Cattany <br />Division Director <br />FROM: /Joe Dudash 1 1 Natural Resource Trustee <br />RE: Bowie No. 2 Jnd Permit No. C-1996-083, Bowie Resources LLC <br />Technical Revision No. 53, Monitoring Well and Dewatering Well, <br />Second Request for Assistance <br />I am requesting your assistance in the recalculation of the reclamation cost estimate for <br />Technical Revision No. 53 (TR-53). Bowie Resources LLC (BRL) has revised their plan <br />in TR-53 and this will result in a revision to the original reclamation cost estimate. In the <br />original plan, BRL was going to drill two drill holes. The first was to be a monitoring <br />well to the D-seam to assess the water situation in the workings. A second well would be <br />used to pump water from the D seam workings and discharge the water into Hubbard <br />Creek. <br />Now, BRL wants to drill only the dewatering hole. The monitoring hole won't be needed <br />because one was already drilled under MR-86. BRL wants to pump the water up to the <br />surface and pass it through a six inch diameter buried pipe to the ventilation shaft that is <br />currently under construction and drop the water to the B-seam workings below. <br />Therefore, the revision to the cost estimate would entail eliminating the reclamation cost <br />of the monitoring drill hole and including the cost for reclaiming the 1000 foot long <br />buried pipe. <br />Attached is one complete copy of the revised TR-53. If I could get your review memo by <br />Friday, August 29, 2008, that would be great. I will be in the field from August 25 <br />through August 28. If you need anything else, please let me know. Thanks for your <br />assistance! <br />Attachments <br />cc: Sandy Brown (without attachments) <br />c:/word/bowie2/tr53 bondmemo2 <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver - Grand Junction - Durango Active and Inactive Mines
