Answer 1

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

1. Monitoring of water quality at a reclaimed site shows high levels of metals, like lead, in the water. - This indicates a standards issue as it highlights a failure to meet environmental quality standards or measurements related to water safety and pollution control.

2. A mining company claims that protecting an endangered species should not be included in permitting. - This suggests a measurement issue regarding the standards for environmental protection during the reclamation process, as it involves the disregard for legal and ecological benchmarks that should be met in permitting.

The other options relate to funding issues and the introduction of invasive species, which do not directly pertain to standards and measurements in the context of land reclamation.
