Cattany <br /> <br />FROM <br />D <br />h <br />J <br />d <br />f <br />) Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />: oe <br />u <br />as <br />o <br />- <br />RE: Bowie No. 2 me, Permit No. C-1996-083, Bowie Resources LLC. <br /> Technical Revision No. 65, B-Seam Room and Pillar Mine Plan, Request for <br /> Assistance <br />I am requesting your assistance in the review of Technical Revision No. 65 (TR-65) for the Bowie No. <br />2 Mine. In TR-65, Bowie Resources is proposing to revise the approved mine plan by adding a new <br />area for room and pillar mining of B-seam coal. The proposed new mining area is just southeast of <br />longwall panels B-2 and B-3 and is located immediately west of the mine facilities area. The proposed <br />mining would be near the outcrop and might create collapse of the outcrop barrier pillar and generate <br />rockfalls from the overlying cliff. <br />Bowie Resources has requested that the Division consider changing this technical revision to a minor <br />revision. At this time, I do not know if the Division will redo this submittal as a minor revision. <br />Therefore, I do not have an adequacy review date deadline. If you could review the information as if it <br />were going to be a minor revision with its shorter review time, that would be great. The completeness <br />is due on Monday, October 26 but I will be in the field the remainder of this week and the first week of <br />November. If I could get your comments back by sometime during the last week in October, that <br />would be fine. Please let me know if there is a problem with the short review time frame. <br />Attached is one complete copy of the submittal. I e-mailed some of this information to you already. <br />Thanks for your help! <br />Attachments <br />cc: Sandy Brown (without attachments) <br />c:/word2007/bowie2/tr65memo 1 <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines
