Mike Long <br />Page 3 <br />Such specific regional geology is beyond <br />the scope of drilling program data in hand. <br />The Geological Survey Professional Paper <br />676 is a rather comprehensive source of <br />current information available on the San <br />Juan Basin. This publication can be obtained <br />from the U.S. Geological Survey in Denver, <br />Colorado. <br />Section 2.04.6 Geology Description <br />Surface Mining <br />The discussion of the concerns addressed in <br />this part centered around the extent of <br />additional information requested as opposed <br />to the information provided in the permit <br />application. <br />The geology description indicates that Folding <br />and Faulting do not exist in the area. <br />2.04.7 describes the information obtained as <br />the result of hydrologic investigations. A <br />major ground water basin is not present in <br />the area. The locations of various wells are <br />depicted on the Regional Hydrology Map. <br />2.04.7 describes the placement of these wells <br />in association with the occurence of groundwater <br />and the factors limiting such occurence. The <br />groundwater regime in the area does not <br />appear to be continuous. Occurence of such <br />waters, based upon current knowledge, is <br />localized. In short, without the benefit of <br />much more extensive and costly studies, it <br />does not seem logical to attempt to predict <br />the occurence of defined aquifers in the <br />area. The occurence of alluvial deposits is <br />depicted on the Hydrologic Cross Sections <br />Map. If required that information can <br />be added to the Regional Geology Map discussed <br />above. However, the Regional Hydrology Map <br />depicts the location of the alluvial valley <br />floor. It may also be utilized for the <br />purposes of defining known alluvial deposits. <br />
