VED <br />APR 15 2.013 <br />Division of Reclamation, <br />Safety <br />Mining <br />On behalf of Bowie Resources, LLC, (BRL), enclosed is an application for a technical <br />revision to install six gob vent holes and drill one exploration hole. <br />Project Summary <br />Gob vent holes are required over all longwall panels. This revision proposes one <br />additional GVB for panel 14 (GVB- B14F), four GVBs for panel 15 and one GVB for <br />panel 16. One exploration hole is also proposed by this revision. There was some <br />minor realignment of GVBs B14B, B14C, B14D and B14E however the overall change <br />in road length and disturbed area is negligible. The changes in road length and <br />disturbed area are incorporated in the table on Map 9. The projected dates of road <br />disturbance and drill pad construction were also updated on Map 9. <br />Right of Entry <br />Right of entry is granted by BRL's Federal Coal lease subject to analysis of impacts by <br />the surface management agency. Exploration hole SS -8 and its associated road are <br />located on land managed by the BLM. GVB -B14F and associated road are located on <br />BRL surface. GVBs B15B, B15C and B15D and associated roads are located on <br />surface owned by Turkey Track Ranch. The Surface Access Agreement between BRL <br />and Turkey Track Ranch has previously been incorporated into the permit in Volume III, <br />Tab 1. GVB B15A, B16A and associated roads are located on surface owned by Derby <br />Mountain, LLLP. BRL should have a surface access agreement with Derby Mountain, <br />LLLP in the next 30 days. <br />Affected and Disturbed Area <br />There will be 10.1 acres of new disturbance. The affected area will increase 1.2 acres <br />since most of the new disturbance is located over areas to be mined out. <br />
