<br />SNOWCAP COAL COMPANY <br />Cameo Refuse Disposal Area No. 1 Inspection - 4th Quarter 2009 <br />On November 17, 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 earth <br />fill embankments. Nothing was observed during the inspection that would indicate the pile <br />has a potential for failure. <br />The south under drain was dry. The pile was dry. The terraces were dry. No seepage was <br />noted around the pile. The upper diversion ditch and collection ditches were inspected with <br />no problems noted. <br />The access road to the pile, which is the west extension of Haul Road No. 5, remains open <br />to accept coal and refuse material from other reclamation activities. The top of the pile was <br />being prepared to accept refuse from the clean-up at the unit train loadout and the McClane <br />Canyon Mine. Cover material is being removed from approximately 0.75 acres on the top of <br />the pile. Approximately 5,500 cubic yards of material from the unit train loadout were hauled <br />to the top of the pile and stockpiled by the end of the quarter. <br />Approximately 700 tons of refuse from the south portal reclamation project were hauled to <br />the pile 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. Cover <br />material has been pulled back from the slope to provide additional storage volume. <br />Compaction tests were not performed. <br />The pile is located in a remote area well away from human habitation. A failure of the pile <br />might damage the haul road and sediment pond located below the pile. However, a failure <br />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 pep" in tFtsign approved by the <br />DRMS.°®n °?. <br />,a Ito <br />Recommended maintenance: None' <br />?,o ° bZ 16 - 0 ? <br />Jamb` 13r `Sto er, }Date <br />P.E.
