COMMENTS
This was a partial inspection of the Terror Creek Loadout conducted by Jim Stark of the Colorado Division of
Reclamation, Mining and Safety. No representative from Terror Creek, LLC was present on the inspection. The
operation was not actively processing or loading coal at the time of the inspection. The Terror Creek Loadout is
idled and will only be staffed and operational if an order for the specialty coal it produces was received. The gate
to the site is open,however,because a trucking company leases the shop and warehouse building. The Terror
Creek Loadout is not being put into temporary cessation and, as such,will continue to perform all maintenance
and monitoring as required by the approved permit. The weather was cool and overcast and, despite recent rains
in the area,the ground was dry.

the inspection. The ditch was clean and stable,with no signs of any down-cutting or erosion.
