Power: 2 solar panels, 2 batteries expected.
Landowner: Extremely helpful.
Initial Construction Plan:
Tank Vault Design A. The station consists of a 42 -inch diameter plastic pipe vertically
embedded into the ground to a depth of 7 feet (the "vault "), with a concrete base (1.0 cu yd)
poured into the bottom. Within 23 feet of the vault, an 8 -foot tall mast is installed on which is
mounted solar panels, a GPS antenna and a cellular antenna. The vault encloses the seismic
sensor, electronics, three atmospheric pressure sensors, and batteries. The vault is completely
covered with a mound of dirt for thermal protection and to protect from wind noise. A few feet
from the vault mound is a chicken wire bag of gravel that contains the port to the atmospheric
pressure sensors.
The location for the site should be away from road traffic (1 km), vehicle parking (200
m), irrigation pumps (1 -3 km) or windy hilltops. We try to locate the station so that it bottoms
onto competent rock so we often select hillsides or ridge saddles. In agricultural land, irrigation
pumps are the main concern.
There are no hazardous materials used in the station on in construction. The
environmental impacts are limited to a day or two of dust caused by digging the hole, and some
increased noise during construction. If clearance is needed for threatened/endangered species or
cultural artifacts we hire specialists to perform this work. Either the complete site or just the
solar panel mast can be fenced to protect livestock and the equipment.
Recon Report: Site 062Z -2 Page 3 of 13
It usually takes one day to dig the hole, install the vault and lid, and backfill around the
vault so there is no unattended open hole. The installation of the sensors and communication
equipment occurs on a separate day, usually within 3 -6 weeks following construction.
The communication equipment is to be located on the solar panel mast and consists of a
Verizon, AT &T, or Alltel cellular transmitter.

After instruments are installed, the vault is covered with excess dirt for thermal protection and to
protect from wind noise. Note: A few feet from the vault mound is a bag of gravel that contains
the port to the atmospheric pressure sensors.

Installation must be kept North of this stick.
The right stick is the solar/antenna pole. Keep the pole as short as possible as FAA wants max 1
to 7 height/distance ratio going perpendicular to runway after the 200 foot clear zone.
Pile atop the vault should not exceed 1 ft. max

EarthScope is installing transportable seismic stations to record
earthquakes occurring locally, nationally, and worldwide. The data are ti 4. `
used to produce images of the Earth's interior and provide new insights
into the earthquake process. Planned for over 2000 sites across North ' ' `
America, EarthScope is seeking participation from local landowners �' ,'
and schools to accomplish this university-based research experiment. ,e
EarthScope will: 11 kr, ; W

Seismic Station Specifications ► -p
Transportable seismic stations have a low profile—there is no noise ,\ ` r. ` ,tl '^ .
or motion associated with the equipment. To reduce interference from :`a; i ,. *,
surface vibrations and to protect the equipment, the seismometer and , 1t 'i. , i associated electronics are buried 6 feet below the ground inside a 42-
inch diameter tank. Power is supplied by two solar panels mounted L.' .
on a pole about 20 feet from the tank, with the cables buried inside ti
a conduit. Data are transmitted to the EarthScope data processing
center via cellular, broadband, or satellite communication systems. / r';.S'' '
When satellite systems are used, the 3-foot dish and an enclosure with .`" ��' :
electronics are located near a source of AC power linked by radio to the :
seismic station. The AC power required for the satellite dish is 25 watts _
or 220 kWh each year (about $40 per year). In areas with livestock, a •
•'�
fence can be erected for protection. The equipment can also be painted
to blend in with the surroundings. .4, a
r.
Installation, Maintenance, and Removal tt' •
Installation of an EarthScope transportable seismic station usually . ♦; i
takes 3 days. On the first day, a backhoe digs a hole 4 feet wide and 7 ' ' 4,feet deep.A plastic tank is placed in the hole and cement is poured into
the bottom to make a sealed container for the equipment. On a second M
day a few weeks later, the seismograph electronics, sensor, and
communications equipment are installed. An extra day is occasionally
required for testing and reconditioning the landscape. The buried •
equipment is heavily insulated and the tank is often completely covered
with soil or rocks to keep the temperature stable.
The seismic stations are temporary, remaining in place for about two
years, and are then reused at another site. The equipment operates
continuously and routine maintenance is performed remotely. If the • .
equipment malfunctions, it is detected at the data processing center t; I ( '1.1
and a service trip may be necessary to correct the problem. i
Disassembling the seismic station takes one day. EarthScope �� '
removes all the equipment, cuts the plastic tank at the level of concrete ,M
(usually 6 feet below grade), removes the tube, and fills in the hole. If '
requested, the entire tank and concrete can be removed.
