Box 1612 <br />Paonia, CO 81428 <br />Re: Bowie No. 2 Mine (Permit No. C- 1996 -083) <br />Revision: TR -71 <br />Mine Plan North Extension <br />Dear Ms. Sauter: <br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety has received a revision for the Bowie No. 2 Mine. <br />The revision was called complete on January 31, 2012. The decision due date is March 31, 2012. <br />Bowie is expanding its mine plan to the north and has applied for a lease modification so it can mine <br />four additional longwall panels. This technical revision will allow north mains and gate road <br />development within the approved permit boundary. A permit revision will be submitted to expand <br />the permit boundary to encompass the four longwall panels to the north shortly before the lease <br />modifications are approved. <br />This revision is available for review at the Paonia Public Library, 2 Third Avenue, Paonia, CO <br />81428. <br />If you have any questions, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Brock F.
