be left in place. See e-mail dated June 12, <br />2017 from the landowners to Ryan Wilson located in <br />Exhibit 14. <br />4. Truck dump, silo and train loadout facilities <br />The disturbances associated with these facilities <br />include the excavations for draw off tunnels, the <br />footprints of the structures, the drainage controls for <br />the access and haul roads, the power distribution <br />system, parking areas and three small "lay down" <br />areas, where some materials are temporarily stored. <br />One of these disturbances, closely associated with the <br />truck dump is the small bench just south of the truck <br />dump which provided a base for a haul road and a <br />fueling station. <br />RN -07 2.05-6 02/18 <br />
