Phase II of the study will consist of an architectural-engineerin- g study of each pile based on the recommendations of the Phase I team. If the recommendation calls for stabilization, the Phase II team will determine how that particular pile will be stabilized. will also consider They the procedures to be used in returning windblown tailings and those used in construction back into the pile. Should the recommendation of the Phase I team be to remove the pile from the present site, the Phase II team will determine the extent of ground contamination through leaching, an appropriate disposal site to which this pile can 'be moved Water, Stone, occupies The books 84 full-col- or Sky. photos and descriptive text and captions supply a visual essay on Lake Powell and Glen Canyon, describing graphically the features and process that make this region so spectacularly intriguing.
