BOWIE RESOURCES LIMITED <br />BOWIE NO. 2 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 Bowie No. 2 Mine. <br />On March 25, 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. <br />Nothing was observed during the inspection that would indicate the pond has a <br />potential for failure. There was no appearance of erosion, instability, structural <br />weakness or other hazardous conditions. There are no required monitoring procedures <br />or instrumentation. There are no aspects which might affect stability. One <br />maintenance issue is the removal of sediment from all three ponds. Pond B had a <br />small pool of water. The water level of Pond C was above the primary spillway. The <br />bottom of Pond D was covered with water. There was no discharge from any of the <br />pond/impoundments. <br />The impoundments have the following estimated capacities: <br />IMPOUNDMENT CAPACITIES -ACRE FEET <br /> Water Sediment Total <br />Pond B 4.10 0.61 4.72 <br />Pond C 3.47 0.46 3.93 <br />Pond D 0.48 0.10 0.58 <br />Notes: <br />1. The capacity of Ponds B and C are shown on Maps 22-B and 22-C respectively. <br />The capacity of Pond D was certified by the undersigned on 12-30-97. <br />2. The sediment capacity of the ponds is less than shown in the table because of <br />interim sediment accumulation. <br />With the exception the <br />knowledge and beli~ <br />accordance with thy, a <br />.~ <br />be removed from the ponds, to the best of my <br />have been maintained as designed and in <br />applicable regulations. <br /> <br />~ <br />- o '7~- <br />tove <br />r ate <br />nal Engineer <br />No. 19230 <br />
