The information had been requested by the Division at the conclusion of <br />the October 26, 2004 joint field inspection of the sediment ponds at the Bowie No. 2 Mine. <br />Your agency's concerns have been noted and the Division is working with Bowie Resources LLC (BRL) <br />to resolve these issues. Since receipt of your letter, the Division has met with BRL officials on two field <br />inspections, one on November 18, 2004 and again on December 7, 2004; as well as communicated by <br />telephone to discuss the issues. <br />However, because there have not been any formal presentations to the Division by BRL, no specifics are <br />available at this time to include with this letter. Please be advised that as soon as BRL formulates a specific <br />plan of action, your agency will be brought up to date. <br />If you have any questions or need additional information, please call me. <br />Sincerely, <br />sep J. ash <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />cc: William Bear (Bowie Resources LLC) <br />Jim Stover P.E.
