RE: Bowie No. 2 Permit No. C-1996-083, Bowie Resources LLC
Permit Revision No. 12, West Mine Expansion, Request for Assistance
In a submittal dated November 5, 2010, Bowie Resources LLC (BRL) has provided responses to the
Division's adequacy review letter dated August 2, 2010 for PR-12. I am requesting your assistance in
the review of BRL's responses.
The adequacy responses mainly deal with the Division's questions concerning ground water.
Therefore, I am requesting that Mike review those responses.
However, BRL also changed the longwall panel orientation in the proposed western district from east-
west to north-south. It appears that the trace of the subsidence zone doesn't change much from the
original subsidence zone trace but I am still requesting that Marcia and Kent review the new mine plan
for adequacy.
I asked Jim Stover to mail copies of BRL's latest responses to Mike and Marcia. I have a copy for
Kent and myself to review here in the Denver office.
BRL has requested that the Division publish the decision public notice on November 24 so I would
appreciate comments back by Wednesday, November 17 or earlier, if at all possible.
If you need additional information or more time, please let me know. Thanks for your help.
