Box 281 <br /> Paonia, CO 81428 <br /> Re: Bowie No. 1 Mine (Permit No. C-1981-038) <br /> Bond Release Application No. 7 (SL-7) <br /> Dear Mr. Morgan: <br /> This letter, in accordance with Rule 3.03.2(5)(a) of the Rules and Regulations of the Colorado <br /> Mined Land Reclamation Board for Coal Mining, is to inform you that the Division of <br /> Reclamation, Mining and Safety has issued a proposed decision to approve Bond Release <br /> Application No. 7 (SL-7) for the Bowie No. 1 Mine. This decision will be published in the Delta <br /> County Independent, as soon as possible. The first day following publication of the notice initiates <br /> a thirty (30) day public comment period. If, within thirty days, there are no requests for an <br /> adjudicatory hearing, the decision will become final. <br /> This bond release application pertains to the ROM Area of the mine site, including the pond. The <br /> SL-07 application included Phase III bond release on 10.72 acres (the entire ROM Area,including <br /> the pond and the entrance road) and a Phase II bond release on 0.51 acres (the pond within the <br /> ROM Area). The Division is not proposing to release 0.34 acres for the entrance road, and the <br /> resulting Phase III acreage is 10.38 acres (10.72 - 0.34). The road area was removed from <br /> consideration for bond release because the reclamation plan for Bowie No. 1 Mine does not clearly <br /> indicate that this shall be a permanent facility. As an interested party, you have the right to an <br /> adjudicatory hearing as outlined under Rule 3.032(6) of the Rules and Regulations. The request <br /> for an adjudicatory hearing must be written and state with specificity the reasons why the hearing <br /> is requested. The request must be received within thirty days of the day following the first <br /> publication of the proposed decision in the Delta County Independent. <br /> OF LOCO <br /> 1313 Sherman St. Room 215 Denver, CO 80203 P (303) 866-3567 F(303)832-8106 https://drms.colorado.gov <br /> I <br /> Jared Polis, Governor I Dan Gibbs, Executive Director I Virginia Brannon, Director * * <br /> 1876 <br />
