HONEYWOOD COAL COMPANY <br />HAMILTON MINE <br />IMPOUNDMENT YEARLY INSPECTION <br />In accordance with Rule 4.05.9(14), all impoundments shall be inspected at least yearly <br />to determine if the impoundment has been maintained as designed, and in accordance <br />with the approved plan and the applicable regulations. This yearly inspection is for the <br />impoundments located at the Hamilton Mine. <br />On November 21, 2002 I performed the required yearly inspection. I, J. E. Stover, have a <br />wide variety experience in the design and construction of earth fill embankments. Nothing <br />was obseved during the inspection that would indicate the ponds have a potential for <br />failure. There was no appearance of erosion, instability, structural weakness or other <br />hazardous conditions. There are no required monitoring procedures or instrumentation <br />other than quarterly_and yearly monitoring. There are no.aspects which-might affect- - <br />stability and there is no required maintenance. The impoundments were virtually dry so <br />there was no discharge. <br />Pond A was dry. Pond B had a pool of water 6 to 12 inches deep at approximate <br />elevation 5810. <br />Pond A is located north of Mining Area No 1. The design of Pond A is shown on drawing <br />117-A, revised 3-26-92. Pond B is located east of Mining Area No. 1. The design of <br />Pond B is shown on drawing 117 B, revised 11-4-92. <br />The impoundments have the following capacities based on the original pond certification <br />dated May 5, 1992 prepared by the undersigned: <br />IMPOUNDMENT CAPACITIES -ACRE FEET <br /> Water Sediment Total <br />Pond A 2.16 0.21 2.37 <br />Pond B 8.07 0.55 8.62 <br />Note: <br />The sediment capacity of the ponds may be less than shown in the table because <br />of interim sediment accumulation. <br />To the best of my knowledge and belief, the impoundments have been maintained as <br />designed and in accordan~g~tsa~proved plan and applicable regulations. <br />~~QP~,...,.,~STo <br />a !r ~ <br />~p~~.' k.S E SJp• ~c^ ~ <br />~~~~ ~„~~ <br />' ~ijes E.
