From: Jim Stover To: DMG Date: 10/10100 Time: 7: t0:38 PM Page 2 of 2 <br />_ ' • • <br />David Berry - 2 - October 10, 2D00 <br />BRL performed a water depletion analysis as part of permit revision PR-03 late in1999. <br />The water depletion estimate is based upon longwall mining at the rate of 5.0 million tons <br />per year. The water depletion estimate is located in Volume i of the permit beginning on <br />page 2.04-56. The estimated annual depletion is 236.6 acre-feet. The FWS prepared a <br />Biological Opinion dated December 10, 1999. This document is located in Volume III of <br />the permit atTab 9. <br />There will be no change in the water consumption at the Bowie No. 2 Mine as a result of <br />the approval of TR-018. Mining methods and production remain the same (longwall and <br />5.0 mm tons per year) and the basis for the water depletion estimate remains valid. <br />Please call if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />J.
