With SL-2, the Division proposed to approve the releasing of 170.3 acres, of those 103.2 are recorded as disturbed and affected and 67.1 are undisturbed. Of the disturbed acres; 91.3 acres will be Phase I released, and 103.20 acres will be Phase II and III released. The loadout operation is operated by Hayden Gulch Terminal, LLC under the provisions of the Colorado Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Act of 1979. The bond release application was submitted by Hayden Gulch Terminal, LLC on October 22, 2020. SL-2 was submitted to the Division in conjunction with Permit Revision No. 2 (PR-2).
