Sherman <br />Executive Director <br />FROM: Joe Dudash Ronald W. Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />RE: Bowie No. 2 Mi e, Permit No. C-1996-083, Bowie Resources LLC <br />Technical Revision No. 52, Thirteen Gob Vent Bore Holes, Updated <br />Request for Assistance <br />In a memo to you dated December 28, 2007, I requested assistance concerning the <br />reclamation cost estimate for TR-52. BRL was requesting incremental bonding for the <br />thirteen gob vent bore holes and a bond credit for GVB-617, approved in MR-78. I just <br />sent the Division's adequacy review letter for TR-52, in which I detailed the procedure <br />for incremental bonding. TR-52 would approve approximate locations for the drill holes, <br />pads and roads that would be constructed in the next three years. However, no bond <br />would be associated with TR-52. Each year, BRL would submit a minor revision for the <br />construction proposed for that year. At that time, a reclamation bond would be calculated <br />for that minor revision. An annual update report would also be needed. <br />Therefore, please hold off on calculating the reclamation cost estimate for the thirteen <br />gob vent bore holes. If BRL decides to do incremental bonding, the bond calculation for <br />TR-52 won't be needed. Please do the reclamation cost estimate credit for GVB-6, as had <br />been requested by BRL in TR-52. I will let you know of the final outcome of the <br />incremental bond issue. <br />If you need any additional information, please let me know. Thanks for your assistance. <br />Attachments <br />cc: Sandy Brown (without attachments) <br />c:/word/bowie2/tr52bondmemo2 <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand )unction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines
