CONUEVIENTS
This was a complete inspection of Terror Creek Loadout conducted by Jim Stark of the Colorado Division of
Reclamation,Mining and Safety. Jim Kiger from Terror Creek,LLC was present for the records check portion of
the inspection(at the Elk Creek offices)but not for the on the ground portion of the inspection. The operation was
actively processing coal but did not appear to be loading a train at the time of the inspection. The Terror Creek
Loadout is generally 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 warm and sunny
and the ground was wet and muddy from the melting snow.
