Walrher <br />Execuuve Director <br />~~6chael 0. Long <br />Diviswn Direclo~ <br />Change, Bowie No. 2 <br />I am requesting your assistance in the geo-technical adequacy review of PR-O5. Bowie <br />Resources Limited (BRL) is proposing to add 560 acres to the west side of the present permit <br />boundazy and to go to longwall mining in the southwest portion of the permit azea. With this <br />revision, BRL is also proposing to add a gob de-gas hole and its associated access road into the <br />permit azea. <br />All of the proposed mining changes lie to the west of a fault trace, shown on the mine plan map, <br />Map-14, submitted with PR-O5. Currently, BRL has an approved plan to do room and pillar <br />mining west of the fault trace. With PR-O5, BRL is proposing to change this mining to longwall <br />mining. In addition, BRL wants to expand the permit boundary to the west and to mine that coal <br />using the longwall mining method as well. Of special concern is that the mining will come close <br />to Terror Creek and to a major power line that lies just to the west of Terror Creek. <br />Attached is one complete copy of the submittal. I have included a copy of the approved mine <br />plan map, Map-14, to show the approved room and pillar mining west of the fault trace. I have <br />also included a copy of the approved surface ownership map, Map-O1, which shows the location <br />of the power line. BRL failed to show this power line location on their mine plan map. <br />If you have any questions, please let me know. The adequacy review letter for PR-OS is due Jul y <br />30, 2001, but if I could get your responses by July 26, that will give me time to put the adequacy <br />letter together. Thanks for your assistance. <br />Attachments <br />cc: Sandy Brown (without attachments) <br />Dan Hernandez (without attachments) <br />c:\ms97\bowie2\pr5 memo4 <br />
