Fall 2015 Subsidence and Geologic Field Observations <br />South of Divide and Dry Fork Mining Areas <br />Figure 8. Southwestward view of the road southwest of the MVB E5-17 pad showing one of <br />several subsidence cracks observed along this reach. This crack was the result of longwall <br />mining beneath this area that occurred 1-2 weeks prior to our spring 2015 field visit. <br />A photograph obtained from approximately the same location with the same orientation during our <br />fall 2015 field visit finds little remaining evidence of the subsidence crack (see Figure 9). <br />Figure 9. Fall 2015 view of the same area shown in Figure 8. Note that there is no continued <br />visual evidence of the subsidence crack in the middle foreground. <br />831-032.797 Wright Water Engineers, Inc. Page 16 <br />March 2016 <br />
