In 2015 Audubon Arizona organized and conducted standardized surveys on three reaches of Queen and Arnett Creeks near Superior, Arizona, in order to document yellow-billed cuckoo occurrence and abundance and to provide a basis for management recommendations.

This report is an addendum to the Surface Water Baseline Report prepared by M&A (2013) that includes detailed analysis and discussion of surface water monitoring results in the Resolution Project study area; Devils Canyon, Queen Creek, and Mineral Creek.

The impact of outdoor lighting from the proposed Resolution Copper mine on the night skies as viewed from four observation points is assessed.

This report summarizes meteorological measurements collected at the Resolution Copper Mine monitoring system.  The purpose of the monitoring program is to provide the measurements necessary to establish existing meteorological conditions at the proposed site of the Resolution Mine in support of a future air quality permit application for the facility.

This report summarizes the meteorological, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), ozone (O3), and particulate matter (PM) data collected at the Resolution Copper Project near Superior, Arizona for the fourth quarter, October 1-December 31, 2014.
