Pineda <br />Director <br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety has received a minor revision for the Bowie No. 2 Mine. <br />The revision was called complete on September 29, 2010. The decision due date is October 9, 2010. <br />In Minor Revision No. 121, Bowie Resources LLC is proposing to revise the Hubbard Creek shaft sealing <br />plan by including coal waste, in addition to the already approved rock and soil, in the shaft fill. Ground <br />water should be protected since the shaft had been grouted and,lined with cemented-in-place steel. The <br />concrete cap will be vented. The shaft sealing will be in compliance with MSHA regulations. <br />If you have any questions, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />seph J. dash <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />C-CI-01 C1996083 JJD 09292010020611.doc <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines
