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.
