COMMENTS
This was a complete inspection of the Bowie No. 2 Mine conducted by Susan Burgmaier of DRMS. Bill Bear of
Bowie Resources, LLC was present during the entire inspection, and Tamme Bishop of JE Stover & Associates,
Inc. was present during much of the site inspection. Weather conditions during the inspection were variable,
sunshine to snow flurries and about 40 degrees. Ground conditions were dry in on the lower elevations, and
muddy up high.
The operator indicated that the longwall miner was finishing Panel 14 the day of the inspection, and that the
longwall move to Panel 15 would begin later that day. It is estimated that the move will take approximately three
weeks to complete before production begins again in Panel 15.
AIR RESOURCE PROTECTION — Rule 4.17:
No fugitive dust was observed anywhere on site. The main haul road had been washed down early on the morning
of the inspection, so equipment running on the surface was not generating dust. Material being moved in the Gob
Pile 43 area was sufficiently wet and not creating dust.
AVAILABILITY OF RECORDS — Rule 5.02.4(1):
Records were reviewed at the Bowie Resources, LLC main office. All required documents were available for
inspection, as documented on the final page of this report.
FISH and WILDLIFE — Rule 4.18:
A few deer were observed along the haul road, near Topsoil Stockpile A.
