       WATER
       GROUNDWATER NOT                          The observation of groundwater, whether present or not, was not possible due to drilling water,

       GROUNDWATER NOT                         The borehole/test pit was dry soon after excavation. However, groundwater could be present in
       ENCOUNTERED                             less permeable strata. Inflow may have been observed had the borehole/test pit been left open
