The Division has completed a second adequacy review of the minor revision application (MR -146)
submitted by Bowie Resources, LLC (BRL) for the Bowie No. 2 Mine. The revision proposes a reclamation
plan and cost estimate for replacement of a section of the Pitkin Mesa Pipeline over Panels 15 and 16,
and corrects the disturbed and affected area acreage within the permit area. We have the following
comments regarding the application.
1. The Division will place the following stipulation, regarding topsoil handling, on the approval of MR-
146.
"Prior to removal of topsoil along the Pitkin Mesa pipeline, all snow in the topsoil
removal area shall be removed. Topsoil may not be removed if ground conditions are
wet or snowy. Photographic documentation of conditions at topsoil removal shall be
recorded and submitted to the Division."
2. The Division will place the following stipulation, regarding excavation through Stevens Gulch Road,
on the approval of MR -146:
"Prior to excavation through Stevens Gulch Road, Bowie Resources, LLC must submit, to
the Division, documentation of Delta County's acknowledgement of the excavation
activities within the roadway."
3. The Division will place the following stipulation, regarding subsidence monitoring, on the approval of
MR-146:
"Prior to any Pitkin Mesa Pipeline replacement disturbance, Bowie Resources, LLC (BRL)
must determine which subsidence monuments located over the replaced pipeline
segment will be disturbed. Any monuments that will be disturbed by the pipeline
replacement must be surveyed prior to removal, reset, and surveyed again, with the
reset positions calibrated relative to the original locations. No undermining of the
pipeline may occur until the monuments are in place and surveyed. BRL must include
