Per Rule 2.04.6(3)(a)(iii), please acquire geochemical information of the roof and floor. Per Table 3.B.2.b. of the Division's Guidelines for the Collection of Baseline Water Oualitv and Overburden Geochemistry Data, please obtain composite samples from the first ten feet of strata overlying the coal seam and the first five feet underlying the coal seam, and have them analyzed for the following parameters: pH Electrical Conductivity Total Combustible Solids Lithologic Classification Textural Analysis % Sand Silt % Clay Saturation Percentage Sodium Adsorption Ratio Calcium Magnesium Nitrate-Nitrite Sodium Sulfur % pyritic sulfur sulfate sulfur % organic sulfur Total Sulfur Arsenic Boron Cadmium Copper Iron Lead Manganese Mercury Molybdenum Selenium Zinc 4. To characterize the physical properties of the aquifers at the site per Rules 2.04.6(3)(a)(iii)(A) and 2.04.7(1)(b), please perform aquifer pump tests on the Cliffhouse Sandstone, the Menefee Formation and the Point Lookout Sandstone, to ascertain the transmissivity, storativity, porosity, and both horizontal and vertical permeability for each of these strata. 5. Per Rule 2.04.6(3)(a)(iii)(A), please provide lithologic logs for all drill holes, including the location of subsurface water if encountered, to supplement existing geological baseline data and provide a framework for evaluating the geochemical data and water monitoring data which is collected. Per Rule 2.04.6 (3)(a)(iii)(A), additionally provide geophysical logging of each hole for gamma, resistivity and density measurements. Per Rule 2.04.7(1)(a), please complete the drill holes to establish one monitoring well in the Point Lookout Sandstone and one in the Menefee Formation. We recommend additionally submitting a set of generic completion diagrams to the Division in advance of installation, to ensure agreement on the proper method of establishing a monitoring well in the zone of interest.
