Bond Release Application No. 1 (SL -1) Division of Reclamation,
Permit C-1996-083 Mining & Safety
Dear Mr. Musick:
CIVIL ENGINEERING
CONST. MANAGEMENT
The DRMS' letter dated June 25, 2015 transmitted its adequacy review for the bond release
application. On behalf of Bowie Resources, following are its responses to the adequacy review.
1. DRMS - The SL -1 bond release application states that there are 184 drill holes and 2 shafts that
have been permanently abandoned and sealed that are eligible for Phase I, II, and III bond
release. No acreage amount was identified for the 184 drill sites nor the two shafts proposed
to be eligible for Phase I, II, and III bond release. Please revise the bond release application to
include the total number of acres associated with all lands requested for bond release.
BRL - Drill holes and the two shafts were permitted separately from their associated drill pad
disturbance and shaft site disturbance. The bond release application indicates there are over
50 acres of drill sites eligible for phase I or phase I and II release. Most of the drill holes eligible
for bond release are located on one of the drill sites eligible for bond release. Some of the drill
holes eligible for bond release were drilled within the confines of a road and some are located
on drill sites that are not subject to this bond release application. The bond release application
also states the Hubbard Creek and Freeman Gulch shaft sites are eligible for bond release. The
sealed shafts lie under the reclaimed shaft site disturbance.
2. DRMS - As a part of the SL -1 bond release application, the revised Bowie No. 2 Mine 2014
Annual Reclamation Report map was included. The 184 drill holes and two shafts proposed to
be eligible for Phase I, II, and III are not delineated on the map. In addition, the 7.4 acres on
gob pile #1 and #2 proposed to be eligible for Phase I bond release were not delineated on the
map. Please submit a map or revise the submitted map to include all areas in which bond
release is requested.
BRL - The drill holes are now delineated on the map by sequential numbers with a circular
yellow background. Text was added next to the two shaft sites indicating they were eligible for
bond release. Text was added next to the areas on gob pile #1 and #2 indicating the outlined
