WORST POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF SUBSIDENCE <br />The two track road following the ridge line west of the project area is the <br />main structure on permitted or adjacent lands which could suffer <br />damage due to the effects of subsidence. In the event that a surface <br />subsidence crack were to intersect the road, it is possible that some <br />repair of the road would be required to allow its continued use. This <br />road is used primarily by the surface grazing lease holders of the State of <br />Colorado land for access to cattle rangelands in the north part of Section <br />36. Where subsidence cracks have intersected two track roads above <br />the existing King I Mine, repairs were made by shoveling less than a <br />pickup truck load of "road base" into the crack. <br />In the event that subsidence cracks damage any barbed wire fence within <br />the permit area (a fencepost could be dislodged or strands of barbed wire <br />could stretch and break or sag), GCC Energy, LLC will repair said fences <br />without charge to the surface grazing lease holder, or will reimburse the <br />lease holder for any repairs necessary. <br />The buildings and structures on and around the surface facility area of <br />the mine will not be damaged by subsidence because there are no <br />minable coal seams beneath this area. <br />SUBSIDENCE MONITORING PROGRAM <br />If mining occurs beneath, and pillars are removed, the operator will <br />inspect a fence for subsidence damage no later that in the spring after <br />the fence is undermined. The results of the inspection will be submitted <br />to the Division within 60 days after the inspection. <br />If mining occurs beneath, and pillars are removed, the operator will <br />inspect the two track road following the ridge line west of the project area <br />(see Map King II -005) for subsidence damage no later that in the spring <br />after the road is undermined. The results of the inspection will be <br />submitted to the Division within 60 days after the inspection. <br />GCC Energy, LLC King II Mine <br />Section 2.05.6 <br />Page 13 July 11, 2017 (RN -07) <br />
