Fall 2013 Subsidence and Geologic Field Observations <br />South of Divide a d Dry Fork Mining Areas (E -Seam) <br />4.10 Traverse G -G' <br />Traverse G -G' (previously known as Traverse L -L') originates at Dry Fork Road (Traverse C -C') <br />east of Minnesota Reservoir and follows) Horse Gulch Road northward to a fork that either leads <br />either to Apache Rocks (westward) or Sylvester Gulch/West Flatiron (eastward). No changes were <br />observed along this traverse from previo *s observations. <br />4.11 Photographic Observation Point 4 <br />This photographic observation point (formerly Photographic Observation Point 6) was not visited <br />during the spring 2014 field visit becau4e it is considered to provide little value as an overview <br />observation given the current mining activities. This location is more difficult to visit than other <br />overview locations in that it requires ac4ess by foot through dense scrub oak and by scrambling <br />over several sandstone outcrops. As a re�ult, this location will be dropped from future reports. <br />4.12 Photographic Observation Point 5 <br />This location (formerly Photographic Observation Point 7) was established on September 27, 2007 <br />at the MCC monitoring station that ovlerlooks Monument Dam and Minnesota Reservoir for <br />reference purposes (see Maps 1 and 2). From this location, various features associated with a large <br />landslide south of the Minnesota Reservoir can be readily identified including the head scarp, <br />hummocky topography, and numerous spring and wetland areas indicating discharge locations for <br />water stored within the landslide mass. Figure 16 provides a spring 2009 overview of Minnesota <br />Reservoir, Monument Dam, and the landslide area to the south (background) of the reservoir. <br />Figure 17 shows the Monument Dam ar�a during spring 2014 for comparison. <br />831 - 032.796 Wright Water Engineers, Inc.
