located and all the areas identified as likely to be affected by subsidence (as discussed in Dunrud, 1976) ,sere delineated as having surface effects. • The, unsuitability criteria ore.re then applied indivicually to the areas identified as having surface effects. Each criterion wzs applie_ individually and mzps were developed showing the ap~liczbility of the criterion. Then after all criteria had been applied, the e>:cepticns of ' each criterion found to be applicable ere re then exarined to determine if the excepticr,s were also zpplicabi.e. Finally, after the process had been completed, a sum:r~ary, stating the conclusions of the report wzs written. In this report, however, the criterion, its applicability, the maps, and the exceptions will be grouped together in order Le provide a more organized analysis. Unsuitability Criteria (See Attach.^,.ent 1, Federal Re:,ister, 1'0l. 43, Pdo. 231--Friday, Decer~ber ~, 197 Criterion ilo. 1 -- Federal Land Systems Analysis: None of the federal lands in this 864 acre tract lia in any of the land syster,s cr categories listed in the criterion. • Criterion ..c. 2 -- Rights-of-gray and Easements Analysis: The h;aster~ Title Plat for T. 13 S. , R. 91 t;. , _ 6th P.f•;., indicates that a riche-of-way has been Granted • across the surface of ii;il/4 c` Sec. 18 to Crand I:esa Television Cor:pany of Paonia, Colorado, for a TU translator and power cable. The translator site is located on a praninent ridge crest. Plo surface facilities are planned for file area, and, therefore, the only aspect of the proposed mining operatio:, that could affect the use of the right-of-::ay would be subsidence features resulting free retreat mining cf the coal underlying the area.
