Widely-spaced monuments aze one of three subsidence monitoring programs (PAP page 145). <br />The purpose was to provide general information of horizontal and vertical displacement (PAP <br />page 146). Effects of total recover were predicted to be relatively quick and of short duration. <br />Station 16 is cited (PAP, page 149), and was surveyed after total extraction (subsidence had <br />ceased). Subsidence over the 8E-2S panel in 1983 was of 1 to 1.5 feet (PAP page 150). However, <br />up to 6 feet is predicted (PAP, page 153) for some areas. A general lowering is anticipated, but <br />no large changes are anticipated (PAP page 154). No material damage or diminution of the <br />reasonable foreseeable use was predicted (PAP page 155). <br />A review of subsidence history of the points nominated for suspension of monitoring follows. <br />Survey information appears erratic at the beginning of each one, and is probably due to survey <br />accuracy. The last few years, of GPS surveys, appears to be more consistent. Locations <br />mentioned following refer to Map 1 of the application. <br />A history of subsidence of Station 14 is at Attachment 1. This station is reported as within the <br />angle of draw of entries work in 1996, and is located on the boundary of workings. The station <br />dropped in elevation about'/< foot some five years or more after near mining. Information <br />suggests there has been no subsidence for the last three years. <br />A history of subsidence of Station 15 is at Attachment 2. The application states that it was <br />affected by entries work in 1996 and is located on the boundary of workings. It appears to have <br />subsided about 3/4 foot between 2000 and 2002. Information suggests there has been no <br />subsidence for the last four yeazs. <br />A history of subsidence of Station 16 is at Attachment 3. The rise up to 1995 may be due to <br />survey technique. The application states that it is within the angle of draw of entries work in <br />1996. It is located at the boundazy of workings. Information suggests there has been no <br />subsidence for the last ten years. <br />A history of subsidence of Station 6 is at Attachment 4. The application states that it is within the <br />angle of draw of entries work in 1996. It is located at the boundary of workings. There was no <br />noticeable subsidence at that time. The station appears to have subsided about 1.5 foot between <br />2000 and 2001. Information suggests there has been no subsidence for the last four years. There <br />has been no significant subsidence for the last three years. <br />A history of subsidence of Station 81 is at Attachment 5. The application states that it directly <br />above pillaz extraction in 1996. It is located well within the area indicated as mined in 1996, <br />contiguous with an area mined in 1995. A drop of 0.4 foot is indicated, well below what might <br />have been anticipated. Information suggests there has been no subsidence for the last four years. <br />A history of subsidence of Station 82 is at Attachment 6. The application states that it is within <br />the angle of draw of entry work in 1995. It is located at the boundary of workings. A drop of 0.6 <br />
