structure of each hydrologic unit encountered beneath

the site. These characteristics are defined by conducting an

exploratory program which may include drilled soil borings
(see Guide D 6286 for selection of drilling methods) and
direct-push methods (e.g., cone penetrometers [see Test
Method D 3441 or Guide D 6067] or direct-push machines
using soil sampling, ground-water sampling and/or electrical
conductivity measurement tools [see Guides D 6282 and
D 6001]). Exploratory soil borings and direct-push holes
should be deep enough to develop the required engineering and
hydrogeologic data for determining the preferential flow pathway(
s), target monitoring zone(s), or both.

should be confirmed by laboratory and/or field tests made o
