The steep <br />section is along the western edge of the pile, and encompasses 0.1 acres of the 1.1 acre gob pile. <br />The attached stability analyses demonstrates that the gob pile is stable with a small portion of it <br />constructed at a slope angle of 1.51-1:1V. <br />Gob pile #1 is located within the approved disturbed area boundary, and the permit boundary. <br />An increase in the reclamation bond is not required. <br />Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ta uNt,e. 13 i y --, <br />Tamme Bishop, P.E. <br />Project Engineer <br />Cc: Bill Bear, Bowie Resources, LLC (electronically) <br />Paonia Public Library <br />Bureau of Land Management (electronically) <br />US Forest Service (electronically) <br />The following revised permit pages are enclosed: <br />Volume IV - Page 5, 5i <br />Volume XI - Text pages 18 & 19, Stability analyses performed by HBET, dated November 21. <br />
