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 allow a change in the mine plan for the Bowie No. 2 Mine. The change <br />would permit longwall mining and an increase in production from 2 million tones per year to 5 million tones per <br />year. The proposed mining change would still be in the current permit boundary and still involve only private <br />surface and fee coal. <br />The underground coal mining operation is on land located approximately 5 miles northeast of Paonia, Colorado. <br />The permit area is further described as follows: <br />Portions of Sections 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11. 14, 15, and 16, Township 13 South, Range 91 West of the 6th P.M. <br />The above-mentioned trac[s of land are shown on USGS 7.5 minute Quadrangle map of Bowie. <br />A copy of the technical revision application is available for public inspection at the Delta Counry Courthouse, 5th <br />& Palmer, Delta, CO 81416, and at the Division office.
