Walther <br />Executive Director <br />Ronald W. Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />At the request of Bowie Resources Limited (BRL), the Colorado Division of Minerals and <br />Geology (Division) is proposing to withdraw Technical Revision No. 22 (TR-22) for the Bowie <br />No. 2 Mine. <br />The public notice of the withdrawal will be published in the Delta County Independent on August <br />27, 2003. Within 10 days of the publication, persons with an interest may request a formal hearing <br />before the Mined Land Reclamation Boazd on the proposed decision. <br />This technical revision would have added a geotechnical data report and a seismic monitoring plan <br />for the Bruce Pazk Dam (Terror Creek Reservoir) into the Bowie No. 2 Mine permit. The <br />information was submitted to ensure that a proper monitoring plan is in effect before Bowie <br />Resources would be allowed to mine within one mile of the dam embanlmrent. With the withdrawal <br />of TR-22, no mining is currently permitted within one mile of the Bruce Pazk Dam. <br />Attached is a copy of the letter from BRL in which they request that TR-22 be withdrawn. If you <br />have any questions, please call me. <br />Sincerely <br />J sep J. >~da~~ <br />nvironmental Protection Specialist <br />Attachment <br />cc: Lynn Lewis (BLM-Montrose) with attachment <br />Jim Norfleet, P.E.
