Stover and Associates <br />2768 Compass Drive, Suite 101 <br />Grand Junction, CO 81506 <br />Re: Bowie No.2 Mine - New Permit Application - C-96-083 <br />Dear Mr. Stover: <br />~~ <br />DENARTMENT OF <br />NATURAL <br />RESOURCES <br />Roy Romer <br />Governor <br />James 5. Eochhead <br />Executive Direcor <br />Michael 8. Long <br />Division Director <br />We have reviewed all materials submitted to date regarding the <br />above-referenced permit application. Nearly all of the previously <br />identified adequacy concerns have been resolved, with the <br />exceptions noted in our review letter dated December 27, 1996. We <br />believe that the pending issues can and will be resolved in the <br />near future, and we anticipate that a proposed decision to approve <br />the application will occur during January or early February of next <br />year. <br />The most substantive issues which remain to be resolved involve a <br />showing that the operational and reclaimed site configurations will <br />be geotechnically stable. We understand that additional materials <br />will be submitted soon. Based upon the discussions during our <br />meeting of December 5, 1997, we anticipate that Bowie Resources <br />Limited can effectively address the pending issues. We will <br />endeavor to review the pending materials as expeditiously as <br />possible, to determine whether we can proceed with an approval <br />decision. <br />Your cooperation and diligence throughout the review process have <br />been very much appreciated. Please call with any questions, or if <br />we can be of any assistance. <br />Si~ely~; <br />-----... <br />David <br />nvironmental Protection Specialist <br />
