BOWIE RESOURCES, LLC <br />Bowie No. 1 Mine <br />Coal Mine Waste Bank Inspection - 3rd Quarter 2007 <br />On September 28, 2007, I performed a quarterly visual inspection of the Bowie No. 1 <br />Mine coal mine waste bank 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 is basically filled to capacity. The pile and <br />surrounding areas were dry. No seepage or spoil springs were noted around the pile. <br />No coal mine waste was placed in the pile during the quarter. There were no drainage <br />alterations and no new bench construction. No topsoil was salvaged during the quarter. <br />The design of the waste disposal area is presented in Volume 6A. To the best of my <br />knowledge and belief, based on my inspection of the pile and previous inspections by <br />professional engineers, the coal mine waste bank has been constructed in accordance <br />with the approved plan. <br />The pile is located in a remote area well away from human habitation. A failure of the <br />pile might damage the mine <br />pile would probably not be a <br />caul road located below the pile.,lrgr, a failure of the <br />hazard to human life. ~~P~~...er',~sl`° <br />Recommend maintenance: None <br />•D~~~F,S E STOq ~~a <br />° '~ 19230 °'~ ° <br />°*: ~ ° <br />° <br />aA ~, i ~~o~ ~i <br />James E. dy°°" "°•° Eta ~ Date <br />P.E.
