Relocation of GVB-LW 10-02. <br />Deaz Mr. Stazk, <br />The purpose of this letter is to request Minor Revision 84 to the Oxbow Mining LLC Permit No. <br />C-1981-022. This MR provides for the relocation of one of the approved gob vent borehole <br />sites, GVB-LW 10-02, located on USFS managed lands. <br />This GVB site was previously approved by the Division under TR-57 and had intended to be <br />drilled as an angle borehole on the common pad with GVB-LW10-Ol. Due to problems with <br />obtaining an angle borehole contractor, Oxbow has chosen to drill the borehole from the current <br />light use road constructed for GVB-LW09-O1B. <br />Oxbow is still pursuing a contractor for completion of the GVB-LW 10-01 angle borehole from <br />the currently approved pad but due to steep terrain, our alternative options aze limited. <br />Oxbow has also communicated with the USFS regazding this modification and the USFS has <br />verbally indicated no particulaz issues with the proposed change. A copy of the USFS approval <br />documentation will be forwarded to the Division as soon as we receive it. <br />The modification is shown on the attached Drawing 2.05-MI, Sheet 6 of 6, "General Facilities, <br />Gob Vent Boreholes." In addition, we are submitting revised PAP pages Exhibit 2.04-E3, Item 9 <br />- Methane Drainage Well Information. <br />• Page 1 <br />
