. In addition, shale, sandstone and siltstone also underlay <br />the Maxwell Seam. Logs of holes which have been drilled <br />throughout the exploration phase of the Golden Eagle Mine area <br />are shown in Exhibit 6, Hydrology and Geology Information. <br />Little or no bedrock groundwater has been encountered <br />during CF&I and WFC exploration activities. During construction <br />of the mine, small amounts of water were encountered when the <br />coal bed was intersected by mine development. Minor amounts of <br />water were encountered in thin coal beds during access to the <br />Maxwell Seam. Sandstone, shale, and coal seam discontinuity do <br />not allow for transport of groundwater through the area to be <br />affected by mining. The limited amount of localized groundwater <br />is currently pumped from underground workings. A detailed <br />investigation of the groundwater regime for the Golden Eagle Mine <br />area is shown in Exhibit 6, Hydrology and Geology Information. <br />• Chemical analysis of the coal seam which is being mined <br />at the Golden Eagle Mine is shown in Table 5, Typical Coal <br />Analysis. <br />To demonstrate correlation between the chemistry of the <br />strata enveloping the Maxwell and Allen Seams, analyses of the <br />formations are presented in Exhibit 7, Overburden and Underburden <br />Analysis. The sample collected from the Allen refuse pile was <br />subjected to the same analytical technique employed on the <br />Maxwell refuse samples. <br />Geoloav of Second Right Area <br />Although little groundwater has been produced <br />historically in the GEM, an unanticipated geologic anomaly was <br />encountered in early January 1988 during mine development. On <br />January 16, 1988, the face of the Second Right Development <br />Section (Second Right, see Figure 2a) was blasted out by water <br />2.04-6(a) (Revised 09/01/89) <br />
