  Property Owners From Damages

  Caused By Mine Subsidence




Underground coal mining can cause subsi-
dence--the displacement or sinking of the
ground surface--which in turn can damage sur-
face structures in urban areas and result in
serious financial consequences for property
owners.

GAO identifies five alternatives to protect
property owners from severe financial hard-
ship by preventing or correcting subsidence
damage, and makes several recommendations
to the Secretary of the Interior to help reduce
future subsidence damage.

This report is in response to a request from
Congressmen Paul Simon and Morris K. Udall.
