2 <br />!~'1HODS <br />Six sailing locations were established in 1976 (Figure 1). FYve <br />locations were established in the vicinity of the Henderson mill or 1:ailinq <br />pond and one location was established an Ute Pass to serve as a control or <br />reference area. Details concerning various site characteristics are given in <br />Table 1 and sketches of the actual location9 are included in Appendix: A. <br />Each location was chosen to represent variability which naturally <br />occurred in soils and plants in the vicinity of that area. Four sper:ific <br />sites within each location were chosen to sample soils, while plants from <br />three of these sites were sanpled (Appendix A). Approximately 20 soil core <br />sart@les from a 0 to 10-an depth were crnposited for each site at eacl•~ of the <br />four locations. Therefore, four soil sanples (replications) were available <br />for analysis fran each location. Herbaceous plants were clipped at ground <br />level and current annual growth of shrubs was clipped in proportion to their <br />occurrence an a site. All species clippings were co~osite3 into one sample <br />at each site. Sartples from three sites (replications) within cme locatiaa~ <br />were, therefore, available for analysis. Each sampling site was approximately <br />25-m square. <br />Soils were sailed using a 5-an diameter stainless steel Oakfield soil <br />sanpling probe. Undecarposed surface litter was removed and the probe was <br />pressed through humis and mineral soil to a depth of about 10 an. Soil cores <br />fran each site within a location were bagged separately, air dried, and <br />submitted for chenucal analysis. In addition to the soil sanples, three <br />samples of the tailing were obtained for chemrical analysis to compare with <br />data for soil analysis. <br />
