This was a partial inspection of the Terror Creek Loadout conducted by Jim Stark of the Colorado Division of
Reclamation,Mining and Safety. Jim Kiger,representing Terror Creek,was contacted but was not available to

operational as needed. The weather was warm and sunny and there was some water on the ground as a result of
the thunderstorms the previous night.

-The sediment pond contained a small pool of water from the recent thunderstorms and was not discharging at the
time of the inspection. The pond embankment was well vegetated and stable and no erosional problems were
noted. The emergency spillway was clear and stable.
-The dug-out pond was dry at the time of the inspection. The pond was well vegetated and stable and no
erosional problems were noted.
-The roadside ditches all contained a small amount of standing water but were not flowing at the time of the
inspection. The ditches were clean,with very little sediment observed. The ditches were well vegetated and
stable and there were no erosional problems noted in either the ditch inslopes or the ditch bottoms.
GENERAL MINE PLAN COMPLIANCE:
-The Terror Creek Loadout is a loadout only. Operations at the site include processing coal(sizing coal)and
loading trains. The site was not operating at the time of the inspection and will only be operational when an order
for coal is received. There were sizable stockpiles of lump and stoker coal at the time of the inspection. The coal
fines pile was recently moved to the Elk Creek Mine,but there is a small pile of fines again. There were no
problems noted with the coal processing operations and they are consistent with what is approved in the permit.
