On behalf of Bowie Resources LLC, enclosed is an application for a minor revision to <br />address midterm review issues raised by the DRMS. <br />1. If there have been any changes to the ownership and control information for BRL since the <br />September 12, 2014 submittal under PR -14, please provide updated identification of interests <br />information as required by Rule 2.03.4. <br />BRL - There have not been any changes to the ownership and control information for BRL since <br />the September 12, 2014 submittal under PR -14 <br />2. Section 2.03.7 of the approved permit application package (page 2.03 -16) indicates that <br />there are no occupied dwellings within 300 feet measured horizontally of the surface <br />operations or facilities. Rule 2.07.6(2)(d)((v) requires the Division to, prior to issuing an permit, <br />permit revision, or permit renewal, make a finding that the affected area of a proposed <br />operation is not within 300 feet measured horizontally of any occupied dwelling, unless the <br />owner thereof has provided a written waiver consenting to surface coal mining operations <br />closer than 300 feet. Surface coal mining operations, as defined by Rule 1.04(132) (which <br />references 34 -33 -121) would include the surface affects of subsidence for those areas within <br />the angle of draw of the mine workings. The Turkey Track structures, shown on Map 27, are <br />within 300' of the affected area (as defined by Rule 1.04(7)) and angle of draw of Panels B18, <br />B20, and B22. Please provide a waiver, in accordance with the provisions of Rules 2.03.7 and <br />2.07.6(2)(d)(v), from the owner of the Turkey Track structures or revise the mine plan to <br />ensure that the required 300' buffer is maintained. <br />
