The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety hereby issues notice, in accordance with Title 34, Article 33,
Section 116, Paragraph 4, of the Colorado Revised Statutes, that on September 18, 2008, an application to revise
coal mining operations at the Bowie No. 1 Mine was considered complete for the purposes of filing. The revision
was submitted by Bowie Resources, LLC. All review and comment periods as provided in the Act and the
Regulations initiate from this date of filing.
Bowie Resources, LLC is proposing to drill two exploration holes, which will determine if the old mine workings
are flooded and will assist in the determination of the remaining coal reserves within the Bowie No. 1 Mine permit
area. The project involves upgrading approximately 1.1 miles of light use road, constructing 0.1 miles of new road
and the construction of two drill pads. Drill rig and crew access will be from SH 133 to Stevens Gulch Road. The
new and upgraded light use roads and two drill pads will disturb approximately 2.3 acres. Reclamation will consist
of restoring the drill pads, narrowing the upgraded road, reclaiming the new road, and seeding, The Bowie No. 1
Mine portals will not be reactivated.
The underground coal mining operation is on land located approximately 3 miles North of Paonia, Colorado. The
permit area is further described as follows:
Portions of Sections 1-3, 10-15, and 22-25, Township 13 South, Range 92 West of the 6th P.M.
Portions of Sections 5-8, 17-19, and 29-32, Township 13 South, Range 91 West of the 6th P.M.
The above-mentioned tracts of land are shown on USGS 7.5 minute Quadrangle maps of Bowie and Gray Reservoir.
Please advise us if you require additional information for your review.
