<br />-\ BOWIE RESOURCES LIMITED <br />Bowie No. 1 Mine <br />Coal Mine Waste Bank Inspection - 4'" Quarter 1999 <br />On November 26, 1999, 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. All organic material and topsoil has been removed <br />ahead of the waste bank founding. The pile was dry and no seepage was noted around <br />the pile. <br />No coal mine waste was deposited in the pile during the quarter. There were no <br />drainage alterations and no new bench construction. No topsoil was salvaged during <br />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 haul road located below the pile. However, a failure of the <br />pile would probably not be a hazard to human life. <br />e~er~~~ <br />Recommend maintenance: None s°p~~~`t;`•': "'-•_ <br />~Ca ~ ~ `w <br />,J r ' ~ ~ <br />P.E~~jfp.,19230 ~.; ~~~:' <br />' ~.. ~...~ _.
