MANAGEMENT <br />On behalf of Bowie Resources, LLC, enclosed is an application for a permit revision to <br />transfer a portion of Bowie No. 1 mine permit boundary to the Bowie No. 2 mine. In <br />addition, appropriate portions of three federal coal leases C-37210, C-27432 and D- <br />36955, will now be incorporated into the Bowie No. 2 permit. <br />Right of Entry <br />The Bowie No. 1 Mine maintains it right of entry to applicable portions of federal coal <br />leases, C-37210, C-27432 & D-36955 <br />Permit and Affected Area <br />The affected area will decrease 564 acres. The permit boundary will decrease 3,339 <br />acres. Included in this permit boundary decrease are 2,379 acres that will be <br />transferred to the Bowie No.2 permit, and 960 acres that are a permit boundary <br />correction. The Operator has taken this opportunity to revise the BOW-1 permit <br />boundary. Previously, it was offset from the Federal Coal Lease Boundaries. It has <br />been corrected to now follow the Coal Lease Boundaries. Therefore, the decrease in <br />permit boundary includes the area transferred to the Bowie No. 2 permit as well as the <br />portion of the boundary that was revised to follow the Federal Coal Lease boundaries. <br />Surface Ownership <br />The owners of record of all surface areas contiguous to any part of the proposed permit <br />area did not change as a result of this permit revision. The three owners that were <br />affected by the change are Turkey Track Ranch, Bowie Resources, LLC and the BLM. <br />All three have additional land holdings that are contiguous to the amended permit <br />boundary so they remain on the list of surface owners.
