Strand <br />Management/Program, Analyst <br />Office • Surface Mining, Western Region <br />1•9• Broadway, Suite 3320 <br />Denver, CO 80202-3050 <br />RE: Proposed Decision of the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />(CD S) SL-04 Partial Phase I Bond Release at the Bowie No. I Mine, Pen-nit Number <br />C-1981-038 <br />In response to your email • May • 2013, my staff has reviewed your request for concurrence to <br />Phase I Bond Release for reclamation that was conducted between 2001 and 2009 by Bowie <br />Resources, LLC. The release pertains to reclamation • the east portal site including removal • <br />surface facility structures on about 40.15 acres. <br />We are aware that the lands covered in the request are fee surface lands and past mining <br />activities took place on adjacent subsurface federal coal. The reclamation and the CDRMS <br />review process documented • the CDRMS are satisfactory • BLM with necessary resolutions <br />apparently reached with private surface owners. Therefore, if the surface owners are satisfied <br />with the work completed, then the BLM has no objection to the Bond Release. <br />Sincerely, <br />Barbara Sharrow, <br />
