Box 1488 <br />Paonia, CO 81428 <br />RE: Bowie No. 2 Mine, Permit No. C-1996-083 <br />Technical Revision No. 104 (TR -104) <br />Preliminary Adequacy Review <br />Dear Mr. Bear, <br />The Division received Bowie Resources, LLC's (BRL's) application for a technical revision (TR -104) on <br />August 4, 2015. The application was determined to be complete on August 11, 2015. One comment <br />letter has been received for the proposed action from the Colorado State Historic Preservation Officer <br />(SHPO) stating that it is the opinion of the SHPO that a finding of no historic properties affected is <br />appropriate for the proposed action in TR -104. The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety <br />has completed its preliminary adequacy review of the proposed technical revision. Please respond to the <br />following comments or concerns as necessary: <br />The TR -104 application BRL included proposed revised pages 2.05-45i through 45x. These pages <br />identify and update the status of underground openings, methane drainage wells, exploration <br />holes, wells, shafts and portals. A number of these openings are associated with bond release <br />no. 1 (SL -1) and were inspected by the Division during the week of August 3, 2015. After review <br />by the Division, the Division included a table in the August 3, 2015 inspection report that <br />outlined the status of each location. A portion of the information included in the Division's table <br />should be included in the proposed pages. Below is a copy of the sites associated with SL -1 for <br />reference. Due to the requirement for the Division to inspect any of the drill sites to <br />determine if the sites meet Rule 4.05.2(2), the date when a site was inspected by the <br />Division should be included. In addition, due to the fact that SL -1 has not been approved, <br />the vegetation status of a number of the sites could be revised to read, bond release status <br />or bond release status applied for. <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.
