Sherman <br />Executive Director <br />Ronald W. Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety has received a revision for the Bowie No. 2 Mine. The <br />revision was called complete on May 29, 2009. The decision due date is June 8, 2009. <br />In Minor Revision No. 104, Bowie Resources, LLC is proposing to change the location of a previously <br />approved but not yet drilled gob vent borehole. The gob vent borehole is needed to expel methane from <br />the underground mine. This relocation of the proposed drill hole will require the construction of a new <br />drill pad and a new light use road. The total disturbance from the proposed activity will be 3.7 acres, all <br />on land that is managed by the USDA-Forest Service. The drill hole and all surface disturbances will be <br />reclaimed when no longer needed. <br />If you have any questions, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />tsph J.
