MANAGEMENT <br />W.CWV" <br />NOV I 2010 <br />Qiva V` <br />There are still two issues to deal with prior to approval of PR-12. One is the final <br />tweaking of the language regarding groundwater monitoring. The second is that the <br />lease modification for FCL-D-036955 has not yet been approved. On behalf of Bowie <br />Resources, LLC, ("BRU) following are its remaining responses to the two issues. <br />51. The undersigned met with DRMS representative Mike Boulay on November 9, 2010 <br />to review BRL's November 5, 2010 responses to bedrock baseline information and <br />monitoring. BRL made the requested changes to pages 2.04-32, 2.04-32i and 2.05- <br />124. <br />Lease Modification <br />The lease modification for FCL-D-036955 has not yet been approved. All of the maps <br />prepared for PR-12 have a permit boundary that includes the lease modification area. <br />The DRMS agreed to accept amended Maps 1, 2, 14-B and 27 with the lease <br />modification eliminated from the permit boundary for the interim period. A technical <br />revision will be processed as soon as the lease modification is approved to incorporate <br />the lease modification area into the permit as well as Maps 1, 2, 14B and 27. The <br />remaining maps approved by PR-12 will have the permit boundary that encompasses <br />the lease modification area. <br />Page 2.03-14 was amended to indicate the lease modification is not included in the <br />permit boundary. The acreage listed for lease D-036955 in the table on Page 2.05-3 <br />was reduced. The language on Pages 2.05-7 and 8 was updated to explain current <br />mining progress. A short explanation of TR-68, Incidental Permit Boundary Revision, <br />was added to the top of page 2.05-8.
