From objectives and scope: The objectives of the study were to: (1) Determine the geographic extent of the minable lignite beds and identify aquifers down to a depth of about 400 feet beneath the lower minable lignite; (2) assess the ground-water flow regime in all aquifers found; (3) evaluate the flow characteristics of the two streams draining the study area; and (5) qualitatively assess the impacts mining might have on the hydrologic system.
