Hydroloay <br />Please provide the actual well completion details for gob vent borehole WDI-C, when the <br />information becomes available. <br />The Division has no further concerns. The completion diagrams will be provided. <br />If there is additional hydrologic information concerning water bearing zones that is <br />available from the recent drilling program, please update Map 10, Upper Perched Water <br />Zone, and Mnp 11, Lower Perched Water Zone with that data. If appropriate, please <br />update Section 2.04.7, as well. <br />The Division has no further concerns. Map 10 and Map 11 were updated in PR-04 with <br />data from the 2000 drilling program.
