During ~~ pcrsr,nal conversation, <br />FRED JOlINSON ~uul I discussed the possibility of the Menefee Pormntion not being sa_ <br />aquifer. `T'here is no evidence that tl;e Plenefee Formation has been breached suffici <br />tly enough to facilitate charging of the Menefee within the the. immediate BLUE FL/ti• <br />COAL MIPIE area. It appears that the nr~st pmbablc reclk,rgn area for the P1enefee <br />Fonration is 1.5 to 3.25 miles North of the DLIJE F'LJ1h~ COAL FIIIJE. <br />1'he litholoyic unit that is the most active as an aquifer in the BLUE <br />F'[AME COAL, MIC1E area is the massive upper sandstone unit of the Point Lookout <br />Sandstone.
