MANAGEMENT <br />The DRMS' letter dated March 9, 2015 requested additional information. On behalf of <br />Bowie Resources, LLC, enclosed is the revised data. <br />Note about adequacy response: Borrow area #3 will no longer be utilized for final <br />reclamation. The upper diversion ditch was constructed at a slightly different location <br />on the hillside than the design called for, which makes usage of #3 no longer feasible. <br />Instead, a new borrow area will be created in the footprint of the current coven%// <br />stockpile that is north and east of Pond F. Review of Map -17 indicates that the current <br />stockpile location was situated between two ridges. Upon removal of the coven%// from <br />stockpile, this area will be developed for final reclamation purposes and graded to a <br />2H.•1 V slope angle. Approximately 52,000 CY of cover will be generated from this <br />location. With such a large volume of cover%/// to be generated in this new area, borrow <br />area #1 will no longer be necessary. Borrow areas #1 and #3 as they were initially <br />proposed, will be removed from consideration with this adequacy response. Anew <br />borrow area #1 will be in the footprint of the existing coven%// stockpile. Borrow area <br />#2 as originally proposed will continue to be part of the reclamation plans <br />1. DRMS: Approved page 4A in Volume IX provides a map titled Gob Pile <br />Revisions with each portion of Gob Pile #2 delineated with the revision <br />number. This page was not included in the proposed revised text <br />associated with TR -98. Please revise page 4A of Exhibit IX to <br />include the areas associated with TR -98. <br />BRL: Please see revised Page 4A. <br />
