Mid-Term Review
Terror Creek Loadout
Introduction
This document presents the results of the Division's mid-term review of Terror
Creek Company's Terror Creek Loadout. This mid-term review was conducted to
fulfill the requirements of rule 2.08.3, 2.06.2(9), 2.06.3(4), 2.06.5(3),
2.06.7(5) and 3.02.2(4),
Rule 2,08,3 requires that the Division conduct a review of each permit issued,
prior to its mid-term (2 1/2 years). Based on this review, for good cause
shown, the Division may require reasonable revision or modification of the
permit provisions to ensure compliance with the Act and Regulations.
Rules 2,06.2(9), 2.06.3(4), 2.06.5(3), 2.06.7(5) requires that experimental
practices, mountaintop removal variances, and variances from approximate
original contour and contemporaneous reclamation be reviewed by the Division
where applicable. The Terror Greek Loadout permit does not have any
operations under these categories.
Rule 3.02.2(4) requires that the Division review the amount of the bond and
the terms of acceptance of the bond every 2 1/2 years.
The mid-term review consisted of a detailed review of the Terror Creek Loadout
Permit application to identify any items that may have been overlooked during
the initial review. The Division also reviewed all subsequent revisions and
stipulation responses to ensure that all permit commitments and conditions
were being followed. Problems and observations from past inspection reports
were considered while conducting the review.

of what items need to be revised, a rationale for requiring these revisions,
and timetables for completing these revisions, Part II presents a summary of
the status of the stipulations attached to the Terror Creek Loadout Permit
