BOWIE RESOURCES LIMITED <br />Bowie No. 2 Mine <br />Haul Road Along Old Railroad Bed Certification <br />This haul road segment begins at approximately station 5+00 on the haul road to the <br />portal bench and traverses along the old railroad bed that was used by the old King <br />Mine loadout. The haul road segment is approximately 2600-feet long and provides <br />access to the bottom (southern boundary) of the gob pile and to sediment ponds C and <br />D. The first 12000-feet of the haul road is subject to this certification (= station 100+00 <br />to station 120+00). Refer to Map No. 16, Haul Road Plan & Profile, Gobpile. <br />In accordance with Rule 4.03.1 (1)(d)(i), this certification has been prepared to certify <br />the haul road along the old railroad bed has been constructed as designed and in <br />accordance with the approved plan. <br />Since this haul road traverses the old railroad grade, the road embankment was not <br />actually constructed or reconstructed. The stability of the haul road should not be a <br />concern since the roadbed functioned as a railroad subgrade for many years up <br />through the mid 1970's. There are no springs or water seeps along the roadbed that <br />might compromise the stability of the haul road. <br />The permitted configuration of the haul road is a 20-foot wide roadway with an earth <br />and rock safety berm on the outside slope and a drainage ditch on the inside. Over six <br />inches of gravel surfacing was placed and compacted on the haul road segment during <br />the first full week of January 1998. <br />To the best of my knowledge and belief, the haul road alon~.t~e old railroad bed was <br />constructed as designed and in accordance with the ~~~r.,~ved ~p~~~~a <br />~~ `'` ^~o <br />~~ ~<,- - ; <br />Jarlie~ E.
