has been accessed from three (3) entries which were constructed at an elevation of 6880 feet above sea level. This is the elevation where the D-2 coal seam generally outcrops, within the Bowie No. 2 permit area, and this elevation is approximately 800 feet above the old State Highway 133. The main entries have been driven down-dip to the north, with the sub-mains being driven east and west from the mains. Currently, total annual coal production is expected to range from a minimum of approximately 250,000 tons per year to an approximate maximum of 2 million tons per year. However, Bowie Resources has submitted Permit Revision No. 3 which would, if approved, increase production to 5 million tons per year. Production will vary depending upon market conditions. The mine facilities have been constructed near the old Bowie townsite. Construction has occurred to develop haul and access roads, a conveyor belt system, mine and facility benches, vent shafts, a truck loadout facility, a refuse pile, and various drainage and sediment control facilities. Coal is currently being exported from the truck loadout facility onto old State Highway 133. A drainage and sediment control system has been constructed. The system consists of ditches, culverts, sedimentation ponds and alternate sediment control areas referred to as "small area exemptions". Specific details regarding the designs for these systems are presented in Section 2.05, as are references to other sections of the permit application document which present additional design details. All available topsoil has been salvaged and stored prior to facility construction. Salvaged topsoil from the facilities areas was placed in a topsoil storage pile which has a capacity of approximately 270,000 cubic yards. Topsoil which was salvaged prior to the refuse pile construction was stored in another pile which has an approximate storage capacity of 3,l l 1 cubic yards. Specific details regarding the topsoil salvage volumes are presented on Page 2.05-34 of the Bowie No. 2 Mine permit application. Some surface blasting occurred during construction proceeds. Details regarding the blasting plan are presented within Section 2.05 of the permit application. The Bowie No. 2 Mine is located in areas known to be subject to, mass movement processes. Extensive design efforts and regulatory review were implemented prior to the approval of the Bowie No. 2 Mine. The details regarding the geotechnical aspects of the mining and reclamation plan are presented within Volume VII of the permit application document. The Bowie No. 2 Mine will be reclaimed to the post-mining land uses of rangeland, wildlife habitat and industrial. All facilities areas and some roads will be reclaimed to reestablish the approximate original contour of the land. All portals, shafts and monitoring wells will be backfilled, in accordance with the applicable rules and with the reclamation details provided within the permit application. Some of the roads which existed prior to mining will be retained to serve the postmining land use.
