This was a complete inspection of the Hayden Gulch Loadout conducted by Jim

cold and clear and there was covered with patches of snow.
Availability of Records: All of the necessary records were available at the offices of
Montgomery Watson Harza in Steamboat Springs. See the Records Checklist at the
end of the inspection for more details.
Sians and Markers: All of the required signs (including the mine ID sign, permit
boundary markers, topsoil stockpile markers, etc.) were in good shape and properly
displayed.
Roads: Haul Road 1, Haul Road 2 and the access road to the office were covered
with patches of snow and were wet. They appeared to be stable and in good
condition. There is a fair amount of vegetation growing on the roads due to
inactivity. Access to the loadout is via the Tie-Across-Haul-Road of Seneca Coal
Company. This road was also well maintained and in good condition.

feet below the discharge pipe. The pond appeared to be stable and in good

bottom. The pond appeared to be stable and in good condition as well.
