Walther <br />Executive Director <br />Ronald W. Cattany <br />Division Director <br />The Division of Minerals and Geology has received a revision for the Bowie No- 2 Mine. The revision <br />was called complete on March 10, 2003. <br />In Permit Revision No. 8, Bowie Resources Limited (BRL) is proposing a mine plan in the B-seam <br />coal for a term of about five yeazs. The proposed mining is in both private coal and in federal coal <br />managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The right to enter into the B-seam federal coal was <br />previously approved through Federal Coal Lease COC-61209. The surface above the proposed coal to <br />be mined is owned or managed by BRL, the Bureau of Land Management and the USDA Forest <br />Service. All of the proposed mining is within the currently approved permit boundary. Development <br />mining in the B-seam is proposed to start in 2003 and longwall mining would begin only after the <br />current mining in the D-seam is completed. No increase in the coal mining production rate or water <br />usage at the mine is proposed in this revision. <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 />~~ <br />J eph J.
