The two correct answers that describe examples of standards and measurements issues related to land reclamation are:
-
Monitoring of water quality at a reclamation site shows high levels of metals like lead in the water. - This indicates that the reclamation efforts are failing to meet standards for water quality, which is a critical aspect of environmental measurement.
-
The vegetation introduced to the reclaim site is an invasive species that isn't native to the area. - Utilizing non-native invasive species contradicts standards for ecological restoration and can lead to long-term ecological issues, representing a failure in measuring and adhering to proper standards for vegetation and biodiversity in reclamation.
The other options are more related to regulatory or funding issues rather than direct standards and measurements challenges.
