ABSTRACT

Determination of the location, depth and total number of wells and borings is typically difficult within any site assessment project. Beyond pure technical needs for subsurface information there are often regulatory mandated requirements for coverage of subsurface data. Some states require minimal borings/layouts on a grid pattern, using specific criteria for spacing; other states impose minimum numbers based on acreage. State and local facility permit requirements should be reviewed before determining soil/ rock borings to be installed during the site investigation.
