BOWIE RESOURCES, LLC <br />Bowie No. 1 Mine <br />Coal Mine Waste Bank Inspection - 4w Quarter 2006 <br />On December 20, 2006, 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 snow covered. No seepage or spoil springs were noted around <br />the pile. <br />-_- _- ~--_-- ---ti _ -°_ - ,_-- <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 haul road located below the pile. F~~wever, a failure of the <br />pile would probably not be a hazard to human life. o°p4pREG/s`e <br />~®~,P •e•••••• 1,~. <br />o a ~ E.
