I am requesting your <br />assistance in the review of BRL's response submittal. As you remember, BRL is proposing to construct <br />mains to the west under Terror Creek and between two high voltage transmission line towers. BRL is also <br />proposing to room and pillar mine in an area that lies to the north of the current mains and adjacent to <br />Terror Creek. Finally, BRL is proposing to drill a geotechnical hole in anticipation of constructing a vent <br />shaft on the west side of Terror Creek (BRL is now exploring a location on the east side of Terror Creek). <br />The questions in the Division's January 8, 2010 adequacy review letter were divided as follows: <br />Mike Boulay -------Questions Nos. 1 through 4. <br />Kent Gorham-------Question No. 11 (Public Notice of the Mining Schedule) <br />Marcia Talvitie ----Questions Nos. 14 through 19 (answered with the submittal of a new overburden <br />stability report) <br />The decision due date for TR-65 was extended to March 5. I would appreciate getting your response <br />review memos back by Thursday, February 25, 2010. A complete copy of BRL's TR-65 response <br />submittal, dated February 3, 2010 and received at the Division on February 5, 2010, has been scanned <br />under TR-65 for Bowie No. 2. The submittal cover letter, new overburden stability report and revised <br />pages were scanned under doc name "Adequacy Response No. 1" with a doc date of 2/5/2010 and a time <br />stamp of 2/9/2010.

If anyone would like a hardcopy of any of the <br />material, please let me know.
