~• <br />SECTION 3.0 - DESCRIPTION OF WORST POSSIBLE CONSEQOENCES OF <br />SOBSIDENCE ON STROCTORES AND RENEWABLE RESOURCE LANDS <br />This section briefly discusses land use in the proposed <br />mining area, describes predicted subsidence phenomena and presents <br />a description of the worst possible consequences of subsidence. <br />The subsidence calculations presented in this permit application <br />represent an engineering analysis based on the specific mining, <br />geologic, hydrologic and surface environments in the proposed <br />mining area at the Coal Ridge No. 1 Mine site. <br />3.1 LAND USE <br />• This section presents a brief description of the pre- and <br />post-mining land uses of the permit and adjacent area. <br />3.1.1 Structures <br />There are no buildings located within or immediately adjacent <br />to the proposed 5-year mining area. It is not anticipated that <br />the planned full-extraction mining and resulting subsidence will <br />have any impact on the existing or the planned structures in the <br />proposed permit area. <br />3.1.2 Resource Lands <br />There are presently no significant land uses within and <br />adjacent to the proposed 5-year mining area. There are no <br />developed surface or subsurface water resources within or adjacent <br />. to the proposed 5-year mining area. The majority of the permit <br />and adjacent area is undeveloped land that is not of any practical <br />value. Current land use in the proposed permit area consists <br />primarily of rangeland, cropland and wildlife habitat. An <br />page 12 <br />
