Re: Bowie Resources, LLC, Bowie No. 2 Mine
Technical Revision #98 Borrow Areas for Final Reclamation, Gob Pile #2
footprint increase and Pond D & F hydrology revision
Permit C- 1996 -083
Dear Mr. Musick:
On behalf of Bowie Resources, LLC, (BRL), enclosed is an application for a technical
revision to 1) incorporate three borrow areas around gob pile #2 that will be used during
reclamation of gob pile #2, 2) increase the footprint and storage capacity of gob pile #2,
and 3) revise the hydrology associated with Ponds D & F.
1) The first item in this revision application is in response to Stipulation No. 34 as
attached to the approval of Technical Revision No. 77. The requirements of the
stipulation are to address the following items for the borrow areas:
a) A topsoil salvage, storage and redistribution plan, in accordance with Rules
2.05.3(5), 2.05.4(2)(d) and 4.06.4(2)
Topsoil salvage, storage and redistribution has been addressed on page 8 of the
Volume IX text and Appendix A.
b) A regrading plan in accordance with Rules 4.14.1 and 4.14.2
The borrow areas are being created to generate material for final reclamation at
gob pile #2, and as such, the 'points' of the hillside are being graded to generate
material.
The area surrounding borrow area #1 has a natural slope of 1.5H. -1V to 3H-1V.
The final slope angle of borrow area #1 will be 2H-1V which falls within the
surrounding angle of repose.
The area surrounding borrow area #2 varies from 2H-1V to 4H-1V. The final
slope angle for borrow area #2 will be 2H: 1V which is within the natural angle of
repose of the surrounding area.
The area surrounding borrow area #3 varies from 0.8 H:1V to 2.8H-1V. The final
slope angle for borrow area #3 will be 1.5H-.1V which is within the natural angle
of repose of the surrounding area.
c) A revegetation plan in accordance with Rule 4.15.
