• INTRODUCTION <br />The year 1988 was eventful Eor the Orchard Valley West Mine, albeit not as plan- <br />ned. During January, there was no demand Eor the coal and therefore no produc- <br />tion. Production resinned in February at a very small scale with one shift per <br />day producing coal on a 4 day work week. Coal orders started picking up during <br />the second quarter and all of a sudden enough coal could not be produced from <br />the one section mine. <br />Production and profits during 1988 were favorable enough to attcact a buyer for <br />the mine and on December 1, Cyprus Minerals purchased the Orchard Valley and Or- <br />chard Valley West Mines, known as Colorado Westmoreland Inc., from Westmoreland <br />Coal Company. <br />Hydrology and Subsidence data were gathered, recorded, and are presented in this <br />report. Cyprus Orchard Valley Coal Corporation's 1988 Annual Hydrology and <br />Subsidence Report is submitted in compliance with stipulation Nos. 4 and. 5 <br />attached to Permit C-038-83 as revised. <br />The topics to be discussed are as follows: 1988 Production and Geologic Condi- <br />tions; 1988 Subsidence Impacts; 1988 Hydrology Impacts; 1989 Mining Projections; <br />1989 Projected Subsidence Impacts; and 1989 Projected Hydrology Impacts. <br />C <br />LJ <br />
