They have been in place for several years. The monuments are <br />4 inch iron pipes with a fixed plate which allows the instrument to be placed directly on <br />top of the monument. <br />The survey has been perfom~ed by different persortrret over the years. Westmoreland and Cypress <br />surveyors up through September of 1994. Ute Engineering and Surveying from June, 1995 <br />through November of 1997. Currently Cragg Surveying is now pertortning the surveys. <br />Past surveys have relied on the Westmoreland values for these control monuments. In May <br />of 2001 Cragg Surveying established survey control for aerial photo mapping for the reclamation <br />of the Bowie #1 Mine Site. This survey control was performed using GPS survey methods <br />plibrated to mine control points, Stations F, G and S. These stations are south of the mined <br />area and not subject to subsidence due to mining activity. However Stations B and C are over <br />mined out areas of the mine and subject to possible subsidence <br />• 51-1 <br />
