Detailed information concerning the location and analysis of limestone deposits in the United States can be obtained from the various state geological surveys, the U.S. Bureau of Mines, and the U.S. Geological Survey. Descriptive summaries of the limestone deposits in the various states have beenpubhshed (5,6). 

Other coal sample banks are also in existence. The Penn State Sample Bank at Peimsylvania State University has the most diverse collection of samples (86). The Illinois Basin Coal Sample Program at the Illinois State Geological Survey specializes in samples from the Illinois Basin (89). The European Center for Coal Specimens has a significant collection of samples from the entire world and is located in Eygelshoven in The Netherlands (88). Each makes samples available in kilogram quantities. 

To determine the latitude and longitude of your facility you will need a topographic map from United States Geological Survey (USGS).

I can thank just a few of my colleagues and students who helped develop the case studies in this book. John Yecko and William Roy of the Illinois State Geological Survey first modeled degradation of the injection wells at Marshall, Illinois. Rachida Bouhlila provided analyses of the brines at Sebkhat El Melah, Tunisia. 

PHREEQC version 2.15 was used to calculate equilibrium concentrations of ion pairs from the leachate chemistry. PHREEQCi was initially developed by the United States Geological Survey and a substantial library of thermodynamic constants has built up over the ongoing development period (Appelo Postma 2005). 

Soil sampling was conducted across the Canadian Maritime provinces and the US states during 2007 using an established field protocol by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) and the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia provincial surveys.
