In the referenced 2014 letter, HBET <br /> discusses significant seepage from the mine portal associated with excess irrigation above the <br /> mine. However, subsequent to the referenced letter, HBET has been involved in determining the <br /> source of the water and a geophysical investigation was conducted at the site for this purpose. <br /> Background <br /> As indicated above, HBET evaluated the risks associated with excess seepage from the South <br /> Portal of the Roadside Mine in June 2014. After completion of the referenced letter report, <br /> HBET was contracted by Snowcap Coal Company to evaluate the source of the water. HBET <br /> was informed by Snowcap that the seepage occurred after Mr. Rudolph Fontanari released <br /> irrigation water into a ditch on his property above a portion of the mine approximately 0.25 miles <br /> southwest of the portal. HBET was also informed that the increase in seepage from the South <br /> Portal occurred a very short time after the water was released in the ditch. This suggested a <br /> fairly open pathway between the ground surface and mine workings. <br /> TR-69 A14-14-1 09/16 <br />
