Memo to Boulay Jhmbo Mountain Landsliding page 9 subsequently experienced subsidence and exhibited minor damage. Damage included minor cracking of reinforced foundational grade beam footings, separation of the slab-on-grade structural floor poured within the grade beam foundational footings, distortion of doorways resulting in sticking doors, and drywall cracking and drywall tape separation. It does not appear that major structural damage has occurred. Mr. Mautz informed the Division and MCC of the damage. Following inspection of the structure, MCC proposed and completed repairs to the structure, with Mr. Mautz's approval. MCC has subsequently compensated Mr. Mautz for diminution of the structure's value. Diminution of Reasonably Foreseeable Use and Value Mr. Mautz also alleges that the potential threat of subsidence due to undermining has caused his property to be devalued by $1,080,000 in the past several years. He offers as evidence of this devaluation two appraisals of the Chipeta Guest Ranch. The Division has been provided the cover letter for the earlier appraisal, performed by Gutierrez Appraisal Service. The Division has not been provided a copy of the actual appraisal report. Elisea C. Gutierrez performed this appraisal on December 15, 1995, "to estimate the Market Value". The cover letter states; "the property rights appraised are the fee simple title" and sets the Market Value at $2,500,000. Based upon this cover letter it is impossible for me to render any conclusions regarding the methodology or geotechnical accuracy of the appraisal. The Division has been provided the excerpts (pages 15, 16, 20, 21 and 69) of the appraisal report for the latter appraisal, performed by Landmark Valuation, Inc. as of June 4, 1996, which sets the market value at $1,435,000. The limited excerpts contain statements addressing slope stability and underground mining. The report states on page 20; "an inspection of the subject and surrounding area does not show evidence of unstable conditions." From this statement I conclude that the author is not experienced in the reconnaissance identification of unstable conditions. The report further states on page 20; "However, much of the property has been subject to underground coal mining..." It further states on pages 20 and 21; "Due to the extent of the mining activity, it is possible that soil subsidence may occur". Based on this statement, I conclude that the appraiser was aware of undermining and considered it in completing the appraisal. However, I can render no opinion regarding the methodology or accuracy of geotechnical opinions used in developing the appraisal opinion.
