The revision was submitted by Bowie Resources Limited. All <br />review and comment periods as provided in [lie Act and the Regulations initiate from this date of filing. <br />Approval of this technical revision would slightly modify the designs already approved in Permit Revision No. 3 for the <br />proposed new Pond B. Based on the results of a geotechnical stability report, the construction of the pond will be changed so <br />that a pond cut slope and the pond embankment inslopes will be slightly Flatter. The pond volume would increase by 0.19 <br />acre-feetaz a result of the redesign. In addition, this technical revision would provide for the construction of a material storage <br />shed just north of the main topsoil stockpile. <br />The underground coal mining operation is on land located approximately 5 miles northeast of Paonia, Colorado. The permit <br />area is further described az follows: <br />Portions of Sections 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 1 I, 14, I5, and 16, Township 13 South, Range 91 West of the 6th P.M. <br />The above-mentioned trace of land are shown on USGS 7.5 minute Quadrangle map of Bowie. <br />A copy of the technical revision application is available Far public inspection at the Paonia Public Library, 140 Grand Avenue, <br />Paonia, CO, and at the Division office.
