On behalf of Bowie Resources, LLC, (BRL) following are its responses to <br />the DRMS' comments and concerns. <br />1. No response required. <br />2. No response required. <br />3. DRMS 03/16 (New): Phase II bond release for 13.8 acres at the West Mine has been <br />requested. However, with SL -02, BRL requested and the Division approved only 13.1 acres <br />for Phase I release. <br />a. Please revise the SL -05 application to request no more than 13.1 acres for Phase II <br />release at the West Mine. <br />BRL - Attached is the first page of the bond release application. The Phase II bond <br />release acreage in item 7 was reduced from 24.0 acres to 23.3 acres. <br />b. The Phase II area outlined for SL -05 (Figure 1) does not appear to correlate with the <br />Phase I bond release area approved for SL -02 (Figure 1 of that application, dated <br />1/20/2004). Please revise the SL -05 Phase II map for the West Mine to exclude any <br />areas for which Phase I release was not requested and granted under SL -02. <br />
