The Penetration and Show Map (TASK 3200-1-2) and the Drilling Depth Map (TASK 3200-3-5) have been completed and accepted by DOE, Morgantown, WV. The 9 stratigraphic cross sections (TASK 2100-1-1) have been completed and accepted by DOE, Morgantown, WV, but problems related to their large size have delayed printing. A 1:250,000 scale Onondaga Structure Map had to be corrected and drafting has only just begun on this project. Data collection for the 1:1,000,000 scale shale and sand maps is complete and all of the maps have been constructed, including 34 isopach maps (TASK 2100-1-2), 6 structure maps (TASK 2100-2-1), and 46 lithofacies maps (TASK 2100-3-1). These 86 maps have been reviewed and narrowed to 39, including 15 isopach, 6 structure, and 18 lichofacies maps. The shale maps (9 isopach, 6 structure, and 7 lighofacies maps) are complete and in camera-ready form. Drafting of the sand maps is complete. These maps are presently being reviewed and corrected before being completed in camera-ready form. Enclading is 100% complete, and the data sheets have been sent to USGS, Denver, CO, for inclusion into their computer systems. Delays in delivery of products have been due to problems which resulted from lack of drafting formats for the cross sections and maps from DOE.
