• Aside from the above mentioned structures, there aze no structures or
<br />renewable resources in the permitted or potentially affected adjacent
<br />lands. There aze no aquifers, recharge areas for aquifers, silviculture or
<br />irrigated pasture land.
<br />WORST POSBIBLE CONSEQUENCEB OF
<br />The two track road following the ridge line west of the project area is the
<br />main structure on permitted or adjacent Iands which could suffer
<br />damage due to the effects of subsidence. In the event that a surface
<br />subsidence crack were to intersect the road, it is possible that some
<br />repair of the road would be required to allow its continued use. This
<br />road is used primarily by the surface grazing lease holders of the State of
<br />Colorado land for access to cattle rangelands in the north part of Section
<br />36. Where subsidence cracks have intersected two track roads above
<br />the existing King Coal Mine, repairs were made by shoveling less than a
<br />pickup truck load of "road base" into the crack.
<br />In the event that subsidence cracks damage any bazbed wire fence within
<br />the permit area (a fencepost could be dislodged or strands of barbed wire
<br />could stretch and break or sag), National King Coal, LLC will repair said
<br />• fences without charge to the surface grazing lease holder, or will
<br />reimburse the lease holder for any repairs necessary.
<br />The buildings and structures on and around the surface facility area of
<br />the mine will not be damaged by subsidence because there are no
<br />minable coal seams beneath this azea.
<br />8UB8IDENCE MONITORING PROGRAM
<br />The operator will inspect a fence for subsidence damage no later that in
<br />the spring after the fence is undermined. The results of the inspection
<br />will be submitted to the Division within 60 days after the inspection.
<br />The operator will inspect the two track road following the ridge line west
<br />of the project area (see Map King II-005) for subsidence damage no later
<br />that in the spring after the road is undermined. The results of the
<br />inspection will be submitted to the Division within 60 days after the
<br />inspection.
