The revision was <br />submitted by Bowie Resources Limited. All review and comment periods as provided in the Act and the <br />Regulations initiate from this date of filing. <br />Approval of this technical revision would permit the construction of five methane de-gas wells along with their <br />associated light use roads and drill pads. The planned surface disturbance, which totals 4.4 acres, is located within <br />the approved permit boundary and on surface lands owned by Bowie Resources. One of the boreholes and its <br />associated 0.3 mile light use road are located above federal coal. The other four boreholes and their associated I.I <br />mile light use roads are located above coal owned by Bowie Resources. The operator does not anticipate using <br />exhaust pumps on the de-gas wells. The de-gas holes and their associated surface disturbancewill be reclaimed. <br />The underground coal mining operation is on land located approximately 5 miles northeast of Paonia, Colorado. <br />The permit area is furtherdescribed as follows: <br />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. <br />The above-mentioned tracts of land are shown on USGS 7.5 minute Quadrangle map of Bowie. <br />Pertinent sections of the technical revision are enclosed. <br />A copy of the technical revision application is available for public inspection at the Paonia Public Library, 140 <br />Grand Avenue, Paonia, CO and a[ [he Division office.
