Any design criteria which can be estimated for potential wells, such as depth, width, pumping capacity, shall be included along with the level of confidence for each point. 4. FIELD INVESTIGATION a) The boundaries of the project area are not designated on the ground. They are referenced on the project area map. b) There is road access to most of the area within the project.
