The inspection was <br />performed by myself, John Effinger III, a registered professional engineer in the State of <br />Colorado since December, 1975. I have experience and knowledge in the design and <br />construction of dams, drainage control, hydrology and structures; including experience in <br />portions of the permitting process of coal mine facilities and permit compliance. <br />The purpose of this inspection and certification was to check for structural <br />weakness, erasion, other hazardous conditions and identify required maintenance and to <br />satisfy the requiremems of Rule 4.05.9 (]3) of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation <br />Board for Coal Mining. In addition to the on site inspection referenced above, actions <br />taken in preparing this certification inchrded review and discussion of applicable mine <br />maps and state regulations with yourself. <br />Said inspection was performed on a warm (78°), mostly sunny Wednesday mid- <br />morning by myself. Most of the site was traversed with a two wheel drive vehicle with <br />frequent stops and hrking trips around the impoundment. The following is a statement of <br />my professional observations and conclusions from this inspection: <br />The entire impoundment was examined for structural weakness, erosion, tears to <br />hypalon lining and other hazardous conditions. <br />A small amount of influent into pond at time of this inspection. <br />Sediments at influent. <br />
