OSM has been checking, measuring, photographing and <br />mapping these cracks on a monthly basis. These cracks look much <br />like the cracks which are not under OSM jurisdiction. <br />The other areas where pillars have recently been extracted are <br />Sections No. 9 West, 7 South, 6 South and 5 South/1 Left. The 7 <br />South and 6 South area exhibits normal subsidence tension cracks <br />extending north from a point about 300 feet south of the <br />Huntington Ditch. This area of the ditch has been rep-laced-with <br />a buried pipeline. Some cracks appear tQ have crossed the-' <br />pipeline with no apparent consequences. The landowner is <br />monitoring the situation cios~ly. <br />Call if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~ ----_ <br />Tom Bird <br />Planning & Engineering <br />National King Coal, LLC <br />
