Walther <br />Executive Dveclor <br />Michael a. Long <br />Division Director <br />Re: Request For US F&W Consultation, Bowie No. I and No. 2 Mines, Bowie Resources Limited <br />Dear Mr Reed: <br />In a letter dated January 12, 1999, the Colorado Division of ivfinerals and Geology had requested from the <br />Office of Surface Mining that the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service enter into consultation concerning <br />evaporative loss and water consumptive depletion, as part of the Windy Gap Process. There were two <br />technical revisions of the Bowie No. I Mine and two technical revisions of the Bowie No. 2 Mine that <br />were associated with this request. <br />This letter is to inform you that three of the four technical revisions have been withdrawn but will be <br />resubmitted later. Technical Revision No. 30 of the Bowie No. I Mine concerned an increase in <br />production at the loadout. This will be resubmitted as a different technical revision. The Bowie No. 2 <br />Technical Revision No. 6, which involved the relocation and enlargement of sedimentation pond B, and <br />Technical Revision No. 7, which involved a change to longwall and the resultant increase in production, <br />will be resubmitted as one permit revision. <br />The Division anticipates that this material will be resubmitted shortly so we will be formally requesting the <br />assistance of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service again in this matter at the time of submittal. <br />If you need any additional information, please call me. <br />Sincerely, <br />I I' ~ ~~~ <br />1~seph ]. udash <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />cc: Bob Leachman (U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Grand Junction) <br />William A.
