Hickenlooper <br />Governor <br />Mike King <br />Executive Director <br />Loretta E. Pineda <br />Director <br />The Division has completed our review of Bowie Resources, LLC (BRL)'s March 18, 2013 response to our <br />adequacy issues with the above mentioned revision application. The revision proposes the inclusion of <br />two lease modification areas northwest of the currently approved mining area, and provides a revised <br />mine plan. We have one comment on the submittal. <br />10. During the review of BRL's application for Permit Renewal No. 3 (RN3), the Division identified <br />adequacy concerns with the ownership and control information in the currently approved permit <br />application (February 1, 2013 letter from Brock Bowles). The Division requested updated <br />information for both the PR -13 and RN -3 applications. <br />BRL provided updated ownership and control information, which the Division used to update the <br />AVS. The Division queried the AVS to determine whether there are any outstanding violations that <br />would preclude issuance of PR -13 and RN -3. The AVS reported that there is an outstanding <br />violation related to AML fees at the Bowie No. 2 Mine. BRL will need to resolve this issue before <br />the permit revision or permit renewal applications can be approved. Please advise the Division <br />when BRL has resolved the outstanding AML fees violation. <br />If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Susan L.
