SNOWCAP COAL COMPANY <br />South Portal <br />Roadside Refuse Disposal Area Inspection - 3rd Quarter 2004 <br />On September 16, 2004, I pertormed the required quarterly visual inspection of the <br />Roadside Refuse Disposal Area 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 entire pile was dry including the terraces. There <br />was no seepage noted around the pile. The upper diversion ditch was inspected with no <br />problems noted. <br />A failure of the pile would probably not be a hazard to human life. Even though the pile <br />is fairly close to the Interstate 70 east bound lanes, if the coal mine waste bank failed, it is <br />unlikely the material would move far enough to encroach upon the freeway. <br />I certify that to the best of my knowledge and belief, that the fill and other aspects of the <br />Roadside refuse pile have been constructed as permitted in the design approved by the <br />DMG. <br />Od~~,n~`® ~Sr® <br />Recommended maintenance: None eo~PS°^°,-°°=~~~ F® <br />Ye~~'e°4. -,a O~ <br />Ja e P ~ ;Stover ~~~ ~,~ <br />P.E.
