STATION CODE: TA.G31M
STATION LOCALE DESCRIPTION: Satah River, Yukon, Canada
STATION REMOVAL LOG DATE (UTC): 20210720
STATION/SENSOR DOWN TIME (UTC): 21:55
REMOVAL DESCRIPTION: Sensor removed, borehole casing cutoff and capped, hut removed.
ACTIONS TAKEN:
Powered the station down after collecting a final screenshot. The site was in good condition with the exception of frost jacking. The door tape was mostly intact, the wood wind wall was undisturbed. The casing was cutoff 13" bgs and the casing was capped with a 6" expansion plug. The remainder was backfilled with local material to the surface. The conduit trench was backfilled and the wood wind wall was dispersed.
The hut was packed with the conduit, well cap, casing cut off, mustache mount, yagi antenna and any other site debris. The hut was flown off site to Eagle Plains.
CASING CONDITIONS: The steel casing had frost jacked 21" above the original TOC above grade. The casing was otherwise in good condition with no environmental damage. The borehole was dry and the conduit to the borehole was dry.
SEISMOMETER REMOVAL: 1/3 difficulty.
The sensor was removed by 1 person with a easy pull.
SENSOR ORIENTATION MEASUREMENTS:
Measured with Octans Unit: b/c 5007004, s/n 34531002

Casing/wellcap marked with reference orientation: No (removed)
SENSOR ORIENTATION: 0.5 degrees

COMMENTS: The station was Lucifer's spawn to install and turned out to be that Old Scratch, Beelzebub, the Prince of Darkness himself had moved in with his spawn. It was 87 degrees F at the station, there were 4 forest fires burning within 1/2 and 2 miles from the station, mosquitoes and horse flies were on the full assault, the casing was jacked and this station should have been 'G666M', even the serial number for the XI-202 is 666! Our only prayer is that the forest fire keeps burning and wipes this place off of God's green earth.
