1/11/2018 State.co.us Executive Branch Mail-Fwd:Bowie Loadout Reclamation <br /> This letter is a comment about and objection to the above application for renewal. The application <br /> does not give any of the information required to rake an analysis of the reclamation plan, <br /> timetable or Reclamation Cost Estimate ( C ) for Bowie ##1 m This letter also serves as a formal <br /> request for information not included in the application (the application was reviewed by me at the <br /> soma Public Library, 2 3rd Street, Paonia, CO 6126 as the public notice suggested). <br /> Per the application: ,Each applicationor permit renewal must provider ri to <br /> information whis i i l►y addresses each of the following re ire nts .The narrative <br /> shouldescri conditions which have been encounteredduring the previouspermit <br /> term and analyze how those conditions compare with those anticipated in the original <br /> permit ►ic i n. These narrativesi as revise pages". <br /> The information categories where the narratives and reps are referenced are only a listing of what <br /> the renewal application should have supplied in detail—and so I have no information which can be <br /> reviewed. <br /> I am attaching a copy of the only reclamation plan for the Old Load Out area I have been able to <br /> find under the original permit number. The only RCE I have available was done in February 21 <br /> and should have been updated in 2017 (1 have attached a summary to show the line items® <br /> although I have reviewed the detail).The detail in the RCE does not address some of areas I <br /> consider critical. In particular I want to see a specific reclamation plan for the Farmers Ditch, the <br /> Black Bridge Road realignment (in particular the metal plated undercrossing), the trestle bridge <br /> across the North Fork of the Gunnison, the removal of the 46,000 volt overhead line between <br /> Steven's Gulch and the sub-station at the Old Load Out, the clean® u /grading of the old rail beds, <br /> and the cleanup and back filling of the remaining sediment ponds. The original reclamation plan I <br /> have is vague on each of these issues. They are of particular importance to the property owners <br /> within 1000 feet of the Old Lead Out site on Highway 133 and the Steven's Gulch metering point. <br /> I write as one of the affected property owners who are concerned but want to work with Bowie to <br /> develop a reasonable reclamation plan and timetable for implementation with as low a cost to <br /> Bowie as is feasible. Once we have more information on what reclamation Bowie has specifically <br /> performed already and what is specifically planned during the renewal period of 5 years starting <br /> February 2013, 1 will review and comment® At this time I am also requesting an informal hearing <br /> once the information has been supplied. <br /> Thank you. <br /> Judith Martin <br /> 15990 Farmers Mine Road, Paonia, CO 81428 <br /> https://mail.google.com/mail/b/AB-RiwIND9kfe7R8ns9P8FYGLbAgt84zuLipLzMXCMGzLyc2svUY/u/O/?ui=2&ik=deb7fOcd20&jsver=pkG7biCEwPU.en.... 2/2 <br />
