<br />5 million tons per year (presumably in the year 2000). However, on proposed revised <br />Map 1 ~, `Mine Plan'; the second year production (presumably the year 1000), is stored <br />as being 2, 6-J5, 000 tons. Further, on proposed revised page 4 of Technical Revision No. <br />30 for the Bowie No. 1 Mine, the anticipated tonnage at the loadottt jor the year 1000 is <br />stated as being ~ million tons. Please reconcile these differences. <br />The Division has no further concerns. Text page 2.05-.1 has been revised to reflect the 5 <br />million tons per yeaz anticipated production. TR-30 has been withdrawn for the Bowie <br />No. 1 Mine and replaced with TR-32, which involves a production limit of ~ million tons <br />per year. Map 14 was not revised because the reserves in private coal may be less than 5 <br />million tons. The yearly production rate is a rate only and does not necessaril}~ reflect the <br />total available tonnage. <br />2a. The PHC and the Hydrologic Reclamation Plan presented with the revised text do not <br />adequately address the potential for perpetual discharge from the mine. The Hydrologic <br />Reclamation Plan states that no hydrologic reclamation plan is proposed for potential <br />mine discharge. The potential for discharge from the portals (once mining has ceased) <br />should be evaluated and included in the PHC portion of the revised text. <br />BRL has not responded to this question yet. Please provide a response. <br />25. Permanent entry seals are proposed for the mine portals. If a perpetual discharge <br />situutiot; arises, stow will mine discharge be conveyed front the mine? Please update the <br />Hydrologic Reclamation Plan to include additional detail on how the discharge (ijit <br />occurs) will be conveyed, handled, and treated prior [o discharge. <br />BRL has not responded to this question yet. Please provide a response. <br />28. There is an incomplete sentence at the start of paragraph two on proposed revised page <br />1.05-77. Please revise this page. <br />The Division has no further concerns. The submittal dated May 12, 1999 contained a <br />revised page 2.05-77 with the correction. <br />If you have any questions, please call me. <br />Sincerely, <br />sTbse' phvJ. ash <br />>~ °"~ <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />cc: Jim Stover P.E.
