<br />Memo to Joe Dudash <br />Bowie No. 2 Mine, TR-06 Geotechnical Adequacy <br />page 2 <br /> <br />stable during operation and following reclamation. As in the case of [he transfer station cut <br />slope, I suspect that [he material strength information required to complete this specific analysis <br />has also been derived earlier in the permitting process at the Bowie No. 2 Mine. <br />(3) Relocated Pond B <br />In order to accommodate the coal storage pad, BRL proposes to relocate Pond B to a location on <br />the down slope side of Old State Highway 133. It appears that [he up slope portion will be <br />excavated while the down slope earthen embankment will be super elevated above the existing <br />topography. BRL should provide a stability analysis of both the cut slope and embankment to <br />demonstrate that they will remain stable during operation and following reclamation. As in [he <br />cases of both the transfer station and the coal storage pad cut slopes, I suspect that the material <br />strength information required to complete these analyses has also been derived earlier in the <br />permitting process at the Bowie No. 2 Mine. In this instance, however, test pits may be required <br />to verify that similar materials have previously been collected for mechanical analysis in the <br />laboratory. <br />cc: Larry Routten <br />doc: C:\COALUAP\BOW2TR06.WPD <br />JP/jP <br />
