MANAGEMENT <br />OR 'I 1Z009 <br />UIVIZ51- mt,0amation, <br />Mining and Safety <br />Re: Bowie Resources, LLC, Bowie No. 2 Mine <br />2006 Annual Report <br />Permit C-1996-083 <br />Dear Mr. Dudash: <br />The DRMS' letter dated February 19, 2009, transmitted its adequacy review for the <br />referenced annual report. The DRMS had one question regarding a discrepancy <br />between page T3-1 and permit application page 2.05-76 regarding pond inflow and <br />outflow. Pond inflow or outflow is measured depending on the best place to obtain an <br />accurate flow measurement. Pond outflow is considered the best place to obtain a flow <br />measurement if a pond has numerous springs or seeps emitting from a saturated <br />surface. This is the case for ponds 33-5 and 33-6. Pond inflow is measured if it is an <br />identifiable flow. This is the case for ponds, P-6, 34-2 and 34-11. Measuring pond <br />inflow is the preferable method because the quality of the water will not have been <br />degraded by use of wildlife and cattle. Measuring pond inflow is the only method if a <br />pond is not full and overflowing. Pond inflow is assumed to equal pond outflow if the <br />field notes line indicates the pond is full and overflowing. <br />Enclosed is amended page T3-1 for the 1996 and 1997 Annual Report. Please call <br />with any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />J. tover, P.E. <br />Consulting Engineer <br />cc: Wm. A. Bear, Jr.
