HISTORY <br />APR <br />10 April 2014 <br />Susan L. Burgmaier <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />CHS #65758 <br />RE: Bowie #2 Mine (Permit #C- 1996 -083), Technical Revision #87 (TR -87), Expand Pond D, <br />Relocate East and West Diversion Ditches <br />Dear Ms. Burgmaier: <br />Thank you for your recent correspondence dated 2 April 2014, concerning the proposed changes <br />to the Bowie #2 coal mine in Delta County. Our office has reviewed the submitted materials. <br />This mine is associated with the historic King Mine (5DT.1053), which was determined to be <br />eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. <br />The proposed expansion of Pond D would require the demolition of the Coal Sales building, <br />which is a contributing feature of the historic King Mine. This would have an adverse effect on <br />the National Register - eligible King Mine. <br />The 1995 survey of the King Mine area did not identify any significant resources in the area of <br />the proposed relocated diversion ditches. However, since the work will involve earth- moving <br />activities, it is possible that historic and /or prehistoric resources could be uncovered during the <br />course of work. <br />If you have any questions, please contact Joseph Saldibar, Architectural Services Manager, at <br />(303 866 -3741. <br />Sin ely, —� <br />E rd C.
