2.05.6(6) <br />2.05.6(6) Subsidence Survey, Subsidence Monitoring, and Subsidence Control Plan <br />(a) An inventory of all structures and renewable resource lands which exist within <br />the proposed permit and adjacent area. <br />Numerous structures are located within the proposed permit and adjacent <br />area along old State Highway 133. The structures are associated with the <br />old King Mine and a few private homes and outbuildings. The Fire Mountain <br />Canal and Deer Trail Ditch are also located along the old State Highway. <br />Since these structures are geologically below the coal seam to be mined, <br />they cannot be affected by subsidence in the traditional sense. However, <br />structures below the coal seam to be mined may be damaged by landslides <br />or rockfalls activated by subsidence. <br />The Hughes' cabins are located along Terror Creek in the central portion of <br />the mining area. The Jess Barrow Homestead is an old cabin located on the <br />north side of the West Fork of Terror Creek in a meadow at 7560 feet in <br />elevation. The Operator's Hubbard Creek fan site was located on the eastern <br />edge of the permit boundary. There are five houses/cabins located west of <br />Stevens Gulch Road. The Operator owns three cabins in the N/2 of Section <br />1, John Morrell owns a home in the S/2 of Section 1 and Barbara Chambliss <br />owns a home in the S/2 of Section 12 all in T1 3S, R92W, and are shown on <br />Map 27. <br />Numerous springs and ponds are located in the permit and adjacent area. <br />Groundwater within the formation could be considered a renewable resource. <br />A few decreed water rights are located within the permit boundary and <br />adjacent area. The Pitkin Mesa Pipeline Company has a 6" pipeline <br />(aqueduct) that runs parallel to Steven's Gulch, bisecting the far Western <br />edge of the permit boundary. <br />Portions of Hubbard Creek, Terror Creek, West Terror Creek and Stevens <br />Gulch are within the permit boundary and adjacent area. The Bruce Park <br />Dams are considered to be within the adjacent area. A landslide exists along <br />the west side of the Terror Creek Reservoir to the northwest of the western <br />TR -100 2.05-142- 03/15 <br />
