Geological Survey. The DESIGNER shall provide the services of a geotechnical engineer or other consultant, in order to obtain the necessary reports, test borings, test pits, soil bearing values, water pollution tests, ground corrosion and resistivity tests and other necessary operations for determining subsoil and water conditions, altogether with reports and appropriate professional recommendations thereof. The OWNER had conducted four borings along Xxxxxxxx Xx and six borings along the Green Level West Rd in October of 2015. It is only anticipated that additional borings may be required at the Bachelor Branch stream crossing if the crossing occurs on the north side of the bridge. Where additional borings are conducted, the driller shall go beyond auger refusal on at least two of the borings. Soil types shall be identified along with the soil consistency. The groundwater location shall also be noted. The geological services shall be itemized in the proposal and in Attachment D. XXX The OWNER has contracted with GEL Engineering for Level B XXX. The northeast side of Xxxxxxxx Xx and the south side of Green Level West Rd were completed in May 2016. Level B XXX on the north side of Green Level West Rd is currently ongoing. If additional XXX is desired, it should be included in the proposal and in Attachment D.
Geological Survey. The mission of the USGS is to provide the Nation with reliable, impartial information to describe and understand the Earth. This information is used to minimize loss of life and property from natural disasters; manage water, biological, energy, and mineral resources; enhance and protect the quality of life; and contribute to wise economic and physical development. The USGS, created by an Act of Congress in 1879, serves as the sole scientific agency for the Department of Interior. The USGS serves the nation by providing reliable integrated scientific information that addresses issues associated with global change, ecosystems, energy and mineral resources, environmental health, natural hazards, and water quantity and quality.

Geological Survey. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is leading a broad cooperative effort to develop the National Bio- logical Information Infrastructure (NBII). The NBII is a distributed federation of biological data and information, and analytical tools from government agencies, non-government organizations, academic institutions, and others throughout the U.S. and the world. The objectives of the NBII are to make it easier to locate, exchange, and integrate biological data and information from many different distributed sources, and to apply information to natural resources management decisions. The NBII program also promotes development and adoption of standards and protocols needed to support more effective collec- tion, management, exchange, integration, and application of biological data. The USGS, through its leadership of the NBII initiative, will make the NVC system, and its associated data and information products, broadly accessible by incorporating them in the NBII federation. The NBII program will also promote the further implementation of the NVC standards and adoption of the system within the federal community and among the broad network of NBII partners, both nationally and internationally. Federal Geographic Data Committee The FGDC was established in 1989 through the Office of Management and Budget Circular A-16 and under Executive Order No.12906 (1994). It is charged with the responsibility to coordinate various surveying, mapping, and spatial data activities of federal agencies in order to meet the needs of the nation. Major objectives of the FGDC are to promote efficiencies in mapping and spatial data activities, establish geospatial standards, and provide wider access to geospatial data. The FGDC also has been charged with coordinating geospatial data-related activities among the public, private, and academic sectors. To this end both The Nature Conservancy and the Ecological Society of America are members of the FGDC’s Vegetation Subcommittee, which is charged with developing standards of accuracy and currency in vegetation data, the exchange of information on technical improvements for collecting vegetation data, and standards for the classification of vegetation. FGDC approved the National Vegeta- tion Classification and Information Standards (10/22/97), which include a physiognomic classification of vegetation in detail, adoption of a lower level floristically-based classification in concept, and the goal that more work will be undertaken to furthe...

Geological Survey. Oil and Gas Leases: Unit and Cooperative Agreements -- Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act: Oil and Gas Leases It is not proper to deny a creditable request for approval of unavoidable delay time under sec. 16 of the Santa Ynez Unit Agreement, even though the Geological Survey considers the unit agreement extended by diligent drilling operations. APPEARANCES: Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, Esq., Los Angeles, California, for Exxon. OPINION BY ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGE XXXXXXXXX Exxon Company, U.S.A. (Exxon), has appealed from a decision of the Director, Geological Survey (Survey), dated February 1, 1978, denying Exxon's request for approval of unavoidable delay time totalling 4 years and 2 months to extend the term of the Santa Ynez Unit Agreement, 00-00-0000-0000, approved November 12, 1970. Exxon made these statements in its application to Survey for the extension: Reference is made to Section 16: Unavoidable Delay of the captioned Unit Agreement. As you know, Exxon has experienced substantial unavoidable delays since this Unit became effective on November 12, 1970, which are summarized as follows: 1. On January 18, 1971, Exxon, as Unit Operator, filed application for the Supplemental Plan of Operations for Development of Actual Production. Although the plan submitted had as much as or more detail than other OCS plans, our application was orally rejected on April 15, 1971 as being too broad and general. Exxon then prepared a Supplemental Plan of Operations for Development of Production of unprecedented detail and filed such Plan for approval on November 11, 1971. An extensive Environmental Impact Statement was prepared by the USGS, and hearings were held on the draft EIS in October 1973. The final EIS was submitted to the Council on Environmental Quality and made available to the public on May 3, 1974, and the Plan itself was approved by the Acting Secretary of the Interior on August 16, 1974. We believe that under ordinary circumstances an application for a Supplemental Plan of Operations could be expected to be approved within one hundred eighty (180) days after filing, and that the time beyond 180 days is "Unavoidable Delay". This unavoidable delay time was from January 18, 1971 to August 16, 1974 less 180 days -- three years and one month.
Geological Survey. Conduct scientific research on cave and karst resources. For example, the USGS will aid in the evaluation of paleontologic, biologic, and speleologic resources and provide geologic and hydrologic frameworks for evaluating karst hazards and resources through USGS scientists’ expertise in a wide variety of technical disciplines, including water-tracer tests, water quality, numeric (computer) modeling, geochemistry, aquatic biology, habitat evaluation and restoration, population ecology, remote sensing, mineralogy, geologic mapping, and applications of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology. Facilitate information transfer on cave and karst resources through published reports, maps, electronic databases, professional conferences or workshops, and individual training.

The results from the archaeological survey with supporting data, if required. The results from the geological survey with sup- porting data. A description of all relevant seabed and engi- neering data and information to allow for the design of the foundation for that facility. You must provide data and information to depths below which the underlying conditions will not influence the integrity or performance of the structure.
