Meg O'Shaughnessy 4163 RRoad / Paonia, CO 81428 III I II I II I II IIII III <br />sss <br />January 24, 1999 <br />Joe Dudash <br />Division of Mineral and Geology <br />1313 Sherman Street Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Re: Bowie Mine Technical Revisions <br />Dear Mr. Dudash, <br />;ECEIVED <br />JAN 2'7 1999 <br />•~s~on of Minerals & Geology <br />I am writing in regard to Bowie Resources Ltd.'s pending permit application for mining in <br />the Paonia, Colorado area and the technical revisions submitted to your offices in December of <br />1998. I have owned a home with my husband and two sons on Garvin Mesa in Paonia for 14 years and <br />intend to live here for many years to come. We bold shares in the Terror Creek and Reservoir <br />- - -Gompeny-to irrigate our 9-acres aud-large-garden,-which-aupples much-ofouFfood..-I-have many- <br />concerns with the plans for greatly increased production proposed in the Bowie Resouroes Ltd. permit <br />application, specifically th the technical revsions submitted by Bowie Resources Ltd. to your offices. <br />* I understand that Bowie Resources Ltd. is proposing an open stockpile with the capacity for 350,000 <br />tons of coal in this area and the construction of a coal conveyor from the portal , 3,300 feet to the coal <br />storage area, north and adjacent to old Hwy. 133. I am concerned about the possible contamination <br />of surface and ground water from the large open stockpile and the airborne pollution that may <br />result from the stockpile and the increased volume of coal to be transported by the proposed <br />conveyor. <br />* I understand that Bowie Resources Ltd. has proposed in the technical revsions, the relocation and <br />doubling in size of a sedimentation pond to be located south of old Hwy. 133, above the river. I feel <br />very strongly that this four acre foot sedimentation pond and its location above the river could <br />pose a risk to the river itself. Children swim in that river throughout the summer and their health and <br />the fish and other creatures who inhabit the river would be at risk from contamination. <br />* I understand that Bowie Resources Ltd. has proposed the changeover to a long wall mining <br />operation, increasing their production from 1.3 million tons to 4 million tons of coal per yeaz. What is <br />the source of additional water needed for the loagwall? Is it water that replenishes the springs in <br />our area, specifically those that feed the Terror Creek and Reservoir? As long wall mining poses <br />a greater risk of subsidence, I am greatly concerned about the threat to Terror Ditch water. <br />* As an individual who highly values the quality of life for all the residents of the North Fork Valley, <br />I feel that it is imperative that no permit be granted for increased production by Bowie <br />Resources Ltd. or any mining company until the Environmental Impact Statement, studying the <br />cumulative impact of all the mining and the proposed increases in this area has been completed. <br />* I urge you to schedule a public bearing to address Bowie Resources Ltd.'s requested revisions. <br />Thank you Mr. Dudash, for taking these concerns into consideration, <br />~" U <br />M g O' hnughnessy <br />
