Abdullahi Mohamed

This request to the U.S Geological Survey is in reference to the $15,000 allocated by the Office of Coal Management. The Ames District is to receive this amount for use in hydrological assistance. Our main concern at this time is the stage of access and interpretation of existing data on record. Due to the U.S. Geological Survey having vast storage of and access to this data, we would like to suggest the available funds be used in the following two areas.

Data Interpretations

The first area may be handled by the Geological Survey district office in Wilson. This location has accessibility and central locale to all literature and data sources. By compiling this data, a comprehensive interpretation of surface water, i.e., quantity, quality, salinity etc. for site specific coal leases can be provided. Thus, due to time constraint, time may be spent on analyzing these interpretations and conducting on-site calculations.

Assitance

Secondly, the expertise that can be provided by the Water Resource Division of the Geological Survey in Mountainview is another area we foresee as a positive and very useful endeavor. The sub district office and the White River Resource Area office are both located there. Therefore, it is easy to obtain help in the form of infrequent consultations, informal review of tract analysis and field reconnaissance on a one time basis of any lease area lacking available hydrologic data.

The foregoing should provide adequate justification for requesting the U.S. Geological Survey's assistance.


James Mangrum

This request to the United States Geological Survey is in reference to the $15,000 allocated by the Office of Coal Management. The money will go to the Ames District for the use in hydrologic assistance. At this time, access and interpretation of existing data on record is in the form of computer storage and printed publications. This brings us concern because we may not have some of the data that has been stored or printed. Due to the U.S. Geological Survey having access and vast storage to this data, we would like to suggest the available funds be used in the following two areas if possible.

The first area will be handled by the Geological Survey district office in Wilson, because of accessibility and central locale to its literature and data sources. Compiling this data develops a comprehensive interpretation of surface water, i.e., quantity, quality, salinity etc. for site specific coal leases can be provided to the Ames District hydrologist. Given time constraints, time may be spent on analyzing the interpretations and conducting on-site calculations.

Secondly, the expertise provided by the Water Resource Division of the Geological Survey in Mountainview can be used with the subdistrict office and the White River Resource Area office that are both located in Mountainview. We can obtain their help in the form of infrequent consultations, informal review of tract analysis, and field reconnaissance on a one time basis of any lease area lacking available hydrologic data.

The foregoing should provide adequate justification for requesting the U.S. Geological Survey's assistance.

This request to the U.S. Geological Survey is concerning the $15,000 allocated by the Office of Coal Management to the Ames District. At this time the existing data is stored in the form of computer storage; publications provided in print are our main concern. Due to the U.S. Geological Survey having vast storage and access to this data we would like the available funds be used in the following two areas.

Area 1:
The Geological Survey district office in Wilson should handle this due to its accessibility to all literature and data sources. By compiling all of the surface water data for a specific site a comprehensive interpretation can be provided allowing coal leases to be provided to the Ames District hydrologist. Thus, due to time constraints, time may be spent on analyzing these interpretations and conducting on-site calculations.

Area 2:
The expertise that can be provided by the Water Resource Division of the Geological Survey in Mountainview will be beneficial. The sub district office and the White River Resource Area offices are both located in Mountainview; we can contract their help in the form of consultations, informal review of tract analysis and field reconnaissance.


Dan Goff

This request to the United States Geological Survey is in reference to the $15,000 allocated for hydrologic assistance by the Office of Coal Management to the Ames District. We are primarily concerned about existing digital data and print publications that we may not be aware of. As the USGS has an extensive archive, we believe the available funds should be used in the following two areas.

Data Compilation and Analysis

The USGS district office in Wilson represents a central access point for all data. By compiling existing surface water data (i.e., quantity, quality, salinity, etc.), a comprehensive interpretation of site specific coal leases can be provided to the Ames District hydrologist. This will provide a time savings, and allow time to be spent analyzing these interpretations and conducting on-site calculations instead.

Outside Assistance

Secondly, we foresee leveraging the expertise provided by the Water Resource Division of the Geological Survey in Mountainview. Because the subdistrict office and the White River Resource Area office are both located in Mountainview, we may obtain their help in the form of infrequent consultations, informal review of tract analysis and field reconnaissance on a one time basis of any lease area lacking available hydrologic data.

We believe the foregoing represents justification for requesting the U.S. Geological Survey's assistance.

Greg Kubacki

This request is in reference to the $15,000 allocated to the Ames District for use in hydrologic assistance by the Office of Coal Management. At this time our main concern is interpretation of existing data on computer and data found in publications that have yet to be analyzed. Since the U.S. Geological Survey has vast resources and access to this data we request the available funds be used in the following two areas.

Wilson Office

The Geological Survey office in Wilson is centrally located to all literature and data sources. The compilation of data will allow for a comprehensive interpretation of surface water for site specific coal leases that can be provided to the Ames District hydrologist. Therefore time may be spent on analyzing these interpretations and conducting on-site calculations.

Water Resource Division

The Water Resource Division of the Geological Survey in Mountainview is an encouraging endeavor that can provide valuable expertise. Since the subdistrict office and the White River Resource Area office are both located in Mountainview, we may obtain their help in aspects such as infrequent consultations, informal review of tract analysis, and field reconnaissance on a one time basis of any lease area lacking available hydrologic data.

The foregoing should provide adequate justification for our request to the U.S. Geological Survey for assistance.


Edwin Torres

United States Geological Survey:

The office of Coal management allocates $15,000 to the Ames District for use as hydrologic assistance. We are concerned with the interpretation of unknown existing data. Because the U.S. Geological Survey has access to this data, we suggest that the available funds be used in the following two areas.

Compiling and Analyzing Data
The district office in Wilson may handle surface water interpretation because of their central location and accessibility to information. Upon compiling this data, the Wilson office will provide, to the Ames District hydrologist, a comprehensive interpretation of quantity, quality, salinity etc. for specific coal leases. The Ames District may then focus on analyzing and conducting on-site calculations instead of data compilation.

Tract Analysis and Field Reconnaissance
Secondly, the Water Resource Division sub district office and the White River Resource Area office can provide information on leases lacking hydrologic data. The Ames District shall obtain the data through infrequent consultations after tract analysis and field reconnaissance has been conducted on specified leases.

The foregoing should provide justification for requesting the U.S. Geological Survey's assistance.
