It reasons that given the relatively small representation
of the subsurface conditions for a project, spacial
variability between testing locations must be taken into
consideration including the orientation of strata
intersections.

The presence or lack of groundwater is usually stated
on the subsurface sheets; however, it must be noted
that the measurements undertaken onsite are typically
very inaccurate and if the presence or lack of
groundwater will have any degree of affect on the
project, additional groundwater monitoring techniques
should be employed such as groundwater monitoring
wells.

Reporting

The report has been prepared and reviewed by suitably
qualified and experienced persons. The persons draw
