March 2004 Seneca Coal Company *Seneca H W Mine Sedimentation Pond 016A As -built Stability Analysis ♦ 2 <br />• <br />2.0 RESULTS <br />Using the described inputs, the stability analysis indicates a static FOS of 1.7 for a downstream slope, <br />which meets the required FOS under applicable provisions of Rules 4.05.9 (6) and 4.05.9 (8) (b). The <br />SLOPE /W computer printouts, located in Appendix B, document all inputs and stability analysis <br />results. This stability analysis result is based on the assumption that construction practice employed <br />for this embankment resulted in embankment material compaction of at least 95% Standard Proctor. <br />3.0 REFERENCES <br />• Northwest Colorado Consultants (July, 1994).
