North Fork Valley Seismic Network - Fourth Quarter 2009 <br />three - component accelerometers. The temporary seismographic station (OXM) was operational <br />during the fourth quarter of 2009 at the Bowie No. 2 Mine (Figure 1). An additional semi- <br />permanent station, NOB, was installed in November 2009 in the Bowie Mine area. The locations <br />of seismographic stations operating during the 2009 fourth quarter are presented in Table 1 and <br />shown on Figure 1. <br />Table 1.

Real -time processing utilizes <br />modules from the Earthworm software suite developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) <br />in Menlo Park, California (Johnson et al., 1995). The program detects, automatically locates, and <br />saves event data for triggered events. The network is divided into two sub -nets (each with five - <br />stations), one in each of the two main mining areas (Figure 1). <br />DATA PROCESSING <br />Identification of Events <br />• <br />Events are regarded as seismic in origin and logged by the Earthworm triggering system if they • <br />appear on five or more stations with significant amplitude, impulsive onset and appropriate time <br />differences between stations. Triggering occurs within the two sub -nets (five stations in each) so <br />UM WAx_wds \PROJECTS \North Fork- Bowie\Quartedy reports\2009 Q4\Q4_2009_BRL.d0C \0AK 2 <br />
