Hickenlooper <br />Governor <br />Mike King <br />Executive Director <br />Loretta E. Pineda <br />Director <br />The Division has reviewed the response submitted by J.E. Stover & Associates, Inc. on behalf of Bowie <br />Resources, LLC (BRL) for minor revision application (MR -137) to the Bowie No. 2 Mine permit. The <br />revision proposes retention of portions of the Plantation Road at the request of the Forest Service. <br />In response to our request, BRL submitted a map delineating the proposed portion of the USDA -FS <br />Route 825 (Plantation Road) to be retained for permanent use as an ATV track. The map provided by <br />BRL, however, is inconsistent with the map generated by the USDA -FS indicating the portions of the <br />road to be retained. The map provided by the USDA -FS is attached. Please review the USDA -FS map, <br />and either revise BRL's proposed route consistent with the USDA -FS map, or provide comments from <br />the USDA -FS indicating that the route proposed by BRL is acceptable to the USDA -FS. <br />If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Susan L.
