SNOWCAP COAL COMPANY <br />Cameo Refuse Disposal Area No. 1 Inspection - 2nd Quarter 2008 <br />On June 13, 2008, 1 performed the required quarterly visual inspection of the Cameo <br />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 dry. The terraces were generally dry. No <br />seepage was noted around the pile. The upper diversion ditch and collection ditches <br />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 prior quarter (late October and early November 2007). Cover material was <br />pulled back from the slope to provide additional storage volume. Compaction tests <br />were not 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 asp g4he design approved by <br />the DRMS. ®Sc'E°°s <br />mo.,? ?1l <br />®v ®Q cJTeJEh.- °??m`e ea- <br />Recommended maintenance: None ® 19230 ?'a a <br />0 8 Q: 4 <br />®®'(" ?'Z i? <br />?S'/n ?o <br />James E?tSver Date <br />P.E.
