• projections of 4th West. Pictures 6 thru 8, again were panoramic shots taken over the projected 4th <br />West panel. Picture 9 was taken directly above the active mining in 4th West looking east toward <br />the beginning of the panel and 3 South Mains. Shots 10 and 13 over look azeas to be mined in the <br />next year or so. Shots 11,12 and 14 show azeas of 4th and 5th West panels and 3 South Mains that <br />have been mined in the last yeaz or so. The inspection tour dropped off the side of the canyon wall <br />down to the roadway in Main Canyon and proceeded up the road to the beginning. This road <br />basically follows Jeny Creek and crosses the fonnerly mined 1st West panel and the proposed 2nd <br />West panel. No subsidence evidence was found and there were no structures or features found that <br />require special protection other than Jerry Creek. <br />The RSS loop ,inspected on May 29, 1997, was over azeas to be mined in the distant future and <br />areas mined during the preceding yeaz or more. The summer help appazently did not recognize the <br />azea of interest for the survey because the pictures came back showing the tour to be starting neaz <br />the southeast comer of the permit azea. The fast 4 pictures were taken over areas to be mined in the <br />distant future but were included to show the general topography of the ridge between Cottonwood <br />and Rapid Creeks. Picture 1 over looks Cabin Reservoir which is immediately south of the permit <br />boundary. Power lines are also shown in the picture. Pictures 5-8 were taken on a ridge over the <br />east end of former mining in 6th East panel in 1996 and over look 6th and 7th East panels. Pictures <br />9 and 10 were taken over 6th East and show the rugged terrain neaz Rapid Creek. Picture 11 was <br />taken looking west over the middle of 6th and 7th East panels. The tour proceeded across the 6th <br />East panel and across the 4 South Mains to the roadway up Cottonwood Creek. The Palisade water <br />• line is the only significant structures in the area and Cottonwood Creek is the only significant <br />feature. No evidence of subsidence was found. <br />The second RSN loop, inspected on December 23, 1997, was primarily to cover areas previously <br />mined but also to over look azeas to be mined in 3rd and 2nd West. Pictures 1 and 2 were shots <br />taken over the former 1st west panel looking up and down the canyon. Pictures 3 and 4 were taken <br />overlooking 3rd and 4th West panels. The route skirted the sheaz canyon walls as close as <br />reasonably possible to the former 5th West panel. Major rock climbing would have been necessary <br />to get on top of Whittaker Flats to traverse the length of 5th West. Pictures 5 and 7 were taken to <br />show the shear canyon walls and picture 6 shows the slope down to Jerry creek and up the other side <br />of the canyon. Pictures 8 thru 11 were panoramic shots of Main canyon where mining has and will <br />be done. The tour proceed across the canyon and along the former 1st West panel to the point of <br />beginning. Jerry Creek is the only significant feature in the azea and no significant structures have <br />been found in the azea. No evidence of subsidence was found. <br />Subsidence monuments were installed in Coal Canyon and Main Canyon in the fall of 1996. These <br />5 points can be monitored from one point on the ridge between the two canyons. The location of <br />these points is shown of the Subsidence Survey Routes 1996 map. The following is a list of <br />coordinates and elevations for the monuments: <br />Name Northing Easting Elevation <br />• Base 1,021,131.82N 104,358.55E 5164.00 <br />Page 3 <br />
