AML Begins Taking GPS Coordinates Around Rock Springs on Monday

Beginning on Monday, Abandoned Mine Lands Division (AML) contractors will be taking GPS coordinates around Rock Springs for the subsidence insurance program. AML recently upgraded their software that will be able to geographically locate homes which are insured by the subsidence insurance program. AML continues to engage in mitigating the impacts of abandoned mines with the upgrade and future mitigating projects. AML has plans to initiate two new subsidence mitigation grouting projects this year in Rock Springs.

This GPS work is expected to be completed in two to three weeks.

For more information on the subsidence insurance program call 1-800-510-0283.





The subsidence insurance program provides coverage for structures in subsidence-prone areas. If a home or business with subsidence insurance coverage experiences damage caused by subsidence from abandoned mines, the program will reimburse the owner for the cost of repairs to the structure and initiate work to mitigate the subsidence from the abandoned mine to prevent future damage up to a maximum coverage of $275,000.
