Engineering Insight
Put the key borehole and soil data in the application body or tables. Do not assume a large ESA attachment will satisfy the review if the checklist asks for summarized site-specific information.
Current Guidance
Use Directive 058 and Manual 034 application requirements. Include site-specific environmental and groundwater information required for the proposed activity.
