1 Memorandum to Christine Johnston <br />October 7, 1999 <br />' Page 13 <br />' • Extensive landslides occur in siltstones <br />below the Ohio Creek sandstones on the <br />' west side of Box Canyon near the <br />headwall (Figure 9). <br />' Location 15. Located on the second narrows <br />south of Location 14 above the southeastern <br />part of projected longwall Panel 20. <br />' • Overburden depth to the B-Seam is <br />approximately 2,200 ft. <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />• Cracks, a few inches to perhaps as much as '/~ <br />ft wide and trending generally parallel to ridge, <br />occur along the cliff edge. Unstable rocks are <br />locally present at cliff, which may fall any time <br />under natural processes. <br />• Large, unstable boulders are located <br />downslope from cliffedge on the east side. <br />• A rockfall is located S50°E of point across a <br />canyon that divides West Flatiron near the top <br />of the Ohio Creek Member (Figure 10). <br />Location 16. Located above the south-central part of projected longwall Panel 24 neaz base of <br />landslide that occurs upslope from drill road to West Flatiron. <br />• Overburden depth to B-Seam is estimated to be 2,000 ft. <br />• Construction of extensive tank traps appeazs to have mostly caused the slide. No slide <br />was present in the late 1970s, when I used this road during mapping for the USGS. <br />Location 17. Located at monitoring well 96-27-1 above the western part of the projected gate <br />roads between longwall Panels 14 and 15. <br />• Overburden depth to B-Seam is about 1,600 ft. <br />• Ron measured a water level depth of 1,234 ft on 7-23-99. <br />Wright Water Engineers, Inc., 2490 W. 26'" Avenue, Sle. 100A, Denier, CO 80211 <br />Tel. 303/480.1700; Fax. 303/480.1020, e-mail:knvrightQwrighlwater.com <br />l <br />
