The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division) has finished its adequacy review of
Bowie Resources LLC's (BRL) October 5, 2007 submittal for Technical Revision No. 49 (TR-49) for the
Bowie No. 2 Mine. The following is the status of the Division's questions and comments:
Rule 2.03.10, Identification of Other Licenses and Permits
As stated in the TR-49 cover letter, BRL has applied for a Colorado Department of
Transportation highway access permit. Please provide a copy of the highway permit when it is
obtained for inclusion into the permit application. Also, please update Section 2.03. 10 of the
permit application to identify this permit.
The Division has no further concerns. A copy of the CDOT permit was included in the October 5,
2007 submittal. The Division notes that the CDOT permit incorrectly states the purpose of the
permit. The coal waste is to be hauled from the north side of Highway 133B to the south side of
Highway 133B, not the other way around as is stated in the CDOT permit.
2. Which entity owns the road in this area that meets Bowie Road from the south and are any
permits necessary since the access onto Bowie Road will be changed?
In the October 5, 2007 submittal, BRL stated that the 4369 Lane is owned by BRL. However the
CDOT permit refers to the road as 4365 Lane. Please clarify.
3. As also stated in the TR-49 cover letter, BRL is working with the Bureau of Reclamation
concerning any permits for crossing the Fire Mountain Canal. Please provide documentation that
the Bureau of Reclamation approves of this project. I fa permit is obtained, please provide a copy
of the permit for inclusion into the permit application and update Section 2.03. 10 to identify this
permit.
BRL stated that the permit will be sent to the Division when it is received.
4. As also required under Rule 2.05.6(1), please provide any copies of construction permits, if any
are required, from the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment concerning
Office of Office of
Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines
