• The operator has been able to excavate the central ridge and also develop cover <br />material from the ridges east and west of the gob pile. By excavating material fro <br />ridges east and west of the gob pile, the capacity of the gob pile will be increased <br />addition cover material generated. The operator has decided to haul some of this <br />material to the highway stockpile located east of the Bowie No. 1 Mine Loadout. <br />highway stockpile is part of the Bowie No. 1 Mine permit, however it is being trans <br />to the Bowie No. 2 Mine. <br />The cover material will be utilized to perform interim reclamation at the highway <br />stockpile. Approximately 10,000 cubic yards will be utilized to cover the highway <br />stockpile area with about 12-inches of dirt. <br />m the <br />and <br />cover <br />The <br />ferred <br /> <br /> <br />The DMG has a concern the stability of the gob pile may be compromised by the <br />excavation of material from the ridges east and west of the pile. I, J. E. Stover, P.E., <br />have a wide variety of experience in the design and construction of earth fill <br />embankments. I have inspected this gob pile quarterly beginning in December 1997. <br />have reviewed the gob pile stability analysis located in Volume iV and in Volume VII, <br />Tab 8. It is my opinion the excavation of material from the ridges east and west of the <br />gob pile, and subsequent filling the area with c~p~~aob, will not compromise the <br />stability of the gob pile. ee~P°°°•E••°•.°F,y~ <br />~. ~ S ST~• F <br />10 r~ G°O~ <br />0 •J'S /t ~~7r1~ ~[ ~ <br />Volume IV <br />12i - <br />M R-17 <br />7101 <br />
