Subsidence Survev, Subsidence Monitoring and Subsidence Control Plan <br />• <br />There are no dwellings or structures on lands overlying the coal to be <br />mined by Peerless Resources, Inc.. A survey of the area overlying the <br />planned mining activity has identified the following resource features <br />and facilities that could be affected by potential subsidence. <br />Recreational Lands. The only recreational use of the area above the <br />planned mining is far deer hunting. Likewise, because hunting is the <br />only recreational activity, subsidence or the potential of subsidence <br />should have no effect on any recreational uses of the area. <br />Existing Structures. No structures or dwellings exist in the area above <br />the planned mining. Therefore, potential for subsidence to existing <br />structures is not applicable to this permit application. <br />Roads. A lightly-used, four-wheel drive road passes over the area to be <br />• mined. This road has been used occasionally by local four-wheel drive <br />advocates; however, Peerless Resources, Inc. will limit access on this <br />road during actual mining activities. It is not anticipated that any <br />potential subsidence would result in damage to this type of vehicle use. <br />Grazing Lands. The steep slopes of the permit area are generally not <br />easily grazed by domestic livestock. Therefore, subsidence, if it <br />occurs, should have no effect on the use of the land for grazing. <br />Subsidence Monitoring Program <br />A monitoring system will be established within the permit area in order <br />to provide quantitative data regarding potential surface subsidence. <br />The areas above the planned mining will be monitored for subsidence as <br />shown on F~~ uric + w Z" and subsidence monitoring markers <br />will be routinely surveyed on a semi-annual basis to determine any <br />movement. <br /> <br /> <br />2.05-45 <br />
