Given the poealble closeness of the mine workings and the timing of mining, in <br />our opinion mine subsidence provides a reasonable explanation for the damage that has <br />been observed. <br />In summary, the Tatum reeidence has been damaged by settlement or displacements that ere <br />primarily evident In the two-story portion of the residence. However, recent cracks appear in <br />other portions of the structure also. We have Considered a variety of reasons for the damage <br />that has occurred. Evidence does not exlet to categorically attribute the damage to a specific <br />cause; therefore, judgment has to be applied. Considering the possible causes of the damage, <br />h Is our opinion that surface movements due to coal mine subsidence are a likely reason for <br />the damage. <br />In this report, ws have prosentad judgemeMS end opinions using existing data and our <br />understanding of eke condltlona.
