5/15/17 <br />6. 1 am trying to track what the dates and initials on various pages signify— <br />a. Were the requirements more detailed when Bowie asked for renewals or expansion of <br />the permits? <br />b. Were these sign offs by DRMS on new or more detailed requirements as Bowie applied <br />for renewals of the permits? (2001, 2004, 2010 are some of the years at the bottom of <br />various pages) —some say "approved" with a date? <br />Based on operational conditions and other factors, a mine operator can apply for a revision <br />to their permit. These revisions are reviewed by the Division to ensure they meet the <br />requirements of the Rules. In addition to these revisions, the operator must renew their <br />permit every five years. The notation/date you see on the bottom of some pages is the <br />revision number that changed some portion of that page and the date it was approved. This <br />is done to aid in tracking changes in the permit document. <br />7. When did the bond and reclamation requirements shift to Bowie Resources? (Did Bowie buy <br />Westmoreland assuming it's liabilities for maintaining the bond?) <br />I will need to look up the exact dates for the permit transfer. However, when a new operator <br />takes over a site they must follow all of the requirements of the permit. <br />8. The areas around the East Mine and West Mine are very detailed as to what needs to be done <br />to meet reclamation requirements. Without maps though, it isn't clear what relates in <br />particular to the Steven's Gulch parcel to be sold after change of use. What, if any, of the East <br />Mine area is still left to be reclaimed? <br />I will need to have the specialist in charge of this site look up this information. He will be back <br />from the field on Monday. <br />9. Once the Steven's Gulch parcels and the Load Out are sold, are there any other relevant land <br />holdings left to be reclaimed under the bond requirement. <br />I will need to have the specialist in charge of this site look up this information. He will be back <br />from the field on Monday. <br />10. The water tank referred to as being in place in 2004 is required for Pitkin Mesa Pipeline—the <br />reclamation can't be complete unless "alternative arrangements are made for Pitkin Mesa <br />Pipeline and power supply". Does any of this affect Steven's Gulch property? <br />I will need to have the specialist in charge of this site look up this information. He will be back <br />from the field on Monday. <br />11. Does the BLM controlled Road (previously maintained by Bowie until 11/6/06) affect the <br />Steven's Gulch parcels? <br />I will need to have the specialist in charge of this site look up this information. He will be back <br />from the field on Monday. <br />12. Is there any R -O -M coal still near or close to the Steven's Gulch property to be sold? <br />Questions on Bowie 1 reclamation requirements <br />
