MANAGEMENT <br />Janet Binns <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining & Safety <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 RECEIVED <br />Re: Bowie Resources, LLC, Bowie No. 2 Mine APR 3 U 2019 <br />TR -118, Reduce size of gob pile #3 <br />Adequacy Review #1 UiYISIC ; i .= RECLAMATION <br />Permit C-1996-083 MINING AND SAFETY <br />Dear Ms. Binns: <br />DRMS' letter dated March 27, 2019 transmitted its adequacy review for the referenced <br />technical revision. On behalf of Bowie Resources, LLC, (BRL), follow are its responses to the <br />DRMS' comments and concerns. <br />1. The revised pages contain several typos and verb tense errors. Although these are <br />minor concerns, it is appropriate to correct these during this revision. <br />a) DRMS: Volume XI, page 1, second paragraph. The sentence; "Another active <br />coal mine water disposal area..." needs to be corrected to, "Another active coal <br />mine waste disposal area..." <br />BRL: Please see revised changes on Volume XI, page 1. <br />b) DRMS: Throughout the revised pages the text references future tense for the <br />construction of gob Pile No. 3. The pile currently exists but with TR118, the <br />previously approved design is being altered. Therefore, text that references "will <br />be" (4th paragraph, page 1), 2nd paragraph, page 4, "The first task of the <br />construction of the coal mine waste disposal area will be the modification of <br />Pond J..." this activity has occurred, so the verb tense should reflect that this <br />activity was in the past. The next two sentences in paragraph 2, page 4 also <br />need to be updated. The third paragraph, page 4 references anticipated topsoil <br />salvage volumes. This activity has occurred. Please update this paragraph with <br />actual topsoil salvage volumes and estimated dates. <br />
