It was submitted from the following page: http://www.citizensforahealthycommunity.org/bowie-coal- <br />gas if ication-plan L -proposal -comment <br />Please checlk -the (box IDear Director IBirannon, <br />lbellow !if you agree -to -the <br />follllowiiin Iletteir. A check iin It has corne to my attention that lBowiie Resources, (JLC is proposing to turn their <br />-the (box !is required iiin order current Bowie No.. 2 coat mining site into a coat gasification plant. t allso <br />to sulbinnit -the -form -to -the understand that the technology being proposed its experimental) and "patent <br />IB IL M. pending". <br />(Bowie Resources its proposing to malke a significant change to its current mining <br />permit (Permit No. C.-1996.-083) through a "routine" technical) reviisiion applliication <br />(TIR.-110).. lBowie appears to be Iproposiing to construct what amounts to an oil) <br />refinery and possiblly a new power plant. lBowiie's proposal) is to construct a coat <br />gasification facility on iits lBowiie INo.. 2 coat mine site. <br />As stated iin the company's application, the facility, known as a "1DAX101M Plant," <br />11 wilt be used to convert coat mine waste to synthetic gas which its then used either <br />to generate electricat power or diesel/fuet oil.." The project proposal) envisions fiive <br />coat gasification uniits operating 24 hours, a day, and each capable of processing <br />of 72 tons per day of coat mine waste.. 'The plant would be built where the lBowiie <br />92 Mine's Glean coat stockpile resides, after that stockpile its depleted. <br />Such a facility would represent a dirarnatic change within Bowie's permit boundary, <br />potentially turning a coat irrniniing operation into a hydrocarbon refinery facility. A <br />refinery is a very intensive, complicated, iriislky endeavor and at the end of the day <br />it's a very different operation'from coat mining. This is NOT aTechnicat <br />Revision. What's more, there appears to be little to no information demonstrating <br />that IBowiie wilt effectiivelly protect public Iheallth and the environment consistent <br />with Colorado coat mining regulations. <br />II am pairticulady concerned over the impacts that the proposal) wilt have on water <br />and air quality, access to public (lands and waters, fish and wildlife, on Ipulbllic <br />lands iin the area, and on t1he agrarian character and quality of lliife of t1he North <br />IFork Valley. t respectfully request that IDIRIMS require Bonnie Resources, ILLC to <br />submit the appropriate Permit Revision application and Iholld a public Iheariing on <br />the proposed plant. <br />hftps:llmail.google.com/mail/b/5ll/ul0/?ui=2&ik=deb7fOcd2O&view=pt&search=inbox&th= 158fe95cO27d9a83&siml= 158fe95cO27d9a83 1/2 <br />
