None of the pre-existing cracks appear to have grown, and <br />most are filling in naturally, which is usually the case. There is no indication that any areas around the <br />Crawford residence have moved. <br />An inspection and subsidence survey was performed on January 3, 2006 by Maness & Associates, <br />Registered Land Surveyors of the various subsidence monitoring points on the Crawford Ranch property. <br />This survey again revealed no movement. Please find enclosed results of that survey. <br />Inspections of other areas, including the Huntington and Crawford Ditches, revealed no adverse effects <br />from subsidence. <br />Please call if you have any questions. <br />Sincerel <br />- / <br />Tom Bird <br />Manager, Coal Services <br />National King Coal, LLC <br />
