Susan Burgmaier -11 July 10, 2014 <br />BRL - Map 14B shows panels that mine both in the upstream and downstream direction. <br />The mining direction cannot be changed because there are panels located on each side of <br />the mains. <br />38. Pages 27 and 29 of Exhibit 15 state that there are no buildings present at the Bowie #2 <br />Mine under the current permit term. With the PR -14 expansion, there will be structures <br />within the permit boundary and the affected area. Please revise pages 27 and 29 of <br />Exhibit 15 to address the presence of these buildings. <br />DBMS - Pages 27 and 29 of Exhibit 15 were revised. <br />39. DRMS - Please update the Roadssection on page 29 of Exhibit 15 to include roads in <br />the western mining area and PR -14 expansion area. <br />BRL - The roads section on page 29 was updated. <br />40. DBMS - Page 30 of Exhibit 15 says that there are no areas within the Bowie #2 mine <br />plan with overburden greater than 1500'. Please update page 30 of Exhibit 15 to include <br />the overburden depths in the Spruce Stomp area, which are in excess of 1,500' in the <br />zones of minor subsidence impact. <br />BRL - The discussion of areas with overburden greater than 1,500 feet was deleted from <br />the text since those areas are obviously in a zone of minor subsidence. <br />41. DRMS - Please update page 33 of Exhibit 15 to include perennial streams in the list <br />of surface water resources within the affected area. <br />BRL - Perennial streams were added to the list of water resources on page 33. <br />42. DRMS - Exhibit 15 will need to be updated to include Stevens Gulch Road. <br />a. Please update page 45 of Exhibit 15 to include a plan for monitoring and repair of <br />any subsidence damage that would occur on Stevens Gulch road as a result of <br />mining in the PR -14 expansion area. <br />BRL - A plan for monitoring and repair of Stevens Gulch Road was added to page 45 of <br />Exhibit 15. <br />b. Given that Stevens Gulch is a publicly used road, the monitoring frequency for this <br />road should be increased. Please update page 45 of Exhibit 15 to include weekly <br />monitoring during active subsidence, quarterly for one year after subsidence, and <br />then annually thereafter. <br />BRL - The monitoring frequency for Stevens Gulch Road was added as requested. <br />
