ATTACHMENT <br />ITEM 3.0 Please find attached the following documents that give landowner's <br />consent to right of entry: <br />Memorandum of Coal Mine Lease with George E. L. Glasier (GW N- <br />47,48,49) <br />2. Permission to Conduct Studies Agreement with Thomas J. and Peggy <br />Jo Meehan (GW N-50, 51, 52) <br />3. Memorandum Agreement for Coal Mining Lease and contract to <br />Exchange Real Property with Garvey & Company (GW N-53, 54, 55). <br />See Section 2 and Section 4(e). <br />ITEM 4.0 The 9 water monitoring holes and 3 pilot holes are located on gently <br />rolling topography that is currently used for both irrigated pastureland and irrigated <br />hay/alfalfa crop land. These holes are located a little over 2 miles Northwest of Nucla, <br />Colorado. The southwest nest of 3 ground water monitoring holes and one pilot hole <br />would be drilled on the irrigated hay/alfalfa cropland, whereas the other 6 ground water <br />monitoring wells and 2 pilot holes would be drilled on irrigated pastureland. Irrigation is <br />provided by Second Park West Lateral ditch. The area is located on a gentle dip slope <br />with slopes typically ranging from less than 2% to about 7% except immediately adjacent <br />to drainages where the slopes are on the order of 20 to 30 percent. The overall drainage <br />is from the Northeast to the Southwest, (see Map 1). The monitoring holes and pilot holes <br />will be completed in the upper and middle members of the Dakota Formation which <br />consist of siltstone, shale, carbonaceous shale, fine grained argillaceous channel type <br />lenticular sandstones and coal. These upper two members of the Dakota Formation are <br />typically "tight" and are both aquitards and aquicludes. Water in these strata in this area <br />is the result primarily of irrigation water percolating into joints and fractures. This area is <br />adjacent to the old Peabody Nucla Mine where coal was mined from these strata. <br />ITEM 5A Four holes are planned to be drilled at each of three sites. See Map 1. One <br />of these holes at each of the sites will be drilled as a pilot hole and will be logged with <br />geophysical tools. The other three holes will be constructed as groundwater monitoring <br />holes. At each site, one monitoring hole will be constructed in the overburden above the <br />coal zone, another within the coal zone, and the third below the coal zone. <br />All holes will be drilled using a truck-mounted rotary drill rig. The pilot holes will be <br />drilled with a diameter of 5-1/8" or 5-5/8" and will be drilled through the Nucla Seam, a <br />thin coaly shale seam usually found between 15 and 30 feet below the Upper and Lower <br />Dakota seams which are the seams targeted for mining. Each of the three pilot holes is to <br />be logged immediately after the hole is drilled. Upon review of these logs, the depths and <br />specific construction details for each of the monitoring holes will be determined.
