<br />..~ <br />Lift thicknesses, material consistencies and placement procedures appear to be in <br />compliance with Terra Matrix re-evaluated stability analysis. <br />Minor erosion channels were observed in several slopes on the active pile and <br />evidence of hay bales installed to check erosion on the steep slopes of the <br />reclaimed pile appear to have functioned well. <br />Vegetation on the reclaimed face appeared to be in good condition. <br />Review and discussion of compaction testing and test results verified that <br />compaction to minimum dry density of 52 psf on the fines material was being achieved. <br />Compaction testing is scheduled semi annually and the results from this quarter's <br />inspection were reviewed. <br />•A summary of my comments and recommendations for this quarterly inspection <br />include continuous monitoring of lift thickness and materials consistency and any erosion <br />damage. <br />To the best of my knowledge, based upon my professional expertise, the <br />permanent coal refuse stockpile at the Southfield Mine is being constructed in <br />conformance with the prudent state-of--the-art of earthen embankment construction. <br />I hereby certify, based upon my field observations and professional investigations, <br />as detailed here above, that the permanent coal refuse stockpile at Energy Fuels Coal, <br />Incotporated's Southfield Mine, located in Fremont County, Colorado, is being <br />constructed and maintained in compliance with the approved refuse disposal plan of the <br />Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division. <br />
