Re: Bowie No.1 Mine (Permit No. C-1981-038)
Revision: TR-48
Reclamation Plan Revisions
Dear Sir or Madam:
The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety has received a revision for the Bowie No. 1 Mine.
Attached is a copy of the pertinent sections of the revision submittal. The revision was called complete
on February 1, 2008. The decision due date is April 1, 2008.
In Technical Revision No. 48, Bowie Resources LLC (BRL) is proposing to revise three items in the
approved reclamation plan for the Bowie No. 1 Mine. First, BRL wants to delete permit text that refers to
the use of rocks from the rock slope project as cover material for reclamation, since the rock slopes were
never constructed. Second, BRL is proposing to change the permit text to allow for the surface
roughening of reclamation slopes. Finally, BRL would like to change the fertilization plan so that
fertilizers would not be used in most cases.
This revision is available for review at the Paonia Public Library, 140 Grand Avenue, Paonia, CO 81428.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
