RN23-06 1-1 Revised 05/23 HAYDEN GULCH LOADOUT PERMIT SUMMARY STATUS 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 Permit C-92-081. Originally the TAHR was included as part of the Seneca II-W permit and was used as a haul road to transport coal to the Hayden Power Station. Now that the Seneca II-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. All rail, ties, and ballast for the rail spur have been removed. Hayden Gulch Terminal, LLC (HGT) initiated lease agreements with the Town of Hayden for use and development of a recreational trail system and parking area. This was initiated with PR02 and finalized with the approval of SL2 Phase I, II, III release of the rail loop area under the use of recreation. TR12 finalized the approval for the TAHR to remain as a permanent roadway that will be turned over to Routt County as a County Road upon the final approval of SL3 releasing the TAHR from the permit. The appropriate information once contained in the Seneca II-W permit has been included in Permit C-92-081. This updated/additional information has been included in this permit revision (PR-01) in the following areas: • Tab 1, Permit Summary • Tab 3, Adjudication File • Tab 5, Cultural Resources • Tab 9, Soil Resources • Tab 10, Vegetation • Tab 12, Facilities • Tab 17, Reclamation Schedule • Tab 20, Revegetation Plan • Tab 23, Bonding
