The project will focus on the Lexington, KY Cambrian (Rome/Eau Claire) and possibly Precambrian rocks in the graben and surrounding areas in 40506-0107 Kentucky and southern Illinois. This research is dependent on funding from the U.S. Department of 859.257.5500 Energy and joint industry participation. The project would be structured similarly to the recently fax 859.257.1147 completed Rome Trough Consortium project in eastern Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia.
