• prepared in accordance with 2.10, should accompany the descriptions and <br />include the following: <br />(i) Nature, depth, and thickness of the coal seams to be <br />mined, any coal or rider seams above the seam to be mined, each stratum <br />of the overburden, and the stratum immediately below the lowest coal seam <br />to be mined; <br />(ii) The proposed permit area, including coal crop lines <br />and the strike and dip of the coal to be mined; <br />(b) (i) Test borings or core samples from the proposed <br />permit area shall be collected and analyzed down to and including the <br />• stratum immediately below the lowest coal seam to be mined in order to <br />provide the following data in the description: <br />(A) Location of subsurface water zones, if <br />encountered; <br />(B) Logs of drill holes showing the lithologic <br />characteristics and thickness of each stratum and each coal seam; <br />(C) Physical properties of each stratum within the <br />overburden and interburden including texture, overall swell, and other <br />information sufficient to determine compactibility, erodibility and an <br />overall estimate of overburden and interburden swell. <br />(D) Chemical analysis of each stratum within the <br />overburden and interburden and the stratum immediately below the lowest <br />• coal seam to be mined to identify, at a minimum, those horizons which <br />contain potential acid-forming, toxic-forming, or alkalinity-producing <br />2.04-19 <br />
