Any cracks of this nature could be easily filled with loose dirt or <br />I at National King Coal's expense; however, due to the present condition of the <br />cracks of this nature would be virtually unnoticeable. <br />The Huntington Irrigation Ditch and the adjacent surface area have been <br />inspected on a quarterly basis since 1981 by a qualified person for evidence of <br />subsidence caused by underground mining. Results of these inspections are <br />reported to the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining & Safety. Quarterly visual <br />inspections of the Huntington Ditch to date have not indicated evidence of damage, <br />nor have they indicated that water is lost to the mine via surface fracturing. <br />Quarterly inspections of the Crawford Irrigation Ditch will commence once mining <br />and pillaring operations have been conducted in that area. <br />Field observations indicate that surface subsidence features are present above <br />abandoned portions of the mine. These features are in the form of cracks which are <br />typically 4" to 6" wide and may be several hundred feet long. These cracks tend to <br />parallel pillared out mining sections. National King Coal, LLC will continue to <br />monitor these cracks on a quarterly basis. Should visual inspection determine that <br />a subsidence crack is approaching a possible intercept with the ditch, the location of <br />the crack and its relation to the ditch will be mapped and monitored closely. Survey <br />monitoring stations are for mapping purposes only. Should it appear eminent that <br />the ditch and a subsidence crack will intersect; the effected portion of the ditch will <br />be lined with flexible plastic conduit or other means equally effective to ensure the <br />continuous and unrestricted flow of water. <br />At least one month prior to retreat mining near the Marc Crawford house, <br />subsidence monitoring monuments will be placed and surveyed in near the house by <br />a registered surveyor in such a way that subsidence can be detected from a survey <br />monument outside the affected area of mining, should it occur. These monuments <br />will be surveyed quarterly for two quarters following the time that pillars have been <br />extracted from the area. These monuments will then be monitored annually for two <br />years to assure that no subsidence has occurred. The monuments will then remain <br />in place in the event that future questions arise concerning subsidence.
