CO 80203 <br />RE: 1997 Reclamation Samulint; Proeram <br />Dear Ms. Binns: <br />~J 1e ~s~~" vi nil~l Cl dlS Q ladUlUyl <br />The following data constitutes the proposed sampling program for the 1997 field <br />season as per our meeting of October 9, 1996 at the Cyprus office. <br />1) Mine Three -Block South (Phase Three Bond Release -fear Two) <br />• This area will be sampled for cover and production to sample <br />adequacy. <br />`?) Area 1 (Phase Two Bond Release) <br />• This area (326.8 acres) will be sampled for cover to sample adequacy <br />• This area was selected to be a block because the parcels have similar <br />topography and are within close proximity to each other. This area is <br />separated from the rest of Eckman Park by several hundred acres of <br />land which has been released from bond. Also, it has been managed as <br />a separated management unit by the ranch. <br />3) Eckman Park (Phase Two Bond Release) <br />• This area (2,061.7 acres) will be sample for cover to sample adequacy. <br />This area is a viable block because all parcels have the same land use, <br />pastureland, and the same post-mine usage of grazing. Also, parcels <br />have been managed as a unit; all parcels have similar topography. <br />• All of Eckman Park will be sampled, except for Area 41. <br />
