Sherman <br />Executive Director <br />Ronald W. Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />RE: Bowie No. 2 Mine, Permit No. C-1996-083, Bowie Resources LLC <br />Technical Revision No. 53, Monitoring Well and Dewatering Well, <br />Request for Assistance <br />I am requesting your assistance in the review of the reclamation cost estimate for <br />Technical Revision No. 53 (TR-53) for the Bowie No. 2 Mine, submitted by Bowie <br />Resources LLC (BRL). In TR-53, BRL is proposing to drill one monitoring well into the <br />old Bowie No. 2 D-seam workings to see if water has accumulated there. BRL wants to <br />mine the B-seam underneath the D-seam workings but has to get rid of any water in the <br />workings above the B-seam. If water is found, the dewatering well will be drilled and <br />used to pump out the mine water and discharge directly into Hubbard Creek, provided the <br />water quality standards are met. <br />Attached is one complete copy of TR-53. This material was originally submitted under <br />Minor Revision No. 85. The Division decided that a technical revision was more <br />appropriate so MR-85 was withdrawn and resubmitted as TR-53. Therefore, the <br />designation of MR-85 appears on some of the TR-53 information. <br />The Division's adequacy review letter is due on Monday, February 25, 2008. If I could <br />get your review memo by Thursday, February 21, 2008, that would be great. If you need <br />anything else, please let me know. Thanks for your assistance! <br />Attachments <br />cc: Sandy Brown (without attachments) <br />c:/word/bowie2/tr53bondmemo 1 <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines
