Box 1488 <br />Paonia, CO 81428 <br />RE: Bowie No. 2 Mine, Permit No. C- 1996 -083 <br />Technical Revision No. 98 (TR -98) <br />Preliminary Adequacy Review <br />Dear Mr. Bear, <br />The Division received Bowie Resources, LLC's (BRL's) application for a technical revision (TR -98) on <br />January 30, 2015. The application was determined to be complete on February 9, 2015. One comment <br />letter has been received from the Colorado State Historic Preservation Officer stating that a finding of no <br />historic properties affected is appropriate for the proposed action. The Colorado Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining, and Safety has completed its preliminary adequacy review of the proposed technical revision. <br />Please respond to the following comments or concerns as necessary: <br />Approved page 4A in Volume IX provides a map titled Gob Pile Revisions with each portion of Gob <br />Pile #2 delineated with the revision number. This page was not included in the proposed revised <br />text associated with TR -98. Please revise page 4A of Exhibit IX to include the areas associated <br />with TR -98. <br />2. Proposed Volume IX, Gob Pile #2, Appendix A, identifies 74,346 cy of salvaged topsoil. This <br />number does not include the 2,339 cy of topsoil proposed to be salvaged from the proposed <br />Borrow Areas 1, 2, and 3. Please revise the total amount of topsoil to be salvaged to reflect <br />the topsoil salvaged from the proposed borrow areas. <br />3. Proposed Volume IX, Gob Pile #2, Appendix A includes a line item of, "Topsoil Salvage in Borrow <br />Areas." Based on the proposed text, the Division understands that the topsoil salvaged from the <br />proposed borrow areas will be incorporated into Topsoil Stockpile E. If this remains the case, <br />please revise Appendix A to add a statement that the topsoil salvage in borrow areas will be <br />stockpiled at Pile E. <br />OF C Qlp <br />I a O <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.
