Box 1488 <br />Paonia, Colorado 81428 <br />RE: Subsidence Survey <br />Bowie No. 1 Mine <br />On August 22, 23 and 26 of 2002 Cragg Surveying conducted the subsidence survey for the <br />Bowie #1 Mine. <br />This survey has been based on control monuments established by Colorado Westmoreland, Inc, <br />and later Cypress Coal. They have been in place for several years. The monuments are <br />4 inch iron pipes with a fixed plate which allows the instrument to be placed directly on <br />top of the monument. <br />The survey has been performed by different personnel over the years. Westmoreland and Cypress <br />surveyors up through September of 1994. Ute Engineering and Surveying from June, 1995 <br />through November of 1997. Currently Cragg Surveying is now performing the surveys. <br />Past surveys have relied on the Westmoreland values for these control monuments. In May <br />of 2(X11 Cragg Surveying established survey control for aerial photo mapping for the reGamation <br />of the Bowie #1 Mine Site. This survey control was performed using GPS survey methods <br />calibrated to mine control points, Stations F, G and S. These stations are south of the mined <br />area and not subject to subsidence due to mining activity. However Stations B and C are over <br />mined out areas of the mine and subject to possible subsidence <br />When using this GPS survey there is a change in the values for Stations B, C and E <br />The following table shows the coordinate value for each subsidence station from the original <br />Westmoreland Survey Data to the Cragg Surveying GPS values of November 2001 and August 2002. <br />Coordinates for these monuments are as follows: <br /> Northing Easting Elevation <br />Station B Westmoreland 16921.18 8754.49 8146.79 <br />Cragg GPS Nov 2001 16919.97 8756.43 8145.33 <br />Cragg GPS Aug 2002 16919.91 8756.49 8145.31 <br />Station C Westmoreland 17750.57 8741.52 8148.05 <br />Cragg GPS Nov 2001 17749.05 8743.46 8147.36 <br />Cragg GPS Aug 2002 17749.05 8743.51 8147.25 <br />Station E Westmoreland 18257.47 17859.89 8572.82 <br />Cragg GPS Nov 2001 18256.67 17859.44 8573.23 <br />Cragg GPS Aug 2002 18256.72 17859.47 8573.33 <br />
