None of the pre-existing cracks appear to have grown, and <br />most are filling in naturally, which is usually the case. There is no indication that any areas around the <br />Crawford residence have moved. <br />An inspection and subsidence survey was performed on Apri125, 2006 by Mike Crawford, Tom Bird and <br />Dan Meadors of the Crawford Ranch property. This survey again revealed no movement over most of the <br />property. Some minor cracks were observed intersecting the south and west berms which make up the <br />sides of a stock pond which lies to the north and east of the Marc Crawford house. Mr. Crawford will <br />monitor the situation to see if any further action is necessary. <br />Inspections of other areas, including the Huntington and Crawford Ditches, revealed no adverse effects <br />from subsidence. <br />Please call if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />.~~- <br />Tom Bird <br />Manager, Coal Services <br />National King Coal, LLC <br />
