• 4.6.1.5.2 ' Description of Horst Possible <br />Consequence of Subsidence 1f <br />It Occurred on Structures or <br />Renewable Resource Lands <br />This section briefly discusses land use in the permit and adfacent area, <br />possible subsidence phenomena in the area and presents a description of <br />the worst possible consequences of subsidence. The description of worst <br />possible consequences 1s based on an engineering analysis utilizing <br />available literature sources and conservative estimates of maximum sub- <br />sidence and angles of draw. The engineering analysis also considers the <br />specific mining, geologic, hydrologic and surface environments present <br />in the permit and adjacent area. <br />• <br />Lend Use <br />The dominant land use in the permit and adjacent areas is coal mining. <br />fairly steep terrain and shallow-depth to bedrock have limited the sur- <br />face productivity of the tend. Minimal grazing constitutes the only <br />other existing land use. <br />Planned mining and subsidence are not expected to have a significant im- <br />pact on the existing land use in the permit and adjacent area. The post <br />mining land use is expected to remain the same as the pre-mining land <br />.~ <br />use. <br />15 <br />
