Sherman <br /> <br />FROM: Joe Dudash ' Executive Director <br />Ronald W. Cattany <br /> Division Director <br /> Natural Resource Trustee <br />RE: Bowie No. 2 Mine, Permit No. C-1996-083, Bowie Resources LLC <br />Minor Revision No. 102, Pond B Culvert and Pond Discharge Pipeline, <br />Request for Assistance <br />I am requesting your assistance in the calculation of the reclamation cost estimate for Minor <br />Revision No. 102 (MR-102) for the Bowie No. 2 Mine. This revision proposes to place a culvert <br />into a section of an approved ditch on the east side of pond B and, also, to construct a temporary <br />6 inch diameter plastic pipeline in order to divert pond discharge across disturbed land at coal <br />waste pile no. 3. <br />The culvert is a metal one that is 30 inches in diameter and about 120 feet long. The 6 inch <br />diameter plastic pipeline is about 800 feet long. Most of the pipeline will be in a trench. At some <br />time in the future, the pond discharge will be routed around the gob pile no. 3 area and the <br />pipeline will probably be buried in place so BRL did not include that in the cost estimate. <br />MR-102 was called complete on May 20, 2009. Therefore, the Division's decision is due <br />Monday, June 1. However, I will be in the field from June 1 through June 4. If I could get your <br />review memo back by Friday, May 29, I would greatly appreciate it. If you need more time, <br />please let me know on May 29 so that I can extend MR-102. <br />Attached is one complete copy of the MR-102 submittal. If you need any additional information, <br />please let me know. Thanks for your help. <br />Attachments <br />cc: Sandy Brown (without attachments) <br />c:/word2007/bowie2/mrI 02memo 1 <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand Junction • Duramao Active and Inactive Mines
