Longwall mining damage image of James Kinney Farmstead, showing livestock tank which has gone dry as a result of longwall mining. Prior to mining, this spring development provided 22 gallons/minute water flow for the livestock tank, with the overflow supplying a USDA registered wetland. Now there is no water flow from this spring development except during heavy periods of rain. Once the rain stops, the flow of water stops.
