<br />PUBUC NOTICE
<br />Bowie Resources LLC, P.O. Box
<br />1488,Peonia, CO, 81424 has sub-
<br />mitted an application for a partial
<br />bond release to the Division of
<br />Reclamation, Mining and Safety for
<br />its mining permit No. C- 1961 -038.
<br />The mining permit was initially ap
<br />proved on September 24, 1981 and'
<br />renewed on April 20, 2013. The cur-
<br />rent reclamation bond is $5,761,290
<br />and is in the form of three corpo-
<br />rate surety bonds. This permit ac-
<br />tion will release about $25o,000
<br />from the reclamation bond. The
<br />area for which partial bond release
<br />is being requested is at the Bowie
<br />No. 1, East and West Mines.
<br />During the period 2000 through
<br />2002, a portion of the West mine
<br />was returned to approximate origi-
<br />nal contours and seeded. During
<br />2008, the Timber Storage Area
<br />located at the East mine was re-
<br />turned to AOC and seeded.
<br />During the ensuing years the veg-
<br />etation has flourished. Based on a
<br />vegetation evaluation performed
<br />during June 2013, a demonstration
<br />was made that untreated drainage
<br />from the reclaimed areas da not
<br />contribute additional suspended
<br />solids above natural conditions.
<br />The vegetation study concludes the
<br />area sampled appears to be more
<br />than capable of supporting post -
<br />mining land uses.
<br />The 13 -8 acres eligible for phase Ii
<br />bond release and the 0.45 acres eli-
<br />gible for phase 1 bond release at the
<br />West mine are located in the NW14
<br />afitf'the EI MNE14 of Seohan 28,
<br />and tha'SW14$W/4.of Section 14,
<br />Township 13 South Range 92 West,

<br />phase 11 bond release at the Timber
<br />Storage Area are located in the
