Spring 2018 Subsidence and Geologic Field Observations <br />South of Divide and Dry Fork Mininq Areas <br />Figure 1. Northwestward view during our spring 2018 field visit of the exposed <br />bedrock on the north side of the E7-10 MVB pad showing sandstone rubble that <br />had fallen from the outcrop that was likely a result of longwall mining beneath this <br />area. <br />In addition, a nearly continuous 90 -foot -long set of differential settlement cracks (bearing <br />approximately N5°W) was observed at the southeastern portion of the pad, south of the pump <br />trailer (Figure 2). These settlement cracks had a maximum dimension of 1 inch in width and 6 <br />inches in depth. A 30 -foot -long subsidence crack was also observed on the pad near the northwest <br />corner with maximum dimensions of 2 inches in width and 4 inches in depth (Figure 3). <br />831-032.900 Wright Water Engineers, Inc.
