This does not <br />include areas disturbed by road construction and non-mining activities. <br />The annotated air photograph image is projected, with an appropriate scale <br />enlargement, onto the base topographic map with Kail projection equipment. <br />Selective horizontal control from the topographic map is used while <br />superimposing the Reclaim Area configuration from the air photos onto the <br />base map. <br />A Summagraphics digitizing table interfaced with a Digital Equipment <br />Corporation 11-34 computer and CRT terminal are the hardware that, in <br />concert with certain software packages, provide the planimetering <br />capability. Each parcel is planimetered three times, and an average of <br />the three figures comprises the recorded acreage. These acreage parcels <br />relate to parts of forty and eighty acre subdivisions in Sections 23, 24, <br />25 and 26, T. 6 N., R. 87 W. <br />
