• provide environmental and physiological monitoring instrumentation <br />• collect all field measurements from the study plots (Research Associate, <br />Summer Student Assistant) <br />• collect and process soil samples (Research Associate, Summer Student <br />Assistant) <br />• process and analyze field data (Research Associate and PI's) <br />• produce a summary report of results (PI':s) <br />• provide required progress, financial, final, and summary reports required by <br />OSM (PI's) <br />Seneca Coal will: <br />• furnish a large water tank to feed the irrigation system <br />• keep the tank supplied with water to provide irrigation water to the site <br />• maintain fences at the study site <br />• provide records describing soil treatments, storage, collection locations of <br />roto-cleared and dozer cleared soils on the experimental plot <br />• provide records of source and description of how potted trees were grown <br />• provide funding for staffing and operation needs during the 2006 growing <br />season. <br />Quality assurancelquality control procedures: <br />Shepperd and Musselman will administer agreements, recruit a qualified <br />temporary research associate and summer student assistant, provide training, on-site <br />supervision, and insure quality control of all field and lab operations. Measurements <br />and sample collections will be made and recorded a11he intervals specified above. <br />Field staff conducting growth and pressure measurements will be trained on correct <br />measuring protocols by both PI's. Musselman, will train field personnel to use <br />instrumentation and tools to measure plant water stress and photosynthesis. Field <br />staff will be provided with cell phones and instructed to contact Musselman by phone <br />should questions arise regarding sampling measurements or protocols. Both PI's will <br />conduct regular visits to the study site to insure that data is being collected properly <br />and to resolve any issues arising during field data collection. <br />Seneca Coal and the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology approved the <br />original study design and have made suggestions for changes that have been <br />incorporated into this proposal for additional research. Both will be kept appraised of <br />study progress and provide additional oversight. 'The Rocky Mountain Research <br />Station Biometrician was consulted on the original study design and will advise us on <br />proper data analysis and interpretation of results. Results of this research will be <br />published in apeer-reviewed outlet, which will provide additional oversight and insure <br />scientific integrity of results. <br />Determination of Goals: <br />The objectives of this proposed research will be met if we are able to: <br />Determine whether supplemental irrigation can benefit the survival and <br />establishment of aspen planted on reclaimEad surtace-mined lands in a high <br />altitude arid western environment. We also hope to quantify whether the <br />quality of irrigation water used in this experiment differs from that found <br />18 <br />
