RE: Bowie No. 2 Mine, Permit No. C-96-083, Bowie Resources LLC
Technical Revision No. 45, New Coal Refuse Pile, Fourth Adequacy Review Letter
Dear Mr. Bear:
The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division) has finished its adequacy review of
Bowie Resources LLC's (BRL) recent submittals dated April 4, 2007 and May 8, 2007 for Technical
Revision No. 45 (TR-45). The submittals were in response to the Division's second adequacy review letter
dated December 4, 2006 and its third adequacy review letter dated February 26, 2007.
All but three of the Division's adequacy concerns have been resolved. Item number 3, the COOT permit,
item number 26, alternative land use, and item number 27, Bureau of Reclamation permit, still remain.
The following is the status of the Division's questions and comments:
Section 2.05.3(3), Mine Facilities
Construction ofgob pile no. 3 would bury the dirt road that runs past the orchard. Who is the
owner of this dirt road'?
The Division has no further concerns. 1n the January 3, 2007 submittal, BRL responded that they
own the road.
2. Map 1 S does not show any access roads leading to the proposed new Jopsail stockpile and
coverfill pile. How will these two stockpile areas be accessed"?
The Division has no further concerns. BRL added a new temporary road to the designs. In the
submittal dated January 3, 2007, BRL revised pages Exh-8-180vi, Exh-8-31 and 2.05-25. In the
April 4, 2007 submittal, BRL revised Map I S-3, Map 21-3 and Figure I.
3. Please provide written confirmation that the Colorado Department of Transportation (COOT)
approves of the construction of a conveyor system over old State Highway 133.
BRL is working with COOT to obtain the permit. Please provide a copy of the approved permit
when it becomes available.
4. Please provide copies ofthe air emissions permits required by the Colorado Air Quality Control
Division for the operations proposed in TR-d5.
