Data Quality Information:
Completeness report:
Only tailings that were visible to field workers are included. Survey was performed on the ground wherever the crews could get permission to enter the property. Only about half of the property along the river was entered.


Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report:
Potential accuracy of the 1:4800 scale field maps is 2 meters, but the tailings extents were drawn on the maps by ocular estimation of the fieldworkers.
