<br />lion, Mining and Safety proposes
<br />to Approve with conditions Tech-
<br />nical Revision Application No. 83
<br />(TR -83) for the Bowie No. 2 Mine
<br />(Permit No. C- 1996 -0831, submitted
<br />by Bowie Resources, LLC. Bowie
<br />Resources, LLC (BRL) has proposed
<br />to expand the material storage area
<br />located east of the B Seam portals.
<br />The proposed material storage area
<br />is currently used to temporarily
<br />store the material excavated from
<br />the B Seam portal faceup. BRL is
<br />proposing to permanently relocate
<br />6,000 cubic yards of available B
<br />Portal backfill material and instead
<br />utilize it as cover material on Gob
<br />Pile #2. The relocation of the B Por-
<br />tal backfill material will result in the
<br />reclaimed ground surface being
<br />1.9' lower than the original ground
<br />surface over.the 4.5 acres of distur-
<br />bance at the B portal.
<br />The Bowie No. 2 Mine is a /an Un-
<br />derground coal mine located in
<br />Delta County /Counties, approxi-
<br />mately 5 miles NE of Paonia, Colo-
<br />rado. Coal interest is Federal and
<br />private, and the surface affected
<br />is Federal and private land. The
<br />permit area encompasses approxi-
<br />mately 9,196.50 acres.
<br />This proposed decision is based
<br />on a finding that the proposed
<br />operation will comply with all re-
<br />quirements of the Colorado Sur-
<br />face Coal Mining Reclamation Act,
<br />Section 34 -33 -101, at seq., C.R.S.,
<br />and the regulations promulgated
<br />thereunder.
<br />Copies of the proposed decision,
<br />including stipulations, are on file
<br />for public inspection at the Colo-
<br />rado Division of Reclamation, Min-
<br />ing and Safety, Room 215, Centen-
<br />nial Building, 1313 Sherman Street,
<br />Denver, Colorado 80203. Persons
<br />with an interest that may be ad-
<br />versely affected by the proposed
<br />decision may request a formal
<br />hearing before the Mined Land
<br />Reclamation Board on the pro-
<br />posed decision. Such request must
<br />be made within ten (10) days of the
<br />initial publication of this notice,
<br />must be in writing, and must state
<br />with reasonable specificity the rea-
<br />sons for the request and the objec-
<br />tions to the proposed decision.
