We have not found any cracks in this area as of yet. <br />Mining has been completed beneath the DunnNte Mountain Ute Tribe Lease. OSM has <br />been checking, measuring, photographing and mapping these cracks on a quarterly basis. <br />These cracks look much like the cracks which are not under OSM jurisdiction. As per <br />OSM suggestion, we repaired two cracks which intersected atwo-track road paralleling the <br />east-west fence on the south side of the properly. <br />The other areas where pillars have been extracted are Sections No. 4 West, 7 South, 6 <br />South and 5 South/1 Left. The 7 South and 6 South area exhibits normal subsidence <br />tension cracks extending north from a point about 300 feet south of the Huntington Ditch. <br />This area of the ditch has been replaced with a buried pipeline. Some cracks appear to <br />have crossed the pipeline with no apparent consequences. The landowner is monitoring <br />the situation closely. <br />Call if you have uestions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Tom Bird <br />Planning & Engineering <br />National King Coal, LLC <br />Telephone: Telephone: <br />(970) 259.2118 (970) 3981829 <br />Fax: Fe>t: <br />(970) 259-1818 (970) 388-1839 <br />
