There have been problems with subsidence for a long time. I remember driving through Rock Springs in the early 70's and there were all these hoses crossing the street. I asked at a diner about the hoses, and was told that the underground mines were collapsing and they were filling them with a sand grout. I would be interested in getting the information on how many of our dollars have been spent on this boondoggle. Anyone who bought houses after that should have known about it. The city of Rock springs knew about it and did nothing about limiting the damage, and Union Pacific should be held accountable for the damage done by their mines.
