J. J. Dudash -2- July 8, 2010 <br />Section 2.04.4 Cultural and Historic Resource Information <br />6. This issue is resolved at this time. BRL will submit new cultural resource surveys when <br />needed, rather than use the cultural surveys that are now in the Bowie No. 1 permit <br />application. <br />BRL - No response required. <br />Section 2.04.5 General Description of Hydrology and Geology <br />7. These issues are resolved. <br />Section 2.04.6 Geology Description <br />8. This issue is resolved. <br />9. This issue is resolved. <br />10. This issue is resolved. <br />11. This issue is resolved. <br />12. The Division understands that the coal seam that was mined at the Bowie No. 1 Mine had <br />been incorrectly labeled as the D-2 coal seam, whereas it actually is the B-2 coal seam. <br />Please revise the discussion in the first paragraph on revised page 2.04-22 of Section <br />2.04.6(3)(a) accordingly. <br />Page 2.04-21 was revised to take out the D-seam reference for the coal mined at the Bowie <br />No. 1 Mine. However, the Division's request did not take into account that the <br />paragraph concerning the Bowie No. 1 Mine coal is included in the middle of the <br />discussion of the D-seam coal in the area. By only taking out the reference to the D- <br />seam, the paragraph still seems to imply that the D-seam is involved. In order to <br />avoid confusion, it would appear that this revised paragraph should be moved to the <br />discussion on the B-seam coal that begins on revised page 2.04-22. <br />BRL - Pages 2.04-21 and 22 were amended as requested. <br />13. Because the proposed new mining district is quite a distance west of the current <br />Bowie No. 2 Mine area, please incorporate the Bowie No. 1 Mine acid, toxic and <br />alkalinity forming chemical analyses and discussion in Section 2.04.6 for the B-2 <br />coal seam (designated incorrectly as the D-2 coal seam) and the strata immediately <br />above and below the B-2 coal seam into the Bowie No. 2 Mine permit application in <br />Section 2.04.6(3). <br />In the June 1, 2010 submittal, BRL stated that the requested information was <br />provided on revised page 2.04-26 and in Tab 6 of Volume III. The Tab 6 information <br />was supplied but revised page 2.04-26 was not. Please provide revised page 2.04- <br />26. <br />BRL - Amended page 2.04-26 is enclosed.
