Fall 2013 Subsidence and Geologic Field Observations <br />South of Divide and Dry Fork Mining Areas (E -Seam) <br />maximum expected dynamic subsidence effects). Additional details regarding the observed <br />subsidence features can be found in Sections 3.2, 3.6, 3.7 and 3.14 of this report. Baseline <br />observations of MDW pads and access roads were completed above the western end of unmined <br />E -seam Longwall Panel E4 and above the eastern half of unmined E -seam Longwall Panel E5. <br />Lastly, cracks in MDW pads have been, and were, observed throughout the SOD above areas <br />where there has yet to be any mining activities. As discussed in previous subsidence reports, <br />evidence indicates that the observed cracks are the result of differential settlement of portions of <br />these pads where fill placement is the greatest. <br />831 - 032.795 Wright Water Engineers, Inc.
