Bowie NO. 2 Mine ON SNOW Permit Revision-05, Land Use Change Permit Dear Mr. Musick: On behalf of Bowie Resources, LLC, (BRL), enclosed is an application for a permit revision to revise the land use for the Loadout. The goal of this revision is to change the post mining land use from rangeland/undeveloped cropland to industrial. The land use change will affect the majority of the property at the Loadout. Bowie is the primary owner of the lands that are proposed to be changed with this revision, with the exception of a small area south of the river owned by Mark A. Roberts. Mr. Roberts has requested that the 'wye? portion of the track, south of the river, remain in its current con?guration. BRL currently has letter of intent with a company, Mining and Environmental Services, LLC (MES) that will use the loadout site. MES intends to use the site to consolidate equipment storage and maintenance activities that currently take place at various locations state wide. There will not be signi?cant grading or re-con?guring of the site. The shop, scale house and truck scale will remain in place. The multi-plate culvert that is under the Black Bridge Road will remain in place. The majority of the Highway 133 corridor in the vicinity of the Loadout is agricultural and residential, consisting of peach and apple orchards, and farming. However, directly across highway 133 an industrial parcel owned by Charles Chesnick and is used as an equipment storage area. Concurrent to this Permit Application submittal, Bowie will submit a Speci?c Development Permit application to Delta County. Delta County will be the municipality Jason Musick -2- October 24, 2016 that has regulatory authority over the property after a land use change and bond release are approved by DRMS.

(1) Surface Coal Mining Not applicable (2) Underground Mining Activities Reclamation Plan: Post-mining Land Uses The implementation of the detailed Reclamation Plan will restore disturbed land to a pre?disturbance use as irrigated hay crop. This will be physically accomplished by the regarding of the area to create approximate original contour, restoration of all drainage patterns to their original function, reapplication of available topsoil and seeding of the area with the appropriate seed mixture. Erosion will be controlled on newly seeded areas through the use of small contour furrows until the revegetation has been suf?ciently established. The land will also be protected from noxious weeds and other biological processes such as animal grazing. This is consistent with prior and present land uses. The areas in the bottom of the North Fork Valley and in the high country of the surround region have high recreation values and capacities to support recreational activities. The proposed post?mining land use is consistent with the historical land use of the disturbed area and responsive to stability and drainage considerations. Agricultural planting mixes, as outlined in Section are to be used in valley bottom areas best suited for cropland. (ii) The pre-mining land use of the loadout is rangeland undeveloped. cropland and industrial. The pre-mining rangeland undeveloped land use is located towards the end of the tail track southwest of the old coal stockpile area. The pre-mining cropland land use covers most of the loadout area. The pre-mining industrial land use is located southeast of the river where the lead track parallels the mainline track. Most of the loadout property will be converted to an Industrial post mining land use. The Operator has a letter of intent with Mining and Environmental Services. LLC (MES). MES plans to use the site as an equipment storage and equipment maintenance area. The area to be converted to an industrial post mining land use currently has a post mining land use of cropland. The site will be left mostly in its current con?guration. No signi?cant grading will occur. The shop will remain a shop/of?ce area. The old coal storage area will become an equipment storage area and will be accessed by way of a light use road in the footprint of the old rail spur which has been removed. The multi?plate. under the County Road, locally known as "Black Bridge Road" will not be removed. It will continue to be used as an overpass on Black Bridge Road, and will serve as a tunnel for the new landowner to PR-05 2.05-30 10/2016 ?2.05 APPLICATION FOR PERMIT FOR SURFACE OR UNDERGROUND MINING ACTIVITIES - MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR INFORMATION ON ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES. access the equipment storage area. The bridge over the river and the wye located south of the river will be used as a secondary access to the property. Following are some of the uses proposed for the industrial land use area: General Repair Shop Equipment maintenance and repair services Equipment rental and sales Parts sales Equipment manufacturing Fabrication services Engineering and consulting services Storage of equipment and contractor's supplies The proposed industrial use will commence once the land use change is approved by DRMS. MES will begin occupying the site with equipment and maintenance personnel. The proposed land use of industrial is compatible with adjacent land use. Map 6 shows that directly across State Highway 133, a large parcel of land has an industrial land classi?cation. Land usage along Highway 133 is sporadic, consisting mostly of agricultural with adjoining commercial and industrial land uses. The operator will have to secure a Speci?c Development approval from Delta County prior to commencement to the new land usage. The site will be regulated by Delta County, and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (Stormwater Discharge). As such, the activities are regulated to assure there is no actual or probable hazard to public health or safety nor will it pose actual or probably threat of water ?ow diminution or pollution contrary to State or Federal laws, Rules or Regulations. The Operator owns all the lands north of the river which will be changed from a cropland pre-mining land use to an industrial post-mining land use. The Operator will obtain a Speci?c Development Permit from Delta County if required by the County. Delta County will be the municipality that has regulatory authority over the property after the land use change and bond release are approved by DRMS. The landowner south of the river has indicated an interest in leaving the wye in place because it provides privacy and access to the property. With the exception of the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety and Delta County, no other state or local agencies' authorizations are required to achieve the post- mining land uses described above.
