The application was deemed complete on <br />May 26, 2017. <br /> <br />Bowie Resources, LLC (BRL) proposes a technical revision to allow Oxbow Mining, LLC (Oxbow <br />)to use the TC-03-01 pad to support Oxbow ’s coal methane recovery project. BRL and Oxbow <br />entered an agreement in 2015 which allows Oxbow to extract coal bed methane from the existing B <br />and D seam workings of the Bowie No. 2 Mine. The TC -03-01 pad has not yet been reclaimed by <br />BRL. Oxbow plans to use the pad to drill up to four seal removal holes into the the seal of the 1 <br />west mains in the Bowie No. 2 Mine. The seal removal holes will allow for pressure equalization <br />across the seals and enhance coal bed methane recovery. The application proposes no new surface <br />disturbance. The applicant is not proposing additional surface disturbance outside of the area <br />currently approved for disturbance. <br /> <br />Permit Revision (PR), Permit Renewal (RN), or Technical Revision (TR) application materials are <br />available for review at the Paonia Public Library, 2 3rd Street, Paonia, CO 81428 and at the <br />Division’s Denver office .
