2004 Geologic Hazard Field Observations <br />South of Divide Mining Area <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The 2004 West Elk color aerial photographs will provide good baseline images of all the features <br />in the South of Divide mining azea. <br />Observations in the West Elk mining area indicate that mining may at times accelerate the natural <br />landslide process, where there aze landslides that have already become unstable. However, based <br />on annual observations of the surface cracks and depressions in the landslide area on Jumbo <br />Mountain, above longwall panels 8 and 9, it was determined landslides are very likely only <br />related to natural mass-gravity movements and not related to mining. <br />831-032.621 Wright Water Engineers, Inc.
