J. J. Dudash -2- June 10, 2010 <br />Cultural Resources <br />Not applicable, no surface disturbance <br />Soils <br />Not applicable, no surface disturbance. <br />Vegetation <br />Not applicable, no surface disturbance. <br />Hydrologic Monitoring <br />There are numerous springs and ponds that had been previously monitored by the <br />Bowie No.1 Mine that will be transferred to the Bowie No. 2 permit for baseline data. <br />Tables 1 through Table 4B in Volume 4 were revised to show which monitoring stations <br />will be transferred to the Bowie No. 2 Mine. <br />Probable Hydrologic Consequences <br />A few pages of the PHC section of the permit were amended to indicate that certain <br />monitoring stations are being transferred to the Bowie No. 2 Mine. <br />Subsidence <br />Most of the subsidence section is generic to the all underground mining proposed at <br />Bowie No. 1 Mine. There does not appear to be any direct references to the portions of <br />the permit area to be transferred to the Bowie No. 2 Mine. The one exception is page <br />138 of the subsidence section which identifies 41 structures within the Bowie No. 1 <br />Mine permit area. One of the forty-one structures, No. 27, is located within the portion <br />of the permit boundary to be transferred to the Bowie No. 2 Mine by PR-04. Table 11, <br />Volume 3 was amended to show that structure 27 was transferred to the Bowie No. 2 <br />Mine permit. Structure 27 is a dilapidated structure that does not need to be protected <br />from the effects of subsidence. <br />Bond <br />The Bowie No. 2 Mine will assume responsibility for some drill roads and drill sites <br />permitted by the Bowie No. 1 Mine. Bowie No. 1 Mine TR-41 permitted the Terror <br />Creek Section 8 Road and BRL-1-03-01. Bowie No. 1 Mine TR-49 permitted the Pond <br />7-1 Road, DH-69 Road and drill sites BRL1-08-01 and BRL1-08-04. All of these items <br />except the DH-69 road are within the new Bowie No. 2 Mine permit boundary. The DH- <br />69 road crosses the new permit boundary so part of the road will remain with the Bowie <br />No. 1 Mine permit and part of the road will move to the Bowie No. 2 Mine permit. <br />The bond for Bowie No. 1, TR-41 was $17,704 all of which was transferred to the Bowie <br />No. 2 Mine. The bond for the Bowie No. 1 Mine TR-49 was $27,508.85 after adding the <br />credit taken for TR-44. TR-49 had 1.8 miles of road. The Bowie No. 1 Mine keeps 1.2 <br />miles of the road. The Bowie No. 2 assumes 0.6 miles of the road and the two drill <br />holes. The Bowie No. 2 Mine's portion of the TR-49 bond is $22,541 with the remaining <br />$4,968 applicable to the Bowie No. 1 Mine. Therefore the decrease in bond for the <br />Bowie No. 1 Mine is $40,244.
