Longwall mining damage image of James Kinney Farmstead main house,
showing digging of new french drain around the house. The original
french drain was damaged by pre-mitigation trenching which was done
around the house. Due to this lack of drainage and subsidence damaged
basement concrete floors, the basement has flooded several times
since mining occured.
The water will drain over the hill using the same trench used for
the greywater laundry drain which was installed in the 1960s.
