## About this tender

The Coal Authority invites you to tender for the drilling of a mine water monitoring borehole to assess rising mine water on the surrounding environment at Blidworth.

Therefore, the Coal Authority intend to construct a borehole to intersect flooded underground workings at Blidworth Colliery. The borehole is to allow monitoring of mine water levels that are thought to be representative of the area.
