,1 met with Mike Berry, Huddleston -Berry Engineering, this afternoon at the Roadside South Portal. Upon <br />completion of the field inspection and reviewing information provided by Snowcap Coal, it is Mike's initial <br />assessment that there is not imminent danger of failure at the sealed /backfilled portals. Mike will prepare a <br />more detailed report and submit it to Snowcap Coal Company and J.E. Stover and Associates, Inc. by <br />tomorrow afternoon, which we will share with the DRMS upon receipt. Feel free to contact me with any <br />questions. I will be going out to the site first thing in the morning to monitor the situation and will keep you <br />informed. <br />Tonya Hammond <br />On Wed, Jun 18, 2014 at 3:22 PM, Tonya Hammond <tonya.snowcap @bresnan.net> wrote: <br />Dave, <br />I was out at the site this morning to monitor the water seepage /discharge from the reclaimed South Portal <br />and check on Mr. Fontanari's irrigation ditches. As you are aware, Mike Boulay called Mr. Fontanari <br />yesterday afternoon and asked that he discontinue flow in his ditches. I arrived at the site at 9:30 this <br />morning and noted that the irrigation water in both the upper and lower irrigation ditches had ceased <br />flowing. I then checked Outfall 016 and it was flowing at 274.3 which is an average flow. I then drove up and <br />checked on the flow from the seepage at the South Portal area. It appeared to be the same flow as we <br />observed yesterday (approx. 45 to 60 gpm) and the damp area on the southern portion of the portal backfill <br />(where the backfill abuts the natural geology) has not increased. There is still the same small seepage from <br />under an existing concrete wall on the north side of the portal backfill. I am meeting with Mike Berry, P.E., <br />with Huddleston -Berry at the portal site today at 4:00 p.m. to get his professional assessment of the <br />situation. I have forwarded both of your a -mails to Snowcap Coal Company management and am waiting to <br />hear their response /directions in regards to your latest e-mail. I will update you as soon as I have additional <br />information. Thank you for your help in this matter. <br />Tonya Hammond <br />Snowcap Coal Company, Inc. <br />J. E.
