Site Identification of the GPS Monument Site Name : Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory Four Character ID : DRAO Monument Inscription : 887006 IERS DOMES Number : 40105M002 CDP Number : Date Installed : 27-FEB-1991 Geologic Characteristic : BEDROCK Bedrock Type : METAMORPHIC / CONGLOMORATE Bedrock Condition : WEATHERED Fracture Spacing : 10-50 cm Notes : Additional Information : This station is part of the Western Canada : Deformation Array (WCDA) as well as the : Canadian Active Control System (CACS). The : following information is current as of : 03-DEC-97: : ******************************************* : The GPS reference mark consists of a brass : plate with a forced centred stainless steel : bolt. The brass plate is embedded on top of : a 1.5 metre high concrete pier, 40 cm in : diameter. The concrete pier is anchored to : exposed bedrock using steel re-enforcement : bars to a depth of 0.75 m. The antenna is : attached to the brass forced centered plate : via a 10 cm high anodized aluminum base. : This base provides a constant height : above the brass plate and also permits : the antenna to be referenced to north. 2.
