Longwall mining damage image of James Kinney Farmstead, showing
frozen temporary water supply livestock tank. There is no electricity
across the road from the main house as OVCC has not installed electric
lines, therefore the water in the livestock tank freezes during
cold weather. According to ODNR regulations, OVCC is required to
provide water for livestock in areas affected by longwall mining.
Prior to mining, a constant flow of water from the developed spring
in this field kept the stock tank from freezing during cold weather.
The spring feeding the stock tank in this field previously provided
22 gal/min flow rate prior to mining, now there is no water from
this spring due to longwall mining subsidence.
