RE: Bowie No. 2 Mine, Permit No. C-1996-083, Bowie Resources LLC Natural Resource Trustee
2009 Midterm Permit Review Findings Document
Dear Mr. Bear:
Enclosed is the Division's 2009 Midterm Permit Review Findings Document for the Bowie No.
2 Mine. The midterm permit review is required by Rule 2.08.3(1) for every active permit and is
to be conducted in the middle of the five year permit term.
The purpose of the midterm permit review is to conduct a review of the permit application and
identify any areas that need to be revised to bring the permit application into compliance.
This findings document is divided into four sections. Section I details the history of the mine.
Section II lists the permitting and enforcement actions since the permit issuance. The reclamation
bond information is in Section III. Section IV contains the Division's adequacy concerns.
Because of the recent permit revision activity for Bowie No. 2, the permit application
information is basically up to date. The Division has only two adequacy review questions and
one comment, as presented in Section IV of this document. Please respond in a timely manner.
If you have any questions, please call me.
Sincerely,
Hoseph J(dash
Environmental Protection Specialist
