The revision <br />was called complete on January 30, 2004. The decision due date is March 30, 2004. <br />In Technical Revision No.43, Bowie Resources is proposing to revise the road reclamation plan at the <br />West Mine, based on the written request of the Bureau of Land Management. The road leading from the <br />Steven's Gulch road to the former main gate at the West Mine would remain as is. Also, the upper <br />segment of the Old East roatcap Creek road would not be connected to the " Blough road". Finally, the <br />Stevens's Gulch allotment stock trail will connect the lower segment of the old East Roatcap Creek road <br />to the "Blough road" when the West Mine sediment ponds are reclaimed. <br />In Technical Revision No. 43, the operator is also proposing to bring the compaction standard at the <br />Bowie No. 1 Mine in line with that at the Bowie No. 2 Mine. <br />This revision is available for review at the Paonia Public Library, 140 Grand Avenue, Paonia, CO 81428. <br />If you have any questions, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />seph J.
