• 1995 Subsidence Report Page 7 area. Visual ~ronitoring is concentrated over areas of retreat m; n; nq with particular emphasis on areas mined under low overburden. A visual subsidence monitoring inspection was conducted the first week November 1995. Panel ZZ and Panel ZZ-1 North was .inspected. Panel X was advanced during the year but no retreat m;n;ng was performed so it was not inspected. No visual indications of subsidence were noted during the subsidence inspection. No visual irrlications of subsidence were rated during surveying or hydrology monitoring efforts for the 1995 calendar year. Projected Subsidence IaQacts 1996 Subsidence impacts during 1996 are projected to be minimal based upon subsidence patterns established to date. Mining during 1996 is projected to occ,-ur in the "Right" sections to the east of Panel X. The areas scheduled to be mined during 1996 axe not significantly different from areas previously mined in terms of topography, geology, or mining technique and should not, therefore, exhibit significantly different subsidence effects. Projected Subsidence Monitoring 1995 Per the conditions of technical revision 16, the Operator is rgn 'red to inform the Division of selected sites proposed for surveying for the upcoming year in the Annual Subsidence Report. Fbr the 1996 Calendar year, the Operator proposes the following thirteen (13) sites for surveying (see Map No. 2-5 appended to this report): 6, 14, 15, 16, and 95; drill hole locations 55, 65, 66, and 68; structure locations in the north ~S of Section 10 which will be denoted subsidence ~ronitoring points 94, 96, and 98; and the corner of Sections 9, 10, 15, and 16 designated point 99. The sites will be surveyed once during the Y~• In addition, the Operator will survey the seven (7) Pitkin Mesa Pipeline monitoring locations semiannually until stability is documented. •
