<br />INTRODUCTION ---------------------------------------------- <br />On September 5 and 6, 1991, the North Thompson Creek mine <br />' site (Permit Application C - 81 - 025) was visited and sampled <br />for cover only. The reclaimed mine surface is located within <br />' Sections 34 and 35, T 8 S, R 89 W, 6th P.M. Sampling was <br />carried out by Matthew S. Hayes. For the purposes of this <br />study, the mine site was divided into four units to be sampled <br />' separately. A minimum of ten samples were to be placed within <br />the Refuse Area, the Number 1 Mine Area, and the Number 3 Mine <br />Area. Within the Number 1 Mine New Fan Site, comparatively a <br />much smaller area (1.3 acres), a three sample minimum was set. <br />1 <br /> <br />METHODS --------------------------------------------- <br />' Quantitative Sampling - General: <br />1 Sample locations were randomly chosen from within the <br />' reclaimed area. The approximate locations of sample points <br />are designated on the enclosed map. Locations were randomly <br />' selected from a 100 foot by 100 foot grid of each area. Cover <br />transects proceeded from marked sample locations in randomly <br />' chosen directions. A minimum number of ten samples per major <br />reclamation area was set in consultation with Mr. Larry <br />' Routten of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division. <br />1 <br />1 <br />
