SNOWCAP COAL COMPANY <br />Cameo Refuse Disposal Area No. 2 Inspection - 4~' Quarter 2006 <br />On December 18, 2006, I performed the required quarterly visual inspection of the <br />Cameo Refuse Disposal Area No. 2 in accordance with Rule 4.10.2. <br />I, J. E. Stover, P.E., have a wide variety of experience in the design and construction of <br />earth fill embankments. Nothing was observed during the inspection that would indicate <br />the pile has a potential for failure. The pile was damp with snow cover on north facing <br />slopes. No seepage was noted around the pile. The upper diversion ditch was <br />inspected with no problems noted. The pile has been covered with the required 24 <br />inches of non-toxic material. <br />The pile is located in a remote area well away from human habitation. A failure of the <br />pile might damage the haul road and sediment pond located below the pile. However, <br />a failure of the pile would probably not be a hazard to human life. <br />The energy dissipaters located on the east and west end of the upper diversion ditch <br />need maintenance. Maintenance will involve the use of a large track mounted hoe. <br />Maintenance of the dissipaters will cause additional surface disturbance. Run-off from <br />the new disturbance will not be contained in a sediment pond. <br />I certify that to the best of my knowledge and belief, that the fill and other aspects of the <br />Cameo No. 2 refuse pile have been constructed as permitted in the design approved by <br />the DRMS. <br />Recommended maintenance: Energy dissipaters located on <br />diversion ditches need maintenance. <br />
