<br />NOTICE OF PROPOSED
<br />DECISION
<br />The Colorado Division of
<br />Reclamation, Mining and Safety
<br />proposes to Approve Technical
<br />Revision Application No., 65 (TR-65)
<br />for the Bowie No. 2 Mine (Permit
<br />No. C-1996.083), submitted by
<br />Bowie Resources, LLC. In Technical
<br />Revision No. 65, Bowie Resources
<br />LLC (BRL) is proposing to amend its
<br />B-Seam mine plan and also drill one
<br />geotechnical hole. Due to adverse
<br />mining conditions in the north, BRL is
<br />proposing to curtail mining and related
<br />surface disturbance operations on
<br />Forest Service managed land in the
<br />north and construct mains to the west
<br />to connect the current Bowie No. 2
<br />Mine workings with future longwall
<br />mining further' to idle ;west, The
<br />proposed mains wilIBas x?tuuderneatp
<br />4 8ptill siuoderneath +the
<br />VV#&("dft fiver Administration
<br />transmission line, between two of the
<br />transmission line's towers. The mains
<br />are designed to prevent subsidence
<br />underneath Terror Creek and the two
<br />transmission line towers. BRL is also
<br />proposing to room and pillar mine in
<br />an area that lies to the north of the
<br />current mains and just east of Terror
<br />Creek. Finally, BRL is proposing to
<br />drill a geotechnical hole for a future
<br />vent shaft on the west side of Terror
<br />Creek. The coal to be mined and the
<br />surface to be disturbed are managed
<br />by the Bureau of Land Management.
<br />BFIL's right to enter is under Federal
<br />Coal Lease.000.61209. All proposed
<br />mining and surface disturbances are
<br />within the current permit area. No
<br />increase in coal production or water
<br />usage at the mine is proposed in this
<br />revision.
<br />The Bowie No, 2 Mine is a
<br />underground coal mine located in
<br />Delta County, approximately 5 miles
<br />northeast of Paonia, Colorado. Coal
<br />interest is Federal and private, and the
<br />surface affected is Federal and private
<br />land. The permit area encompasses
<br />approximately 5,864.80 acres.
<br />This proposed decision is based on
<br />a finding that the proposed operation
<br />will comply with all requirements of
<br />the Colorado Surface Coal Mining
<br />Reclamation Act, Section 34-33.101,
<br />et,seq.. Ca3.S., and the regulations
