Box 1612 <br />Paonia, CO 81438 <br />RE: Technical Revisions Nos. 6 and 7, Bowie No. Z Mine, Bowie Resources Ltd., <br />Technical Revision No. 30, Bowie No. 1 Mine, Bowie Resources Ltd. <br />Dear Mr. Hinchman: <br />This letter is to inform you, as a person who commented on the above-mentioned technical revisions, <br />that there has been a change in the submittal of this information. For the Bowie No. 2 Mine, Bowie <br />Resources has withdrawn Technical Revision No. 6, which involved the installation of a downhill <br />conveyor, coal stockpile and truck loadout and the relocation of a sedimentation pond and Technical <br />Revision No. 7, which involved the change in the mine plan to go to longwall mining with an <br />increase in production from 2 million tons per year to 5 million tons per year. For the Bowie No. 1 <br />Mine, Bowie Resources also has withdrawn Technical Revision No. 30, which concerned an increase <br />in production at the railroad loadout from 2 million tons per year to 5 million tons per year. <br />In place of the withdrawn Technical Revisions Nos. 6 and 7, Bowie Resources will resubmit the <br />information under one permit revision. The company and the Division chose to combine these hvo <br />permitting actions into one revision, in part, to accommodate the wishes of individuals such as <br />yourself, who have indicated a desire to meet with the Division to discuss the proposed mine plans. <br />Technical Revision No. 30 will be submitted at a later time, again, as a technical revision. Technical <br />Revision No. 30 can not be submitted under the forthcoming Bowie No. 2 Mine permit revision since <br />it involves the Bowie No. 1 Mine and, therefore, has a different permit number. <br />Bowie Resources has indicated that they will be submitting the Bowie No. 2 permit revision very <br />soon. At that time, the company will publish notice of their application in the Deltcr Co:rnry <br />Independent Cor four consecutive weeks and place a copy of the revision application in the Delta <br />County Clerk & Recorder's Office. If you wish to submit comments on the proposed revision, you <br />may review the material at the courthouse and submit comments to this office, as indicated in the <br />
