Basil Bear, BRL <br />C-1981-038 / SL -05 / 2nd Adequacy Review <br />17 -Mar -2015 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />not applying for Phase III bond release, the following items should be addressed for <br />consistency and accuracy: <br />DRMS 03/16: The application was revised, as requested, in response to subparts a, b and <br />c. This item has been satisfactorily addressed. <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 <br />acres for Phase I release. <br />a. Please revise the SL -05 application to request no more than 13.1 acres for Phase <br />II release at the West Mine. <br />b. The Phase II area outlined for SL -05 (Figure 1) does not appear to correlate with <br />the Phase I bond release area approved for SL -02 (Figure 1 of that application, <br />dated 1/20/2004). Please revise the SL -05 Phase II map for the West Mine to <br />exclude any areas for which Phase I release was not requested and granted under <br />SL -02.. <br />4. DRMS 03/16 (New): The Division has conducted a thorough review of the Reclamation <br />Cost Estimate (RCE) for the Bowie No. 1 Mine. A March 16, 2015 memo, prepared by <br />Susan Burgmaier of the Division, is attached for your review and comment. A full copy <br />of the updated Reclamation Cost Estimate is also provided. <br />This concludes the Division's second preliminary adequacy review of the SL -05 application. <br />Please respond at your earliest convenience. The Decision Date has been extended to March 31, <br />2015. <br />Best regards, <br />Marcia L.
