Fall 2016 Subsidence and Geologic Field Observations <br />South of Divide and Dry Fork Mining Areas <br />Also in keeping with the goal of a reduction in report size, future reports will focus on the <br />identification and discussion of those observations that reflect an obvious change in the conditions <br />overlying the active portion of the mine and on documenting baseline conditions in areas that have <br />yet to be mined. For this reason, observations from our fall 2016 field visit were focused on areas <br />above E -seam Longwall Panels E5 and E6 in the SOD and Dry Fork mining areas. <br />Readers should note that observations are discussed relative to traverses along segments of drill <br />roads providing access to drilling pads containing methane ventilation boreholes (MVBs). Given <br />the dynamic nature of the mining activities (i.e., adding and reclaiming of road segments and MVB <br />pads), future naming of traverses will likely vary from report to report. Efforts will be made, as <br />practical, to keep traverse names the same. Specific nomenclature for observed features will be <br />regularly represented on Map 1 of each report. <br />831-032.798 Wright Water Engineers, Inc. Page 6 <br />January 2017 <br />
