SNOWCAP COAL COMPANY <br />Cameo Refuse Disposal Area No. 1 Inspection - 1St Quarter 2009 <br />On March 11, 2009, 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 dry. No seepage <br />was noted around the pile. The upper diversion ditch and collection ditches were <br />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 fourth quarter 2007. Approximately 500 tons or refuse generated from rail <br />removal located south of 1.9 road were hauled to the pile during the first quarter 2009. <br />Cover material has been pulled back from the slope to provide additional storage <br />volume. Compaction tests 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 as permitted in the design approved by <br />the DRMS. <br />Recommended maintenance: None ®®®aJFMA* <br />0% -11C % <br />3Ji s-E S`tovere 1' Date <br />° ®N o. 1923Q,- a <br />°41P /O A L 0 <br />a e®®
