The two situations that are examples of a standards and measurements issue related to land reclamation are:

  1. Vegetation introduced to a reclaimed site is an invasive species that isn't native to the area. - This situation raises concerns about ecological standards and the effectiveness of reclamation efforts, as non-native species can disrupt local ecosystems.

  2. Monitoring of water quality at a reclaimed site shows high levels of metals, like lead, in the water. - This situation directly relates to standards and measurements regarding environmental safety and compliance with regulations, indicating that the reclamation process may not have adequately addressed contamination issues.

The other options either refer to funding issues or regulatory claims that are not directly related to standards and measurements in the context of land reclamation.
