ABSTRACT
The basic goals of data analysis and interpretation are to increase one’s knowledge and understanding of site conditions, both surfical and subsurface through evaluation of data collected during the Phase II scope of work. These efforts typical begin with the field observations that are later supported by laboratory evaluations. These analysis and interpretation efforts then attempt to define the actual field conditions and processes based on the necessarily limited sampling and observation points used during the field program. Site assessment projects may have many data analysis aspects, including identification of conceptual physical models of the subsurface, definition of previously unknown conditions, establishment of recurring physical patterns, and ultimately determination of the physical or chemical causes of the phenomenon under investigation.
