Site Identification of the GNSS Monument Site Name : WHIT CACS-ACP Four Character ID : WHIT Monument Inscription : 7787017 IERS DOMES Number : 40136M001 CDP Number : Monument Description : Concrete Pier Height of the Monument : 1.50 Monument Foundation : Exposed bedrock Foundation Depth : Marker Description : Brass Plate Date Installed : 1996-06-07 Geologic Characteristic : BEDROCK Bedrock Type : METAMORPHIC Bedrock Condition : FRESH Fracture Spacing : Fault zones nearby : Distance/activity : Additional Information : Operational 09-JUN-1995; data also available for : June - Sept. 1995. This station is part of : Western Canada Deformation Array (WCDA) as well : as the Canadian Active Control System (CACS). : The following information is current as of : 26-NOV-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 The concrete : pier is anchored to exposed bedrock using steel : re-enforcement bars. 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.
