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 Response 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 completed its preliminary adequacy review of the proposed technical revision in a <br />letter dated March 11, 2015. BRL responded to the Division's Preliminary Adequacy Review with <br />information received on April 30, 2015. <br />1. Division Initial Comment (3/11/2015): Approved page 4A in Volume IX provides a map titled <br />Gob Pile Revisions with each portion of Gob Pile #2 delineated with the revision number. This <br />page was not included in the proposed revised text associated with TR -98. Please revise page 4A <br />of Exhibit IX to include the areas associated with TR -98. <br />BRL Response: Please see revised Page 4A. <br />Division Response: Proposed page 4A was revised to include the areas associated with TR -98. <br />This item has been adequately addressed. <br />2. Division Initial Comment (3/11/2015): Proposed Volume IX, Gob Pile #2, Appendix A, identifies <br />74,346 cy of salvaged topsoil. This number does not include the 2,339 cy of topsoil proposed to <br />be salvaged from the proposed Borrow Areas 1, 2, and 3. Please revise the total amount of <br />topsoil to be salvaged to reflect the topsoil salvaged from the proposed borrow areas. <br />OF CQlp <br />tL' i <br />I � <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http://mining.state.co.us <br />John W.
