MANAGEMENT <br />On behalf of Bowie Resources, LLC, BRL, enclosed is an application for a minor revision <br />to allow for the replacement of a section of the Pitkin Mesa pipeline that overlies <br />longwall panels B -15 and B -16. <br />Project Description <br />BRL plans to install 4,300 feet of 6 inch diameter schedule 80 HDPE pipe adjacent to <br />the existing Pitkin Mesa pipeline. The new pipe will be placed in a trench excavated <br />next to the existing pipeline. The new pipe installed by BRL will replace the existing <br />pipeline. The existing pipeline will be capped and remain in place. BRL will backfill the <br />pipeline, replace topsoil and seed the disturbed area as the pipeline is installed. <br />Right of Entry <br />Work will be performed within the Pitkin Mesa pipeline easement. <br />Affected and Disturbed Area <br />There will be 2 acres of new disturbance. The affected area will increase 0.2 acres <br />because about 500 feet of the pipeline are located outside of the affected area <br />boundary. <br />There was some overlap in the disturbed area calculated for MR -132 (6.1 ac), TR -72 <br />(1.8 ac) and TR -75 (6.6) a total of 14.5 acres. The primary overlap occurred between <br />MR -132 and TR -75. It is calculated the total disturbed area for these three permit <br />actions is 8.7 acres. This results in a 5.8 acre reduction in the total affected and <br />disturbed area. The net result is a 5.6 (5.8 - 0.2) acre reduction in the affected area <br />and a 3.8 (5.8 - 2.0) acre reduction in the disturbed area. <br />
