RECEIVED <br />BOWIE RESOURCES LIMITED APR 0 7 2003 <br />BowieNo. 1Mine n,ti.::.;.~;.~r.,::.:..;::=a;,,•,,.~ <br />Coal Mine Waste Bank Inspection - 1"Quarter 2003 <br />On March 31, 2003. I pertormed a quarterly visual inspection of the Bowie No 1 Mine <br />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 <br />indicate the pile has a potential for failure. The pile is basically filled to capacity. The <br />pde and surrounding areas were dry to damp- No seepage was 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 <br />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 Ijte: <br />~... . <br />e" <br />r.. <br />Recommend maintenance: None ~ ~, ; ;, <br />~: ; , , <br />. , <br />~~, / ~ <br />°~rries E.
