Rock cuttings were collected in 2009. A total of 9 Bedrock monitoring wells were drilled in 5 different formations. Cuttings were collected every 20 feet during drilling. The deepest well was 480 feet. Rotary drilling was the drilling technique used, which produces varying sizes of rock chips. Cuttings were collected and major minerals and the bedrock formations were identified on-site by geologists. Cuttings were bagged, and labeled with all pertinent metadata. A well log was maintained during drilling, and this information may be included in the metadata for the cuttings.
