• Borehole research - geological core sample description and analysis (BHR-GT), included in Annex V to the Order;
• Soil face research - soil face description and face sample analysis (SFR), included in Annex VI to the Order.

groundwater use system, groundwater production system, mining structure and Mining Act licence and an amendment to the catalogue for the registration objects: bore hole radar - geological core sample description and analysis.

This draft Order establishes the data catalogue that describes how to submit the information. The five annexes to the draft Order set out new rules on the creation of the Key Registry of the Subsurface, which may contain technical regulations. These cover creation of the data catalogue for the data to be entered in the Key Registry of the Subsurface (Article 11 and corresponding annexes to the Key Registry of the Subsurface Order).
