Sherman <br />Executive Director <br />Ronald W. Cattany <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 December 27, 2007. The decision due date is February 25, 2008. <br />In Technical Revision No. 52 (TR-52), Bowie Resources LLC is proposing to drill thirteen methane degas <br />wells in support of future mining in the northern section of the permit area, around Sheep Corral Gulch and <br />Dove Gulch. Along with the drill holes, there will be about 22.5 acres of surface disturbance from the <br />construction of associated drill pads and light use roads. Also included in TR-52 is a generic drilling mud pit <br />design for the incised pits that will hold the drilling fluids. Right of entry is through Federal Coal Lease <br />COC-61209. All of the disturbance proposed in TR-52 is on land that is managed by the USDA-Forest <br />Service. All of the proposed disturbance is within the approved permit area and will be bonded for <br />reclamation. <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 />. f, L <br />J seph J. dash <br />nvironmental Protection Specialist <br />JJD/Jrc <br />C-6-01 C1996083 JJD 12282007101251.doc <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines
