• that could Prompt HGTI to re-activate the loadout in the near future. <br />These opportunities include constructing the currently approved rail <br />unloading facilities or, a new long-term coal-supply contract that would <br />utilize currently undeveloped coal reserves southwest of Hayden, Colorado, <br />controlled by Peabody Energy Corporation. Seneca Coal Company, e <br />subsidiary of Peabody Coal Company, has a contract with the Hayden Power <br />Generation Station to supply aBProximately 1.7 million tons of coal Dar <br />year through 2011. If the Hayden Station increases its power generation <br />capacity, Seneca Coal Company might choose to meet the increased coal <br />demand by rail haulage from another source. Tha coal would most likely be <br />hauled into the Hayden Gulch Loadout, unloaded, and then transferred to the <br />Hayden Station. Peabody Energy Corporation has recently conducted coal <br />exploration oa coal reserves southwest of Hayden in the vi ciaity of the <br />Hayden Gulch Mine. HGTI could use these reserves to fulfill a long-term <br />coal-supply contract, in which case, the loadout would be used to load the <br />rail haulage. <br />Since DMGs approval of the original permit application (Permit C-92-081) in <br />May 1993, HGTI has submitted several revisions. A brief sun¢oary of the <br />• revisions follows. <br />RNO1 - Permit Renewal O1 (approved July 16, 1998) <br />SR04 - Incidental Permit Boundary Change (approved September 24, 1999) <br />TROS - Coal Handling Facilitie6 Modification (approved July 24, 2000) <br />rIIi10 - Midterm Review, Response to Coxmnents (approved June 15, 2001) <br />In addition to these approved revisions, the DMG approved the Succession of <br />Operators application for the Hayden Gulch Mine oa January 21, 2003. The <br />Successi oa of Operators application transferred Permit C-80-003, Hayden <br />Gulch Mine, from H-G Coal Company to HGTI. While the two properties (the <br />surface mine and rail loadout facility) originally covered under Permit C- <br />80-003 are once again owned/operated by the same company, they will retain <br />their existing and separate coal and reclamation permits issued by DMG. <br />3 Revised 3/20/03 <br />
