Box 1488 <br />Paonia, CO 81428 <br />RE: Bowie No. 1 Mine, Permit No. C-1981-038 <br />4111 Quarter 2017 Pond Inspection Report Review <br />Dear Mr. Bear, <br />The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (the Division) received the 4th <br />Quarter 2017 Pond Inspection Report on January 9, 2018. The Division has completed <br />its review and found the report to be in compliance with the following Rules: <br />4.05.9(17) . All Impoundments are inspected quarterly, by a qualified person designated by the <br />operator, for the appearance of structural weakness and other hazardous conditions. The reports <br />are retained at the Bowie No. 2 Mine Office, and copies of the reports are submitted to the <br />Division on a quarterly basis. <br />The inspections of the ponds were conducted by Bowie Resources, LLC (BRL) on December 20, <br />2017. During August of 2017, six ponds at the Bowie No. 1 Mine were reclaimed. Binwall <br />Ponds 1 through 4, the Gob Pile Pond and the ROM Pile Pond were backfilled and regraded. <br />These reclaimed sites were stable. There are four ponds that remain at the Bowie No 1 Mine: the <br />Loadout Pond, the Highway Pond, the WM WS -1 Pond and WM WS -2 pond. The four ponds <br />were dry and had no indications of instability or erosion. The field inspections by the Division <br />reflect the information in the report by BRL. <br />This concludes the Division's review of the 4th Quarter 2017 Pond Inspection Report.
