<br />indicate that Property # 2~ (from Surface Rights Map, 2.03.40)- I ), currently owned by Truitt, was owned
<br />by Timmothy and Kelly Hebbard, at the time of the 1993 notification. Property # 2?a, cutrently owned
<br />by Truitt, was owned by Evelyn and David Nunn, at the time of notification. Property # 37, curtently
<br />owned by Amey, was owned by Arney at the time of notification. Property # 35a, currently owned by
<br />Hudson, was owned by Loren P, and Jean M. Martin, at the time of notification. A certificate of service
<br />signed by James E. Stover of MINREC, INC., on 8/ 19/93, indicates that property owners Hebbard, Nunn,
<br />Amey, and Martin, were sent copies of the notification of undermining at that time.
<br />The first property inspected on December 1, was the property owned by James Hudson. The Hudson
<br />property is located adjacent to the permit area in the NEf4 SE/4 Sec. l 1, denoted as Property # 35, on the
<br />Surface Rights Boundaries Map. Mr. Hudson was concerned with cracks in drywall, concrete foundation,
<br />and concrete basement floor in his house, which he thought might have been caused by Red Canyon Mine
<br />subsidence. The single story house with elevated front entrance and walkout basement was constructed
<br />in 1996. Based on compass bearings and pacing from the survey marker at the northeast comer of his
<br />property, the house, which faces north, is approximately 270 feet west, and 90 feet south of the northeast
<br />comer of the property. The eastern property fine in the vicinity of the house is the section line between
<br />Section l l and Section 12, which is the the western boundary of one "leg" of the permit area. The
<br />Hudson property was not undermined, but mine entries were located just to the east of the permit
<br />boundary in that location.
<br />Mr. Hudson pointed out various features he was concerned with, including hairline cracks in drywall on
<br />the walls and ceiling on the main floor of the house, foundation cracks with evidence of seepage, and
<br />cracks of various orientation on the concrete basement floor. Mr. Hudson stated that he had repaired
<br />drywall cracks on multiple occasions, and that the number and extent of cracks would have been more
<br />extensive, had that not been the case.
<br />The second property inspected on December 1, was the house owned by Leslie Truitt, Property # 2~,
<br />located in the SW/4 NW/4 Sec. 12. This property is located within the permit area, directly over the mine
<br />entries. The large two story log house with elevated front entrance and walkout basement was
<br />constructed in 1992. No indications of settling or cracking were apparent on the exterior of the house
<br />or adjacent property. Inside the house, there were some small gaps atjoints where horizontal beams or
<br />logs were joined with vertical support beams, the top of the door in the second story bathroom (l7A) and
<br />the top of the basement door to the outside (20A) were not flush with the door frames, and there were a
<br />few hairline drywall cracks in the second story bedroom. There were also a few narrow cracks across the
<br />concrete slab basement floor, but no visible cracks in the foundation.
<br />An additional property owned by Leslie Truitt was inspected on December 3. This property is designated
<br />#ZSa on the Surface Rights Boundaries Map, and is located immediately to the south of Property #25.
<br />T}tis property is also located within the permit area, directly over the mine entries. There is an older
<br />trailer house on this property, approximately 50 feet north of T-50 Road, in the SW/4SW/4NW/4 Sec.
<br />12. Mr. Truitt said the trailer was a 1978 model, but he was not sure when it was set in its present
<br />location. It was not included in the subsidence structures inventory. There is no cracking or settling
<br />apparent on the outside of the trailer or adjacent surface areas. The trailer is set on concrete block
