RE: Bowie No. 2 Mine, Permit No. C-96-083, Bowie Resources LLC
. Technical Revision No. 53, Monitoring Well and Dewatering Well, Adequacy Review
Dear Mr. Bear:
The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division) has finished its adequacy review of
Bowie Resources LLC's (BRL) submittal of Technical Revision No. 53 (TR-53) for the Bowie No. 2 Mine.
The following are the Division's questions and comments:
Section 2.03.6. Right of Entry and Operation Information
Please provide the appropriate documentation that demonstrates that the USDA-Forest Service
approves of this project.
Section 2.04.4. Cultural and Historic Resource Information
2. The Division understands that BRL is working with the USDA-Forest Service to determine if
cultural resource site 5DT1326 might be impacted by the activities proposed in TR-53. Please
inform the Division in writing as to the results of this determination.
Section 2.05.6. Mitigation of the Impacts of Mining Operations
3. In the January 10, 2008 cover letter, it is stated that BRL intends to move the CDPS discharge
point from the ventilation shaft site to the dewatering well discharge point. Please submit a copy of
the amended NPDES permit when it has been obtained.
4. In the January 10, 2008 cover letter, BRL states that the mine water will not need to be treated
before discharge. Please revise the permit application to include a description and the details of the
water monitoring program that will be used to confirm this.
Please provide well completion diagrams when the drill holes have been completed.
6. Please provide a more detailed description of the TR-53 project on permit application page 2.05-
351. Please include methods that will be used to control erosion at the discharge outlet in Hubbard
Creek. Also, please incorporate the information contained in the January 10 cover letter for TR-53
(which includes the plan for handling the discharge water) into the permit application.
