~ ... <br />particular attention focused on the landslides in Coal Gulch and the unnamed drainage <br />between the Sanborn Creek and Coal Gulch drainages, above Springs 7 and 9 respectively. <br />An analysis of the previous results of this monitoring program suggests there has been no <br />identified recent movement in the slide features either naturally or associated with mining <br />activities. <br />PR-04 modified the spring and seep sampling program but the subsidence monitoring of the <br />three mass movement areas in the vicinity of the Sanborn creek mine continued during the <br />year 2002. Previously, OMLLC employee Mr. Tom Anderson had participated in the <br />conduct of the required inspections. To provided continuity with respect to the specific areas <br />to be inspected and to provide a perspective regarding any perceived changes to any of the <br />mass movement features Mr. Anderson accompanied the undersigned during the 2002 <br />inspections. -The monitoring indicated there were no visible signs of recent mass movement <br />and no additional new mass movement features noted <br />Elk Creek Mine <br />PR-OS provided additional monitoring of areas overlying the Elk Creek Mine (see the PAP <br />discussion found on page 2.05-104) where regulazly traveled roads are located below <br />historic landlslides in the Beaz Creek drainage. <br />During 2002, Mr. Anderson also accompanied the undersigned to a number of azeas visible <br />in the permit azea located within the Elk Creek, Beaz Creek and Hubbazd Creek drainages. <br />These drainages are steep, deeply incised and contain anumber ofpre-existing slides and <br />slump features. No visible signs of recent mass movement was appazent and no new mass <br />movement features were noted during the year 2002 inspections. <br />The 2003 inspections indicated similar results. No significant indications of recent mass <br />movement was apparent and no new mass movement features were noted above the <br />Sanborn Creek and Elk Creek mines. <br />Please contact me at 970-929-5806 if you have any questions concerning the OMLLC <br />annual subsidence monitoring program. <br />Sincerely, <br />Cut<r-~ (.~ . ~ 1 <br />es A.
