Cottony <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety has received a revision for the Bowie No. 2 Mine. The <br />revision was called complete on October 13, 2006. The decision due date is December 12, 2006. <br />In Technical Revision No. 44, Bowie Resources LLC is proposing to expand gob pile no. 2 to the west, <br />until it merges with gob pile no. 1. Originally, gob pile no. 2 was to have a capacity of 2,000,000 cubic <br />yards. However, the capacity was reduced to 800,000 cubic yards due to a reduction in the outslope angle <br />of the pile. The expansion of the pile through this revision would increase the capacity of the pile to <br />1,075,000 cubic yards. The drainage control and hydrology designs in this area would be modified. <br />However, all drainage from the gob piles would still be directed into either sediment pond D or sediment <br />pond F. All disturbance is on land owned by Bowie Resources LLC and is within the currently approved <br />permit area. <br />This revision is available for review at the Paonia Public Library, 140 Grand Avenue, Paonia, CO 81428. <br />If you have any questions, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />U,,~.a Y, <br />os`J e h J. ~udash <br />P <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />JJD/Ahd <br />M:\DS$WHD\TEMP\C-CI-01 CI996083 J1D 10132006085301.doc <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Active and Inactive Mines <br />
