probably a contributing factor. Any movement of the pipe, by whatever means, would probably cause leakage at the rusted locations on the pipe. It is Ms. Tatum's position that the water pipe leaks and subsequent pasture damage occurred due to subsidence impacts associated with the adjacent Basin Resources mine. During the inspection, Ms. Tatum and David Berry also viewed and documented damage to the Tatum residence and garage. It is Ms. Tatum's position that new damage has occurred, in addition to the damages previously addressed with the above-referenced court and IBLA proceedings, and that the new damage to the Tatum residence and garage is a result of ongoing subsidence impacts from the adjacent Basin Resources Mine. The damage includes extensive cracking in walls and floor as discussed in more detail in the Tatum letter of October 30, 2000. Photographs of the residence and garage were taken as itemized below: Photographic Log - (Tatum Residence and Garage) Photographed October 25, 2000 35. Kitchen cabinet 36. Kitchen splash board 37.

As a result of this inspection, the DMG issues the attached Notice of Violation No. CV-2000-009 to Basin Resources, Inc. The Notice of Violation is issued because it appears that subsidence impacts, originating at the adjacent Golden Eagle Mine, operated by Basin Resources, are adversely impacting the Tatum residence, garage, water line and pasture. The permit document for this mine (Permit No. C-81-013) specifies that no such damage would occur. The previously referenced IBIS, ruling of July 26, 2000 found that the Basin Resources, Inc., Golden Eagle Mine did previously cause subsidence damage to the Tatum residence. The damages observed during the October 25, 2000 inspection are consistent with the damages previously attributed to subsidence impacts from the mine, as documented in the IBLA ruling. Because the damages observed during the October 25, 2000 inspection are consistent with the previously documented subsidence related damages, and based upon the statements of Ms. Tatum that the damages observed during this inspection occurred since the damages previously addressed by the IBLA, the DMG is issuing the attached Notice of Violation.
