Water Supply Reserve Account - Grant Application Form <br />Fonn Revised May 2007 <br />• Describe target CBM producing formations; <br />• Address formation gas pressures and areas of gas discharge;; <br />2. Characterize Basin Stratigraphy and Structure <br />• Characterize the basin stratigraphy; <br />• Describe and assess the basin geologic structure; <br />• Describe spatial variation in lithologies or characteristics bearing on CBM production; <br />3. Characterize regional ground-water flow systems; <br />• Identify potential pathways between target CBM intervals and surface and ground water <br />resources; <br />Compile existing aquifer characteristics: <br />o Hydraulic conductivity values; <br />o Saturated thickness values; <br />o Porosity and specific yield values; <br />Compile location and depth of production data for existing water wells within the basin; <br />Aquifer extent and boundary conditions: <br />o Lateral and spatial extent; <br />o Nature of boundary condition (e.g., outcrop, fault or truncation); <br />o Areas of recharge and discharge; <br />• Water level conditions: <br />o Confined/unconfined; <br />o Pre-CBM conditions; <br />o Surface discharge conditions; <br />4. Relate target CBM producing formations to aquifers tapped by permitted water wells, both exempt and <br />non-exempt; <br />5. Relate Target CBM Intervals to Surface Water Systems <br />• Surface drainage basins; <br />• Stream-aquifer contact areas; <br />6. Characterize Water Quality of CBM Intervals, Local Aquifers, and Surface Water <br />• Characterize quality of CBM production water, particularly total dissolved solids (TDS) and <br />major ion content; <br />• Characterize water of local stream systems; <br />• Characterize water of local aquifer systems; <br />7. Identify areas where aquifer data, water level data, and water quality data are insufficient to adequately <br />characterize water-resource conditions prior to and during CBM development; <br />8. Devise a plan to fill in the data gaps as recognized; <br />9. Obtain new field data <br />• Water level data <br />• Aquifer test data <br />• Water Quality data <br />10. Depletion Modeling <br />• Apply the "Glover" methodology in one of its formats to determine the amounts of depletion from <br />surface water (alternate methods may be applied if the Glover method is unsuitable for the <br />hydrogeology of the basin); <br />• Evaluate and discuss assumptions and limitations of the use of the Glover methodology in this basin; <br />• Describe the geometry and setup of the analytical model; <br />• Evaluate and estimate parameters necessary to apply the model to this basin; <br />8
