Cattany <br />Division Direttor <br />FROM: /Joe Dudash Natural Resource trustee <br />RE: Bowie No. 2 Mine, Permit No. C-96-083, Bowie Resources Limited <br />Technical Revision No. 31, Mine Plan Changes, Adequacy Review <br />Bowie Resources Limited (BRL) has submitted responses to the Division's adequacy <br />review letter dated January 5, 2004. I am requesting your assistance in the review of their <br />responses to your adequacy review questions. Your questions aze numbered 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, <br />8, 9 and 10. <br />Since you were at the meeting with Jonathan (Jon) White of the Colorado Geological <br />Survey, you aze aware that he is reviewing the rockfall information for TR-31. However, <br />Sandy requested that you also review that material. As an immediate concern, Jon will be <br />concentrating on the rockfall potential and the design of the protection berm above the <br />uppermost facilities bench. That particulaz berm design and construction issue may be <br />pulled out of TR-31 and put into a separate minor revision. The longwall is being moved <br />and construction of that one berm needs to be started late this week or this coming <br />Monday. Otherwise, BRL may have to stop mining until TR-31 is issued. Jon said he <br />would get his memo concenvng that one berm design done by this Thursday. <br />Attached is one copy of BRL's responses. The decision due date for TR-31 is Mazch 31, <br />2004. I would appreciate it if I could get your responses back by March 19, 2004. If you <br />have the time this week and could look at the one berm design that Jon is also looking at, <br />that would be great also. If you need any other information, please let me know. Thanks <br />for your help! <br />Attachments <br />cc: Dan Hernandez (without attachments) <br />Sandy Brown (without attachments) <br />c:/word/bowie2/tr31 memo2 <br />Office of Office of Colorado <br />Mined Land Reclamation Active and inactive Mines Geological Survey <br />
