6. If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/I are detected in any downgradient monitoring well, additional sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify the individual constituents
comprising this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in the background monitor well exceeds 10 mg/I, this concentration will be taken to represent the naturally occurring
TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC concentration in the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling and analysis as described above.

Heavy machinery dredging up phosphate
Collecting at the Mine:
The PCS Phosphate mine is private. However, they welcome fossil hunters.
Each season, the mine allows clubs and individuals that apply for collecting slots
to enter the mine. The mine simply asks that hunters only come in once a
season, to give other hunters a fair chance to obtain slots. To obtain a slot, you
must have made prior arrangements and be on the collecting list before the
collecting season in order to gain access into the mine. For more information,
you can contact the PCS Public Affairs Dept.
If you have obtained a collecting slot, please be aware of the mine regulations
and safety procedures before you go:
O You must wear steel towed shoes, a hardhat, and safety glasses. Hardhats
cannot be white (the guides use white hardhats). There are usually extra
hardhats available at the mine, but just in case none are available, you should
bring your own.
O You must be 18 years of age or older, and have a valid photo I.D. available.
❑ You cannot wear shorts or shirts with cut-off sleeves.
O The collecting guides advise that you be in the PCS parking lot by 7:30 in
order to complete the appropriate paperwork so all collectors can enter the
mine on time.
❑ Before you enter the mine, you will be given several safety rules to follow,
such as staying a certain distance away from water, staying behind the
- collecting boundaries, staying away from vertical walls, etc. Please pay
attention to these rules and do not violate them. The PCS allows collectors in
as a courtesy. Please don't ruin it for everyone by violating one of these rules.
