On behalf <br />of Bowie Resources, LLC, enclosed are the requested data. <br />General Comments <br />1. DRM : The Division would prefer that BRL remove all revisions to coverfill and <br />topsoil handling procedures, and instead include these proposals with Technical <br />Revision No. 77, currently under review. The material balance for Gob Piles #2 and #3 <br />are becoming intertwined with the suggestion that excess material from Gob Pile #3 <br />will be used at Gob Pile #2. If BRL is amenable to this suggestion, please request <br />that the Division remove from consideration under TR -84 the revisions to <br />topsoil and co verfill salvage and redistribution proposed on pages 2 and 4 of <br />Volume Xl, Appendix A, and Map 32, and instead provide responses to our <br />adequacy review of TR -84 topsoil and coverfill handling plans under TR -77, <br />BOW2: Please withdraw Appendix A from consideration as part of TR -84. It will be <br />analyzed as part of TR -77. <br />Revised Application Pages <br />2. DRM Page 2.05 -12 has been revised with this application. Section 5 — 'Gob <br />Piles" could be further enhanced by dedicating one paragraph to each Gob Pile - #1, <br />
