line in Wyoming (Ref. 2). Although it encompasses parts of the Madison
formation around the Black Hills of South Dakota, the study is primarily
intended to predict the effects of water withdrawal in Wyoming. The ex-
tension of the rather comprehensive study to include all of the Madison
formation in South Dakota as well as water needed in the future by the
state for proposed geothermal community heating appears to be the most
practical and cost-effective way to obtain an engineering definition of
the Madison limestone aquifer. Letters of Agreement have been prepared
by APL for the Resource Assessment and Engineering Branch of DOE/DGE
(Refs. 3 and 4) that suggest how the study might be modified to provide
the desired data. USGS has agreed to extend the study to include reser-
voir engineering of the Madison aquifer system in South Dakota, provided
that the necessary data are supplied to validate the simulation. The
extension of the study should identify the heat source through heat flow
and geochemical analysis, establish allowable withdrawal rates, and
determine the effects of withdrawal and injection on the potentiometric
surface and water temperature (see Fig. 3 and Ref. 5). L. R. Mink of
DOE/DGE has given APL permission to develop a plan, with the aid of South
