MANAGEMENT <br />On behalf of Bowie Resources, LLC, enclosed is an application for a technical revision to incorporate a <br />new drying area at gob pile #3. <br />The drying area will be located in the footprint of the existing west coverfill stockpile. Efforts are <br />currently underway to relocate the west coverfill stockpile and create a new stockpile which will be <br />named the north coverfill stockpile. In addition to relocating the existing west stockpile, the footprint <br />must be sub - excavated to at least a depth of fifteen feet in order to meet coverfill reclamation <br />requirements for gob piles #2 & #3. <br />Since the drying area will be on native ground, no stability analyses is required. <br />Berms will be constructed at the low point of the drying area and notches will be cut through the berms <br />to allow the gob to dewater to Ditch J3. <br />No new disturbance will be created with this revision. <br />There will be an additional 50,000 CY of uncompacted refuse at gob pile #3. Therefore, the bond will <br />increase by $39,625. <br />Revised Volume IX page 12 Volume XI pages 4a and 4band a reclamation estimate are attached. <br />Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. <br />Sincerely, <br />Tamme Bishop, P.E. <br />Project Engineer <br />Cc: Bill Bear <br />
