MANAGEMENT <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining & Safety RF^cIVED <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />MAR 3 -12015 <br />Re: Bowie Resources, LLC, Bowie No. 2 Mine Division <br />Technical Revision #100, Mine Plan Sequence Mining &Safety <br />f Reclamation, <br />Permit C- 1996 -083 <br />Dear Mr. Musick: <br />On behalf of Bowie Resources, LLC, (BRL), enclosed is an application for a technical revision to revise the <br />mine plan and sequence for the twelve northern longwall panels. The current mine plan projects mining <br />an east panel then a west panel sequentially from south to north. The revised mine plan projects mining <br />the east panels from south to north and then the west panels from north to south. <br />The affected area associated with panels B -22 and B -23 (the northern two panels) extends beyond the <br />permit boundary. Longwall mining will not be conducted in panels B -22 and B -23 until BRL is able to <br />expand its permit boundary to encompass the subject affected area. The permit expansion may be <br />handled as a federal coal lease modification or a right -of -entry granted by the USDA -FS. This language <br />was added to Section 2.05.3 on page 2.05 -8. <br />BRL recently purchased the Turkey Track Ranch property. Therefore, any subsidence damage to the <br />cabins on the property will be the responsibility of BRL. <br />The affected area increased to 7328.51 acres as a result of this revision. This is an increased of 177.97 <br />acres. There is no additional disturbed area. <br />Sincerely, <br />J. E. Sfovfx <br />J. E.
