Section 2.04.4 Cultural and Historic Resource Information 6. Section 2.04.4(1) was revised to include the 2004 Grand River Institute report. However, there appears to be additional information in Section 2.04.4 of the Bowie No. 1 permit application that might apply to the transferred permit area. Please add the applicable Bowie No. 1 cultural and historic resource information to Section 2,04.4(1) of the Bowie No. 2 permit application. In addition, the Division understands that the 2004 Grand River Institute report covers the east side of the transferred area since BRL anticipates surface disturbance from the construction of gob vent boreholes. If surface disturbances will occur on the west side of the proposed transferred area, BRL will need to cite the applicable cultural and historic resource surveys or perform such a survey. Section 2.04.5 General Description of Hydrology and Geology 7. Concerning revised page 2.04-12: A. Please amend the list of maps in the second paragraph to include Map 8A. B. In the 3rd paragraph, 4th line, the relative directions of the streams should read "west, east, central and south respectively" rather than "west, central, east and south respectfully". Please correct this sentence. C. The following sentence (according to Map 9) should refer to the West Fork of Terror Creek, rather than West Terror Creek. D. The direction of flow of ephemeral drainages in the western portion of the permit area is incorrectly described in the 5th sentence of the 3rd paragraph. Ephemeral drainages instead flow to the east into Terror Creek and to the west into Stevens Gulch. E. "Stephens Draw" heads the list of drainages that flow to the North Fork. This drainage does not appear to be labeled on Map 9, but it does appear on other maps (5 and 6) as "Stevens Draw". Please correct the spelling as appropriate and label the drainage as such on Map 9. Section 2.04.6 Geology Description 8. Subsection (3)(a) describes the Stratigraphy of the region, and certain of the units listed appear to coincide with units shown on Map 07 - Geology, although the unit abbreviations given on Map 07 do not appear to be provided in the text. The Division infers that the following correlations may be likely: Abbreviation Shown on Ma 07 Stratigraphic Unit from Permit Text Tw Wasatch Formation Kmvo Ohio Creek Conglomerate Kmvb Mesaverde Formation - Barren Member Kmvc Mesaverde Formation - Coal Bearing Member Kmvr Mesaverde Formation - Rollins Sandstone Member 2
