Box 483 <br />Paonia, CO 81428 <br />Re: Bowie No. 2 Mine (Permit No. C- 1996 -083) <br />3rd Quarter 2013 Pond Inspection Reports <br />Dear Mr. Bear: <br />The Division has received and reviewed BRL's response to our concerns with the 3rd Quarter <br />2013 Pond Inspection Reports for the Bowie No. 2 Mine. The information provided by J.E <br />Stover, on behalf of BRL, has adequately addressed our concerns with the report. The report <br />indicates that the remaining sediment capacity in Ponds C and F is 10% of the maximum storage <br />amount. BRL should endeavor to clean these ponds as soon as practical and continue to <br />monitor the water and sediment levels so that adequacy capacity for the design storm event is <br />available at all times. <br />If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Susan L. Burgmaier <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />cc: Jim Stover, J.E.
