Watcher <br />TO: Jim Stark, Sandy Brown (E-Mail) Executive Oirector <br />Ronald W, Cattany <br />FROM• Joe Dudash ~ Acting Division Director <br />RE: Request For Assrstance, Permit Renewal No. 4 (RN-04), Bowie No. 1 <br />Mine, Permit No. C-81-038, Bowie Resources Limited <br />Bowie Resources Limited (BRL) has submitted an application for Pemut Renewal No. 4 <br />(RN-04) for the Bowie No. 1 Mine. I am requesting your assistance in the updating of the <br />reclamation cost estimate for this permit renewal. As a reminder, you calculated the <br />Bowie No. 1 Mine bond estimate a relatively short time ago, but it was in "old" dollazs. <br />There aze two complications to this request. First, although the proposed decisions for <br />TR-35 for the Bowie No. 1 permit and TR-19 for the Bowie No. 2 pem3it approved the <br />transfer of the Bowie No. 1 train loadout and highway coal stockpile azeas to the Bowie <br />No. 2 permit, the decision is not final because BRL has not provided the increase in bond <br />for Bowie No. 2. Therefore, the reclamation cost estimate for Bowie No. 1 needs to <br />include the train loadout and the highway coal stockpile azeas at this time. <br />Another complication is that the pazent company of BRL has filed for bacllQUptcy. The <br />decision date for RN-04 is January 23, 2003. I would appreciate a memo from you by <br />December 27, 2002. However, because of this bankruptcy issue, a quicker review of the <br />bond estimate may be needed. Please see Sandy concerning this. <br />I have not attached any RN-04 submittal pages to this memo. Please see me if you need <br />any information. Thanks for your assistance. <br />c: /word/b owie 1 /m04memo 1 <br />
