r~ <br />• • <br />NOTICE OF PROPOSED DECISION <br />The Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology proposes to approve Technical Revision Application <br />No. l6 (TR-l6) for the Bowie No. 2 Mine (Permit No. C-1996-083), submitted by Bowie Resources <br />Limited. Approval of this technical revision would permit an incidental boundary change in order to <br />conduct limited development mining in federal coal. Right of entry into the federal coal has been secured <br />by Bowie Resources Limited through Federal Coal Lease COC 61209. The incidental boundary change <br />would add 169 acres of private surface and 130 acres of federal surface to the northern portion of the <br />permit area. All of the coal to be mined is federal. There would not be any increase in the disturbance <br />area, no additional facilities would be built and there would not be any increase in production through this <br />revision. <br />The Bowie No. 2 Mine is an Underground coal mine located in Delta County, approximately 5 miles NE <br />of Paonia, Colorado. Presently, the permit area encompasses approximately 2,551.00 acres, 2174 acres of <br />which are private surface and 377 acres of which are federal surface. Private coal acreage encompasses <br />1906 acres while the remaining 645 acres are federal coal. <br />This proposed decision is based on a finding that the proposed operation will comply with all <br />requirements of the Colorado Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Act, Section 34-33-101, et seq., C.R.S., <br />and the regulations promulgated thereunder. <br />Copies of the proposed decision are on file for public inspection at the Colorado Division of Minerals and <br />Geology, Room 215, Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado 80203.
