Re: Bowie No. 2 Mine (Permit No. C-1996-083), Technical Revision Application No. 16 (TR-16)
Incidental Boundary Change
Dear Sir or Madam:
The Division of Minerals and Geology hereby issues notice, in accordance with Title 34, Article 33, Section 1 16,
Paragraph 4, of the Colorado Revised Statutes, that on June 19, 2000, an application to revise coal mining
operations at the Bowie No. 2 Mine was considered complete for the purposes of filing. The revision was
submitted by Bowie Resources Limited. All review and comment periods as provided in the Act and the
Regulations initiate from this date of filing.
Approval of this technical revision would permit an incidental boundary change in order to conduct development
mining in federal coal. This technical revision can not be approved until Bowie Resources has secured Federal
Coal Lease COC-61209 for the right of entry to that federal coal. The incidental boundary change would add 169
acres of private surface and 130 acres of federal surface to the northern portion of the permit area. All of the coal
to be mined is federal. There would not be any increase in the disturbance area, no additional facilities would be
built and there would not be any increase in production through this revision.
The underground coal mining operation is on land located approximately 5 miles northeast of Paonia, Colorado.
The permit area is further described as follows:
Portions of Sections 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 1 1, 14, 15, and 16, Township 13 South, Range 91 West of the 6th P.M.
The above-mentioned tracts of land are shown on USGS 7.5 minute Quadrangle map of Bowie.
The technical revision cover letterand a map are enclosed. Please advise us ifyou need additional information.
A copy of the technical revision application is available for public inspection at the Paonia Public Library, 140
Grand Avenue, Paonia, CO and at the Division office. For additional information or to provide written comments,
contact the Division of lvtinerals and Geology, Room 215, 1313 Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado 80203,
[phone]. In order for us to comply with regulatory time frames, we request that comments be submitted
within fifteen (I S) days of this letter. If no comments are received by then, we will proceed on the assumption that
you have no concerns with, or objections to, the applicant's proposal.
Sincerely,
