• (E) Analyses of the coal seam, including, but not <br />limited to, an analysis of the sulfur, pyrite, and marcasite content. <br />(ii) Borehole spacing and physical and chemical analysis of <br />core samples shall be determined in consultation with the Division. <br />Siii) If required by the Division, test borings or core <br />samplings shall be collected and analyzed to greater depths within the <br />proposed permit area, or for areas outside the proposed permit area to <br />provide for evaluation of the impact of the proposed activities on the <br />hydrologic balance. <br />(iv) An applicant may request that the requirement for a <br />statement of the results of the testing borings or core samples be waived <br />by the Division. The waiver may be granted only if the Division makes a <br />written determination that the statement is unnecessary because other <br />equivalent information is accessible to it in a satisfactory form.

The geology for the areas proposed to be affected by surface <br />operations and facilities, those surface lands underlain by the coal to be <br />mined, and the coal to be mined shall be separately described as follows <br />including a moo and cross sections oreoared to the standards of 2.10 which <br />shows: <br />r~ <br />2.04-15 <br />
