This report presents the results of an aerial photographic analysis of an experimental in situ tar sands recovery site carried out by the US Environmental Protection Agency's Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory in Las Vegas. This is the third report in a series documenting the operation, deactivation, and reclamation of the 10 acre site near Vernal, Utah where enhanced petroleum recovery experiments have been carried out since 1975. Prepared for the US DOE's LETC, the report presents an analysis of site reclamation and recovery progress between May and September 1982. Aerial photographic analysis indicated an increase of 1.2 acres exhibiting signs of vegetative recovery since May 1982, amounting to a net overall increase of 0.7 acres since an initial monitoring overflight in October 1980. Additionally, of 18 support structures and associated equipment present on the site in May 1982, all but 3 had been removed by September 1982.
