in the Sudduth coal seam. Well 2 is 20 ft. deep and draws <br />• water from the weathered bedrock surface in the valley <br />bottom. The final well, No. 3, is 400 ft. deep and pene- <br />trates the Coalmont over the Sudduth seam. This well aas <br />lost after drilling and consequently cannot be utilized <br />as a sampling point. However, a new sampling well pene- <br />trating the overburden will be installed at the location <br />indicated on Plate I. <br />Two weeks after drilling, the water levels in wells were <br />recorded as follows: <br />Source <br />!dell 1 Underburden <br />Well lA Sudduth Coal <br />• Well 2 [leathered <br />Bedrock <br />Depth to [dater Elevation <br />I4.3 ft. 8177.7 ft. <br />32.8 8173.2 <br />10.6 8169.4 <br />As shown above, the water levels in We11 1 which taps the <br />underburden is highez than that in Tlell lA which taps the <br />overlying coal. This suggests these zones are reacting <br />as confined or semi-confined beds and that the area of <br />recharge of the underburden is slightly higher than that <br />of the coal. This is confirmed on the cross section, <br />Plate III. <br />Well No. 3 was constructed with a~.i air rotary rig so it <br />could be determined when water was encountered in the hole. <br /> <br />7 <br />
