The purpose of this report is to 1) compile Arizona hedgehog cactus survey data collected during preparation of the Pre-feasibility Activities Plan of Operations; and 2) compile previously completed survey data from the vicinity of the PAA that may inform the analysis of the effects of the Pre-feasibility Activities to AHC.

This document presents the monitoring and quality assurance project plan for a meteorological monitoring program to be implemented for Resolution Copper Company for a copper mine in Pinal County Arizona. The objectives of the monitoring program are to provide the measurements necessary to establish meteorological conditions that affect the transport and dispersion of emissions from potential sources at the future Resolution facility.

Three motion-sensitive cameras besides springs within a study area along Devils Canyon. Cameras captured numerous identifiable images of animals representing both mammals and bird species.

Bird surveys were conducted in the vicinity of RCM's holdings, near Superior, Arizona. This report provides an inventory of the birds observed as well as a discussion of results from the data collection efforts.

Fish surveys were conducted in order to determine the presence of absence of the Gila chub, as well as other native fishes within portions of Devils Canyon and upper Mineral Creek, and within two stock tanks in the vicinity of the Project. The Gila chub is listed by USFWS as endangered with critical habitat under the ESA.

The Research Ranch, near Elgin in Santa Cruz County, Arizona, is administered by the National Audubon Society. It consists of about 8000 acres of federal and private lands that are managed for ecosystem research projects by the National Audubon Society, which has cooperative agreements with the federal land management agencies. This summary of the early history of land settlement of the Research Ranch area and some of the subsequent land transactions is taken primarily from information in the land records of the BLM and ASLD.

This technical memorandum was prepared to summarize the results of a long-term aquifer test conducted at Resolution Project hydrologic characterization well HRES-4. Well HRES-4 is completed in the Apache Leap Tuff aquifer near Oak Flat, in the upper Queen Creek drainage basin of eastern Pinal County, Arizona.

Arizona hedgehog cactus survey was conducted along areas proposed for pre-feasibility activities.
