INVENTORY OF STRUCTURES AND RENEWABLE RESOURCE LANDS Following is a list of structures and renewable resource lands: Two irrigation ditch structures exist within the permit area. The structures, known as the Huntington Irrigation Ditch, the Huntington Pond, the Huntington Pipeline and the Crawford Irrigation Ditch, act as surface, overland conveyances of water used for downstream irrigation, and overlay worked out portions of the mine. These ditches supply water to several small ponds, shown on Map King I-005. Portions of these ditches are comprised of buried pressurized PVC pipe which supply water to sprinkler irrigation systems. The Huntington Pond is an enlargement of a previously existing pond and supplies water to the Huntington Pipeline. The PVC pipe on the Crawford property runs generally parallel to the Crawford Irrigation Ditch. A two inch water line runs parallel to this PVC pipe and turns adjacent to Marc Crawford's home as shown on Map King I-005. This line supplies water to Marc's house. A two inch water line also is buried between the John Crawford home and the pond located just to the north. This line supplies water to John's house. Two home sites exist within the permit area. The homes of Marc Crawford and John Crawford are shown on Map King I-005. The Marc Crawford home is a modern home of log construction with a full concrete basement. The house is heated with propane and a tank is located on the west side. A power line is buried in a straight line between John's house and Marc's house. This home is only a few years old. A large block of un -mined coal will be left in place directly beneath to ensure no subsidence occurs in this area. Pillars will not be removed within 300 feet of Marc Crawford's home. A "Pre -Blast Survey" was performed on the Marc Crawford residence on July 22, 2000 by Harry L. Siebert, consultant. The results of this survey are included as a report and can be found in Appendix 12(4). The John Crawford home is an older frame house constructed on a stacked rock foundation. No mining is planned within 300 feet of John Crawford's home. Approximately 6 miles of barbed wire fence overlie the permitted area of the mine. These fences are for cattle control purposes and do not necessarily follow property lines. They are not shown on the maps included with this application. A two -track dirt road crosses the permitted area for about 2 miles diagonally from north-east to south-west across the Huntington property. Another two -track road crosses the Crawford property. An improved gravel road runs between Marc Crawford's house and John Crawford's house and is used as the primary access to Marc's house. Marc's telephone line is buried next to this road. These roads are shown on Map King 1-005. On and around the surface facility area of the mine are several buildings and structures. These include: shop, bathhouse, scale house, tipples, upper and lower pump houses, warehouse, sales office, electrical substation, power poles and lines, buried waterlines and power lines, septic system, wells, drainage ditches, settling ponds, buried culverts, vehicle storage barns, old bathhouse, old scale house, old Burnwell tipples #1 8v #2, and various haul roads. These buildings and structures are shown on Map King I-007. Aside from the above mentioned structures, there are no structures or renewable resources in the permitted or adjacent lands. There are no aquifers, recharge areas for aquifers, silviculture or irrigated pasture land. The locations of the Huntington Irrigation Ditch, the Crawford Irrigation Ditch and an "old ranch building" are shown on Map King I-005.
