Semi-Annual Subsidence MonitorinE Report <br />Period: Period: July 1, 1998 -December 31, 1998 <br />Page 2 <br />1.2 Newlin Creek Point <br />Survey data for the Newlin Creek point show a change of 0.65 feet of subsidence through the 4th <br />quarter of 1998. Similar to the survey data for the ranch structures, above, it is not likely that <br />any subsidence has occurred at this monument. No mining operations have occurred in the <br />vicinity of this survey point since 1982 to cause additional subsidence. <br />1.3 Florence Water Line <br />Survey data obtained at the eight monuments along the Florence Water Line indicate minor <br />subsidence occurring in the area of the water line. The amount of measured subsidence at these <br />monuments ranged from 0.03 to 0.19 feet. No recent mining has been done in the vicinity of <br />monitoring locations that would cause additional subsidence. <br />The maximum measured subsidence along the water line occurs at Monument I, with a current <br />deflection of 3.43 feet as compared to the original survey. This value is within the permit <br />maximum expected and worst-case expected subsidence values of 2.79 and 4.36 feet respectively. <br />No new surface cracks or other subsidence related features were observed during the reporting <br />period. Previously observed surface cracks have healed and not reappeared. <br />Subsidence monitoring of structures indicates that subsidence is occurring only at certain locations <br />along the water line, and that the magnitude of displacement is within predicted values. Only <br />minor additional subsidence is expected to occur at the structure monitoring locations. <br />
