Re: Bowie Resources, LLC, Bowie No. 2 Mine
Excess Rock, NOV CV-2007-006
Extend Abatement Deadline
Permit C-1996-083
Dear Mr. Dudash:
The referenced notice of violation was written for failure to confine surface coal mining
and reclamation operations to lands within the permit area. The final abatement
deadline is 5 p.m. December 17, 2007.
One of the abatement steps is to transport the excess rock from the Paonia water
pollution control facility to the Bowie #1 Mine as approved in MR-83 or obtain Division
approval through a technical revision to keep the excess rock where it is. By letter
dated December 5, 2007, BRL submitted a technical revision application to the DRMS
to obtain approval to keep the excess rock at the Paonia water pollution control facility.
It is unlikely the DRMS will be able to approve the technical revision application by the
December 17th abatement deadline. Additionally, if the technical revision application is
denied, it will not be possible for BRL to move the rock to the Bowie No. 1 Mine by the
December 17th deadline.
For the reasons explained above, please extend the abatement deadline for the
referenced NOV until January 18, 2008.
Sincerely,
~~4~~ ,
J. E. Stover, P.E.
