J. Dudash <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />RECEIVI~® <br />FES 0 ° 2005 <br />Giviaion of N~ineraln cnd Geolo;v <br />Re: Bowie No. 1 Mine, Bowie Resources LLC <br />2003 Annual Report <br />Adequacy Response <br />Permit No. C-81-038 <br />Dear Mr. Dudash: <br />CIVIL ENGINEERING <br />CONST. MANAGEMENT <br />The DMG's letter dated January 25, 2005 transmitted its adequacy comments regazding the 2003 <br />Annual Report. Following are Bowie's responses to the DMG's comments and concerns: <br />2003 Annual Hvdroloev Report /AHRI <br />1. Page 2 of the report states that ground water well B01 was destroyed by a 2003 <br />reclamation project Figure 1 states that B01 is located at the East Mine fan <br />IeveL The Division is not aware of any reclamation activities at the East Mine <br />fan level site in 2003. Please explain. Should this borehole be replaced or can <br />borehole B02 provide sufficient information? <br />BRL -After receipt of DMG's inquiry regazding the destruction of ground water <br />well BOl, we found that BO1 was destroyed by a dozer during maintenance of the <br />road to the old power and cap magazines. This actually occurred sometime prior to <br />June 26, 2002 (see attached copy of field monitoring notes). Boreholes BOl and <br />B02 have been dry during each monitoring event since they were drilled in <br />September, 1981. Considering the close proximity of Boreholes BOl and B02 and <br />that they are neaz the same horizon, we believe Borehole B02 provides sufficient <br />information for monitoring purposes. <br />
