CAM does not <br />anticipate encountering any significant aquifers in the course of the proposed exploration <br />program, although the lenticular but occasionally thick sandstone units in the coal- <br />bearing interval of the Mount Garfield Formation to be tested do frequently contain some <br />water. <br />Method for Plugging Drill Holes <br />Holes not completed as surveillance or monitoring wells will be sealed using cement or <br />other approved sealant from total depth to within three feet of the surface. Drill cuttings <br />may be mixed with cement or other approved sealant during sealing. Holes will be <br />marked with afour-foot (minimum) steel roof bolt or a T-shaped fence post. Sealing will <br />be in compliance with §4.07.3. <br />That portion of the hole between the cement seal and the [reclaimed] ground surface will <br />be filled with dirt, drill cuttings, or both to minimize hazards to wildlife, livestock, and <br />humans. <br />i• <br />
