Public Notice
<br />Bowie Resources Limited., P.O. Box 483, Paonia, CO, 81428, has submitted an
<br />application for a technical revision to the Division of Minerals and Geology for its Bowie
<br />No. 2 Mine, mining permit No. C-96-083. The proposed revision provides for a revision
<br />to the mine plan including mining on the west side of the fault, the west pod. Rock tunnels
<br />will be developed to access the west pod through the fault. The subsidence control plan
<br />will also be updated by this revision. All mining will be pertormed within Bowie Resources
<br />Limited's private coal reserve. This revision will not change the mining method nor will
<br />it increase the permitted production.
<br />All of the mine facilities except a pump station are located immediately north of old State
<br />Highway 133 near the town of Bowie, CO. The Fire Mountain Canal is located south of the
<br />mine facilities. The railroad and the North Fork of the Gunnison River are also located
<br />south of the mine facilities. The mine permit area is located on the U. S. Geological Survey
