Natural Resource rn,stee <br />Technical Revision No. 35, B Seam Mine Plan, Adequacy Review <br />I am requesting your assistance in the adequacy review of Technical Revision No. 35 (TR-35) for the <br />Bowie No. 2 Mine, submitted by Bowie Resources Limited (BRL). In TR-35, BRL is proposing to <br />modify the currently approved B seam mine plan. I would like you to review the subsidence related <br />aspects of the modified plan. <br />The stated intention of BRL in submitting this revision was to comply with Stipulation No. 18. As you <br />know, BRL constructed a rock catchment berm above their Bowie No. 2 Mine facilities in order to <br />protect the facilities from a potential subsidence-induced rockfall from the mining of the D coal seam. <br />At that time, the Division required BRL to conduct an additional study of the potential rockfall <br />situation before they mined two additional longwall panels, designated WB-1 and WB-2, in the coal <br />seam below the D seam, namely, the B coal seam. The requirement for this additional study was stated <br />in Stipulation No. 18 and TR-35 is the result of that additional analysis. Jon White of the Colorado <br />Geological Survey (CGS) is working on the potential subsidence-induced rockfall issue of TR-35. <br />However, BRL also modified the B seam mine plan to include major changes. Panel orientation in the <br />north has been changed 90 degrees and extended further to the north. Also, new development mains <br />have been added on the west side of the mine site, presumably for future access to the coal that is west <br />of Terror Creek. Please review this new B seam mine plan for any issues concerning subsidence. <br />Attached is one complete copy of the submittal. I have also included the currently approved Map 14 (D <br />Seam Mine Plan), Map 14-B (B Seam Mine Plan), Map 27 (Subsidence) and Map 27-B (Subsidence <br />Monitoring). I think it would be a good idea for you and me to discuss this revision before you begin. <br />I will be calling TR-35 complete sometime next week. I have not heazd from BRL yet as to their <br />schedule but I will let you know when I find out. If there is any additional information that you need, <br />please let me know. Thanks for your help! <br />Attachments <br />cc: Sandy Brown (without attachments) <br />Dan Hernandez (without attachments) <br />c:/word/bowie2Jtr3 Smemo 1 <br />Office of Office of Colorado <br />Mined Land Reclamation Active and Inactive Mines Geological Survey <br />
