Box 1488 <br /> Paonia, CO 81428 <br /> Re: Bowie No. 2 Mine,Permit C-1996-083, <br /> Review of 2018 Annual Hydrology Report <br /> Dear Mr. Bear: <br /> The Division received the 2018 AHR for the Bowie No. 2 Mine on May 14, 2019. The Division <br /> reviewed this AHR in the context of Rules 4.05.1, 4.05.614.05.11, and 4.05.13 (Regulations of the <br /> Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for Coal Mining). <br /> Table 1 lists important logistical requirements of the Bowie No. 2 Mine water monitoring plan, and <br /> indicates if the requirement was met with the 2018 AHR. <br /> Table 1 Requirements of the Bowie No. 2 Mine Water Monitoring Plan <br /> Requirement Source of Requirement Requirement met <br /> (Rule or Page in PAP) for 2018? <br /> Filing frequency of AHR-annually Rule 4.05.13(4)(c) Yes <br /> Timely filing of hydrology report—submitted by Section 2.05 of the Bowie No. 2 No' <br /> April 3 0th each year Mine PAP,page 136 <br /> Sites sampled and sampling frequency at surface Section 2.05 of PAP,pages 124- No <br /> water monitoring sites 131 <br /> Parameters sampled at surface water monitoring sites Section 2.05 of PAP,page 135 No <br /> Sites sampled and sampling frequency at Section 2.05 of PAP,pages 124- No <br /> Groundwater monitoring sites 131 <br /> Parameters sampled at groundwater monitoring sites Section 2.05 of PAP,page 134 Yes <br /> 1. The submittal was late,but this had been agreed upon with the Division, and it was only two weeks late. <br /> It is not clear to the Division why some ponds and drill holes were not monitored. Comparing the <br /> Hydrologic Monitoring Plan of the PAP to the sites included in the 2018 AHR,it appears that the <br /> following locations were omitted from data in the AHR: Ponds 36-3 and 36-6; Drill Holes 15,25, <br /> 34B, and 38. Please explain. <br /> .OF'Cpl\ <br /> 0 <br /> 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http://mining.state.co.us <br /> Jared S.
