Good questions.... for the water, personally I think I would take both an undisturbed sample of just the water as found, then also another after lightly stirring up the sediment on the bottom just enough to gain a turbid sample as well.
For the soil which is just the tailings of concern, not a core sample but rather just a good small sample from the tailings pile. (Maybe 2 lbs from 1 or 2 feet into the pile....dry). I'd imagine the lab will imulsify it into clean water to test for "contaminants", one of those being possibly heavy metal such as mercury.

You're welcome Jessie, glad to be of help.

Here is another misnomer floating around recently........it's being said that you become a claim owner by joining a club that has claims for members to use.
THIS IS INCORRECT! Joining a club that has claims for members use DOES NOT MAKE YOU A PART CLAIM OWNER!! stop.gif
Unless you are signing the claims paperwork every year you are not an owner, you are a visitor who can not be charged any fees for "entry" onto said club claims!!

Just had to air that out of me head from some of my recent reading elsewhere. ohmy.gif Glad we keep stuff like that straight around here! whew.gif
