24HG2E27XC Sample Hole(s) Project Plan <br />Minor Revision 320 <br />Page I 1 of 11 <br />3. Drill hole plugging requirements. <br />In accordance with the Coal Program Guidance Document -Methane Drainage and <br />Monitoring Wells, MCC will plug and abandon these MDWs per DMG Rules 2.05.4 and <br />4.07.3 at the minimum. A mechanical packer will be set at the lowest possible point in <br />the well (note that subsidence damage to the casing may preclude access to the entire <br />depth of the casing). Above this packer the hole will be plugged with CDMG approved <br />materials to the bottom of the 5-foot cement surface cap using tremmie line. The top 5- <br />feet of the well below the sub-surface casing cut-off point (3-feet below the surface) will <br />be plugged with a cement cap. The top 3-feet of the casing will then be cut off and the <br />hole filled in with subsoil. A permanent mazker shall be installed on top of the plug <br />identifying the well. The pad will then be reclaimed to approximate original contour. <br />The Methane Drainage Well drilling experience for Mountain Coal Company has shown <br />that no aquifers have yet been encountered. However, the procedures described above <br />would serve to properly protect any aquifers that would be encountered. <br />4. Retention of drill logs by applicant. <br />Mountain Coal Company will retain in its files all drill logs and will make them available <br />for inspection by any authorized officer. Mountain Coal Company may conduct <br />geophysical logging and/ or collect core from this project. <br />5. Utilizing drill holes as water monitoring wells. <br />Mountain Coal Company does not anticipate encountering any significant aquifers during <br />this drilling program. Mountain Coal Company does not intend to complete any of these <br />holes as water monitoring wells. <br />I. Maps of Project Area -Attached <br />7.
