An automated data logging system designed to measure gas pressures within a 15‐m‐high waste rock test pile was installed at a diamond mine site in the Northwest Territories, Canada. Data collected from 12 Aug. 2007 to 15 Oct. 2007 shows distinct gas pressure gradients within the waste rock pile. The...
