PUBLIC NOTICE
<br />Bowie Resources, LLC, Box 483, Paonia, Colorado, 81428, has filed with the Division of
<br />Reclamation, Mining and Safety a complete application for a technical revision for its Bowie No.
<br />1 Mine permit No. C -1981 -038. Proposed technical revision no. 55 will remove monitoring well
<br />B -4 from the required groundwater monitoring requirements because well B -4 was recently
<br />destroyed by hillside construction work. B -4 is not needed to determine whether there are
<br />adverse impacts to the hydrologic balance since it did not provide any meaningful data for water
<br />quality or quantity.
<br />The Bowie No. 1 Mine is located in Delta County, approximately four (4) miles north of Paonia,
<br />CO. The Bowie No. 1 Mine loadout is located in Delta County approximately one mile east of
<br />Paonia, CO south of State Highway 133. The surface facilities, located north of the North Fork
<br />of the Gunnison River, are located in portions of Sections 23 and 24, Township 13 South Range
<br />92 West; and Section 29, Township 13 South, Range 91 West of the 6th P.M. The mine permit
<br />area is located on the U.S. Geological Survey 7.5 minute Bowie and Gray Reservoir, Colorado
