This slide area was examined during the Division's field inspection of <br />March 17, 1998. The Division appreciates the notification provided by Bowie Resources. <br />The Division agrees with Bowie Resources that remediation work should not begin until <br />the ground has dried up. However, the Division is requesting additional information <br />concerning the proposed remediation plan, as well as the implementation of a slope <br />monitoring plan until the repair work can be performed. <br />Concerning the proposed remediation plan, the Division requests two things. First, the <br />Division requests that Bowie Resources provide additional descriptive data on the slide <br />area as it presently is. This data should include sketches of the longitudinal and cross- <br />sectional profile views of the slide, the amount of displacement at the head scarp, an <br />estimation of the volume of material that slid, and an estimate of the pre-slide slope <br />grade. <br />Second, the Division requests that Bowie Resources provide the details of a proposed <br />remediation plan, along with information that would document that this plan will result in <br />astable repaired slope. The details of the proposed plan should include longitudinal and <br />DIVISION OF MINERALS AND GEOLOGY <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />131 J Sherman $I., Room ? I i <br />Denver.
