AN,COLORADO <br />Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />December 16, 2014 <br />William A. Bear <br />Bowie Resources, LLC <br />P.O. Box 483 <br />Paonia, CO 81428 <br />Re: Bowie No. 2 Mine (Permit No. C- 1996 -083) <br />Minor Revision No. 168 (MR -168) <br />Midterm Review Response <br />Dear Mr. Bear: <br />The Division has completed a preliminary adequacy review of the minor revision application (MR -168) submitted <br />by J.E. Stover & Associates, Inc. for the Bowie No. 2 Mine. The revision provides updated permit application <br />materials in response to issues raised in the Division's midterm review of the Bowie No. 2 Mine permit <br />application package. We have the following comments regarding the minor revision application. <br />1. The last two sentences of proposed page 2.05 -52 are duplicative of the first two sentences of currently <br />approved page 2.05 -53 (PR -12 2/10). Please revise proposed page 2.05 -52 to remove the last two <br />sentences of the last paragraph. <br />2. The first paragraph of revised page 2.05 -106 includes a list of maps depicting various components of the <br />sedimentation control plan. The list includes Map 22 -D (presumably a detailed drawing of Pond D). The <br />Division's copy of the approved permit application package does not include a Map 22 -D, and the detailed <br />drawings of Pond D are located in Volume IV. Please correct the map reference for Pond D on proposed <br />page 2.05 -106, or provide a proposed Map 22 -D. <br />3. Proposed pages 2.05 -45i through 2.05 -45x list all of the underground openings that have been constructed <br />under the Bowie No. 2 Mine permit (including holes drilled under the Bowie No. 1 permit that have been <br />incorporated into Bowie No. 2). We appreciate the effort BRL has undertaken to compile an accurate and <br />complete list. Comparing the proposed list to previously submitted abandonment reports and Map 9, it <br />appears that some holes may have been inadvertently omitted from the list. <br />a. The 2007 well abandonment reports include GVB- WD -1A. This hole is also listed on page 2.05 -44, and <br />on Map 9 as Identifier 078, but does not appear to be listed on pages 2.05 -45i through -x. Please <br />include the diameter and depth information for GVB -WD -1A on the list on page 2.05 -45i through x. <br />J <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http: / /mining.state.co.us I + <br />John W.
