5.5 Surface Creen Monitorine Stations <br />Since September 1994, two permanent survey stations, located on the <br />URP bench, have been monitored for surface creep. The stations are located <br />strategically in areas most likely to show movement, at the northern extent of <br />the bench, just above the slope leading down to the WEM main portals. The <br />monitoring station locations are shown on figure 1, and to date, theze has <br />been no detectable movement. The late winter and spring of 1995 has been <br />exceptionally wet, 300% of normal precipitation, which tends to exacerbate <br />stability. With no detectable movement under such saturated conditions, <br />stability of the bench surface is further verified. Appendix D presents tables <br />summarizing survey results from the creep monitoring. <br />13 <br />
