SNOWCAP COAL COMPANY <br />Cameo Refuse Disposal Area No. 1 Inspection - 4~' Quarter 2007 <br />On December 24, 2007, I performed the required quarterly visual inspection of the <br />Cameo Refuse Disposal Area No. 1 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. <br />The south under drain was dry. The pile was mostly snow covered and damp. The <br />terraces were generally snow covered. No seepage was noted around the pile. The <br />upper diversion ditch and collection ditches were inspected with no problems noted. <br />The access road to the pile, which is the west extension of Haul Road No. 5, remains <br />open to accept coal and refuse material from other reclamation activities. Approximately <br />700 tons of refuse from the south portal reclamation project were hauled to the pile <br />during the quarter (late October and early November). Cover material was pulled back <br />from the slope to provide additional storage volume. Compaction tests were not <br />performed. <br />The pile is located in a remote area well away from human habitation. A failure of the <br />pile might damage the haul road and sediment pond located below the pile. However, <br />a failure of the pile would probably not be a hazard to human life. <br />I certify that to the best of my knowledge and belief, that the fill and other aspects of the <br />Cameo No. 1 refuse pile have been constructed as permitted in the design approved by <br />the DRMS. <br />Recommended maintenance: None <br />~~~~~~~~ <br />q ~ ~ (..~ f, 9 ~~ <br />~~ o°'~::• ~ ~ <br />~y ~,,, ':C76 <br />~"~ ° ~ <br />~ ~~ <br />:) i t"?., <br />~~ m~ ~,r26 b~.:-:,,v~ <br />=.y. <br />Jamb ~~~tofve~;~~~ Date <br />P.E.
