(B) Material subsidence damage means with respect to renewable resource <br />• lands, chan~,es which disrupt an aquifer, or a recharge area to an aquifer, which serves as a beneficial use of water <br />or chances which make it technologically or economically infeasible to restore the producuvrty of the affected <br />renewal resource lands, expressed in [enns of tbod, fiber, or foraee, to the level it would be if subsidence had not <br />occurred. <br />(C) A determination of diminution of reasonably foreseeable use of structures <br />or renewable resource lands within the permit and adjacent area which shall consider the capability of those <br />structures and lands, before and after subsidence occurrence, to Support those uses described in Section <br />2056(6)(b)(i)(A) giving consideration to factors such as soil and foundation characteristics topography <br />vegetative cover, surface hydrology, and eroundwater hydraloey. <br />(iii) If the subsidence survey determines (hat no material damage or diminution of <br />reasonably foreseeable use could result in the event of subsidence predicted to occur within the permit and <br />adiacent area, and the Division concurs with that conclusion, the application shall include a subsidence monitoring <br />program dcsit•ned to determine the accuracy of the subsidence prediction required by section 2.05.6(6)(e)(i)(D). <br />(iv) If the subsidence survey determines that material damage or diminution of <br />reasonabh~ foreseeable use could result in the event of subsidence predicted to occur within the permit and <br />adiacent area, or if the Division determines that such damage or diminution could occur, [he application shall <br />include a subsidence control plan as described in Section 2.05.6(6)(f). <br />(f1 A subsidence control plan, prepared by appropriately gualifiedprofessionals, shall contain <br />the following information: <br />• (i) A description of the physical conditions, such as depth of cover, seam thickness, <br />and litholoey, which affect the likelihood or extent of subsidence and subsidence-related damage; <br />(ii) A detailed description of the mining method and other measures to be taken which <br />may affect subsidence including: <br />(A) The technique of coal removal, such as longwall mining, room and pillar <br />removal, hydraulic mining or other methods, including the size, sequence, and timing for [he development of <br />underground workings as required by Rule 2.05.3(2)(b); and <br />(B) The location and extent of areas in which planned-subsidence mining <br />inetltods will be used, including all areas where measures will be taken to prevent or minimize subsidence and <br />subsidence-related damage. <br />(iii) A detailed description of the measures to be taken to prevent subsidence from <br />causing material damage or lessen the value or reasonably foreseeable use of the surface including: <br />(A) The anticipated effects of planned subsidence, if any: <br />(B) Measures, if any, to be taken in [he mine to reduce the likelihood of <br />subsidence, includine such measures as: <br />(I) Backs[owing or backfilling of voids: <br />• (II) Leaving support pillars of coal; and <br />MR 97-I i4 2.05-193 9/9/97 <br />
