Permit Renewal Adequacy #3
Permit C-1981-038
Dear Mr. Wein:
CIVIL ENGINEERING
CONST. MANAGEMENT
The DMRS' letter dated March 19, 2018 transmitted its third adequacy review for the Bowie No. 1
Mine's permit renewal. On behalf of Bowie Resources LLC, following are its responses to the DRMS'
comments and concerns.
Rule 2.05.4 - Reclamation Plan:
14. DRMS — Item 9 of the Reclamation Plan. The text references a metering point located to the
north of the Fire Mountain Canal, the Division assumes that this is the metering point along
Stevens Gulch. The text is unclear if this metering point will be included in the reclamation of
the power poles, cross arms, insulators and conductor. Please include text verifying that the
metering point will be included along with these activities.
BRL—The metering point will be removed from site. See amended page 2-05-24.
Rule 2.05.5 - Post Mining Land Uses
11. DRMS - Page 2.05-33, first paragraph, last sentence. "It is unclear how these regulations
would impact the County's approval of post mining land uses." Please remove this sentence
from the paragraph. The text in the paragraph will adequately address the Division's
adequacy item no. 11 without the need for the sentence mentioned above.
BRL—The referenced sentence was removed. See revised page 2.05-33 is enclosed.
Sincerely,
J. E. Stover
