Memo to Dave Berry <br />Bowie No. 2 Geotechnical Adequacy Responses <br />page 6 <br />The Division is aware that BRL considers time to be of the <br />essence in initiating development of the site. The Division <br />cautions BRL that permit issuance cannot occur until a BRL has <br />demonstrated that the mine site can be acceptably reclaimed. <br />No partial approval will be granted until this critical <br />demonstration has been completed. The demonstration of long <br />term geotechnical stability of the proposed reclaimed <br />configuration of the surface facilities will have to be <br />thoroughly analyzed. Specific stability analyses will have to be <br />prepared for representative proposed reclaimed cut and fill <br />situations, including haul roads, conveyor corridors, and various <br />facility benches, etc. Appropriate material properties will have <br />to be selected and justified for the anticipated reclaimed site <br />characteristics. The Division anticipates that this task will be <br />entailed and time consuming. <br />87. BRL's response and the amended wording of pages 2.05 - 91 -and 2.05 - <br />92 -are acceptable. <br />88. BRL's response and the amended wording of page 2.05 - 89 - is acceptable. <br />89. BRL's response and the amended wording of pages 2.05 - 89 -through <br />2.05 - 93 -are acceptable. <br />90. The Division is in receipt of the copy of T. Brooks 1983 USGS report. <br />EXHIBIT 15 -SUBSIDENCE PREDICTION <br />1.2 MINING SCHEDULE AND RATE OF SUBSIDENCE <br />Paragraph 1 <br />The new Section 1.8 added to Exhibit 15 acceptably addresses the <br />Division's concern regarding the possible subsidence implications of <br />faults within the mine plan area. <br />
