11A17 4, GULCH LOAI)OU'1' 1'EltlNll'I' SUNIMAI2'%' STA'T'US UPDATE In March 2011, Permit Revision (PR -01) was submitted to include the Tie -Across Haul Road (TAHR) as an integral part of the Hayden Gulch Loadout Pen -nit C-92-081. Originally the TAHR was included as part of the Seneca II -W pen -nit and was used as a haul road to transport coal to the Hayden Power Station. Now that the Seneca lI-W mine is no longer an active mining operation, the TAHR has been transferred to the Hayden Gulch Loadout Permit area. The Hayden Gulch Loadout is now designated as a coal handling facility in Active status as of July 5, 2016 due to the ongoing reclamation activities. To date, all coal handling facilities have been removed and the associated facilities disturbance area has been reclaimed. With the exception of the RCR37 and US40 rail crossings, all rail, ties, and ballast for the rail spur have been removed. Hayden Gulch Terminal, LLC (HGT) is in the process of finalizing the required land agreements to transfer the loadout property to the Town of Hayden for use as a recreational trail and parking area, and the TAHR to Routt County, as a County Road. Once the agreements are finalized, HGT anticipates submitting a revision to the CDRMS for a change in postmining land use consistent with these proposed new uses, and a request for termination of jurisdiction and final bond release. The appropriate information once contained in the Seneca lI-W permit has now been included in Permit C-92-081.
