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. -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

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!! ![]() 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. ![]() ![]() -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator
