Site Identification of the GNSS Monument Site Name : Chatham Island : Station terminated 6 March 2012 due to : equipment failure. CHTI is now the IGS site : on Chatham Island. Four Character ID : CHAT Monument Inscription : none IERS DOMES Number : 50207M001 CDP Number : not assigned Monument Description : CONCRETE PILLAR Height of the Monument : 0.7 m Monument Foundation : CONCRETE BLOCK Foundation Depth : 0.5 m Marker Description : CENTER OF STAINLESS PLATE Date Installed : 1995-10-04 Geologic Characteristic : Early Eocene tuff Bedrock Type : Volcanic extrusives Bedrock Condition : not applicable Fracture Spacing : not applicable Fault zones nearby : NO Distance/activity : (multiple lines) Additional Information : The site is located on early Eocene Red Bluff : tuff, which weathers to a sticky clay. A test : drill hole in 1973 revealed a 2.5' crust of : clayey soil with a very firm 1' layer beneath : it. Underlying this is about 100' of sometimes : firm and sometimes soft waterlogged soil, with : firm layers between 100'-110', and rock : encountered at 110'. The rock type at basement : is not indicated, but may be late Cretaceous : extrusive volcanics. : The GPS station was installed at this site for : convenience of access to power and telephone. : It is intended to install a new seismic station : on a hard rock site on the Chatham Islands : within the next few years; we will investigate : the possibility of moving the GPS receiver to : colocate with the seismic station at that time. : : A preexisting 0.6 m x 0.8 m x 0.5 m deep : seismometer vault was utilised for the : monument. The vault has been in place for many : years and is presumably founded in the "very : firm" layer described above at about 1 m depth. : The vault was filled with reinforced concrete to : make a pad, and a 0.3 m x 0.3 m x 0.5 m high : reinforced concrete pillar was constructed on : top of the pad. A 15 cm diameter stainless : plate with protruding 5/8"-11 screw was set : exactly horizontal in the top of the concrete. : Height of pillar above pad is 0.5 m. Height of : pad above ground level is about 0.2 m. The top : concrete surface and the corners of the pillar : were deliberately made uneven to reduce : resonance effects between the top of the pillar : and the antenna. : The stainless plate serves as the height : reference point. : : Data collection at this station terminated at : 17:38 UT on 6 March 2012, due to equipment : failure. The station is being permanently : removed, since the nearby IGS site CHTI has : been operating for several years. The CHAT : monument remains in place in case there should : ever be a need to reoccupy it. 2.
