Drilling
for coal exploration or evaluation requires a permit and is regulated
under Chapters
38-12.1 and 43-02-01 of the North Dakota Century and Administrative Codes,
respectively. A report of findings must be filed with the State Geologist. Collectively,
these reports comprise a database useful to private and government coal
researchers and provide information necessary for geologic correlations
and economic
forecasting.
