<br /> <br />The Tie-Across Haul Road (TAHR) was originally included in permit C-1982-057 (Seneca II-W <br />Mine). The acreage (96.6 acres) is separated from the backfill and grading schedule and <br />the reclamation schedule because of the current uncertain fate of the road, due in part to <br />the potential future mining in western Routt County that could require the use of this <br />road; in addition, Routt County has expressed interest in retaining the road as a future <br />county road. The road is currently approved to remain in place until year 2030. <br /> <br />Rails to Trails <br /> <br />In 2020, the HGTI under the operation of Peabody, entered into an agreement with the Town <br />of Hayden to convert the Rail Spur south of Highway 40 and the Rail Loop into a recreation <br />area for the Town of Hayden. In doing so the sections of rail spur and rail loop will not <br />be backfilled or graded. The Town of Hayden will maintain the railbed areas as recreation <br />areas intended for hiking, biking, cross country skiing, etc. <br /> <br />Any topsoil piles associated with the reclamation of the rail spur and rail loop areas of <br />the recreation area will be left in place as permanent features. The topsoil piles are <br />stable and well vegetated. <br /> <br />The rail loop pond and the truck loop pond will stay as permanent features with in the <br />recreation area of the Town of Hayden. The ponds draw wildlife to the area which adds to <br />the value of the recreational trail system. <br /> <br />Cessation of Operations <br /> <br />In the event a cessation of operations is to occur for a period of 30 days or more, or as <br />soon as it is known that a temporary cessation will extend beyond 30 days, the CDRMS will <br />be notified. Within 90 days after notification, a notice of intention to cease <br />temporarily or abandon operations will be submitted to the CDRMS defining the information <br />required in Rules 4.30.1 and 4.30.2 as applicable. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />PR-02 4 Revised 11/2021
