METHOD OF INVESTIGATION Sample Clauses

METHOD OF INVESTIGATION. All soundings are made according to the Standard South Dakota Subsurface Investigation Techniques and AASHTO Specifications. Auger holes are drilled with a 4-1/2 inch continuous flight auger. Penetration and Push Test holes are drilled with a 6-5/8 inch continuous hollow stem auger. Push core samples are obtained by hydraulically ramming a 2 foot long lined split spoon sampler into the soil to obtain 2 inch nominal diameter soil samples. Penetration tests are conducted by dropping a 140 pound hammer 30 inches to obtain 2 inch nominal diameter samples and to measure the resistance to penetration of the soil. Corings with the SDDOT drive rig are performed by using a California retractable plug sampler, which is driven with a 490 pound hammer. The drill stem is P.K. rod, which is 2-7/8 inch O.D., and 2 inch nominal diameter cores are obtained. All laboratory tests are performed in accordance with standard AASHTO or SDDOT laboratory procedures. RECOMMENDATIONS: Abutments:

METHOD OF INVESTIGATION. Natural Processes Sediment production Conversion of bedrock to soil mantle Not appropriate to the time frame of reference for this study. Bedrock landsliding Rockfall Hillslope mass wasting processes Creep and biogenic transport Soil creep in this study will be subsumed into rates of streamside bank erosion that represents the ultimate delivery of the creep-derived material to the channel network. Shallow landsliding Use of prior reports, existing landslide inventories, records of landslide activity, interpretation of sequential aerial photography and field survey to ascertain the location, volume, and timing of shallow landslides. Application of terrain modeling to identify potentially unstable areas. Deep-seated landsliding Topographic evidence suggest that deep-seated sliding has not been active in the current or recent historical past. Check against geology maps. Hillslope overland flow erosion Sheetwash and rill erosion Evidence from prior reports and field survey. Channel production processes Channel head advance Evidence from prior reports, oblique and sequential aerial photographs, GPS location of channel heads, and extrapolation of measured slope-thresholds for channel initiation. Gully incision Evidence from prior reports and aerial photographs, field survey of sediment volumes corroborated by age of vegetation. Use of spatial comparisons to identify stage in gully development. Bank erosion Use of sequential aerial photographs where visibility permits. Field surveys focusing on determining the volume of erosion according to channel morphology, vegetation age structure, and stratigraphic evidence. Mainstem incision / aggradation Use of sequential aerial photographs where visibility permits. Field surveys focusing on determining the volume of erosion according to morphology, vegetation age, near-channel structures, and stratigraphic evidence. Potential use of dendrochronology where mainstem terraces are identified. Use of spatial comparisons to identify stage in erosional development. Identify sediment storage reservoirs by activity class. Channel sediment routing and storage dynamics Sediment transport Use of suspended sediment and bedload gauging records where available. Application of sediment transport modeling as corroboration on sediment estimates and on variability in delivery rates/export.

METHOD OF INVESTIGATION. The investigation of the Depositary can be conducted in various ways, such as a review of the Manager's administration, an on-site investigation and / or discussions with the management and staff of the Manager or with management or staff of third parties to which the Manager has delegated certain tasks. If the Depositary has substantial reasons, and after consultation with the Manager, the Depositary is allowed to engage the accountant of the Fund at the expense of that Fund. If the investigation can only be attributed to the Manager and does not otherwise relate to the management of the Fund, the costs of the investigation will be paid by the Manager.

METHOD OF INVESTIGATION. Depending on the facts of the case, an investigation may range along a continuum from a one-on-one conversation with the accused with an agreement as to further interactions to an inquiry with several witness interviews. During the investigation, the OHR/WMC consultant may interview the parties, witnesses who have first- hand knowledge of the events, and gather relevant documents. After analyzing all the information, the OHR/WMC consultant will prepare a case report with findings and detailed action steps to be implemented by the unit and the parties. Prior to the release of the case report, the employee relations director or designee will review the report and discuss with the investigator any procedural issues, the specific findings, and necessary actions steps. In instances of sex- or gender-based discrimination, the Title IX coordinator or deputy coordinator will be Used in conjunction with Policies 1.10, 1.40, 1.50, 4.15, 4.17, 4.45, 6.05, 7.05 Affirmative Action, Equal Employment Opportunity, and Non-Discrimination/Harassment, Policy 1.10 Background Check, Policy 4.15 Equal Employment for Individuals with Disabilities, Policy 4.45 Family and Medical Leave, Policy 6.05 Activities and Programs with Minor Participants, Policy 1.50 Self-Disclosure of Criminal Convictions, Policy 4.17 Whistleblower, Policy 1.40 Workplace Violence, Policy 7.05 And other policies as applicable Sexual misconduct, which includes sexual harassment and relationship violence, is reported, investigated, and resolved following the procedures located in Sexual Misconduct, Sexual Harassment and Relationship Violence, Policy 1.15. These guidelines are not applicable to that policy.

METHOD OF INVESTIGATION. Channel management Channel destabilization through straightening and relocation Refer to history of channelization and maintenance (if any). Field surveys of channel management activity; correlated to channel morphology changes. Channel destabilization through LWD removal Refer to history of channel maintenance for evidence of LWD removal (if any). Sediment reduction through bank revetment, dams, source control measures Field survey to examine potential sediment stores. Note: * with the exception of road-related erosion, human disturbances affect the geomorphic processes already identified as natural and, therefore, require efforts to separate the relative influence of natural and human factors.

Related to METHOD OF INVESTIGATION

  • Formal Investigation Once the matter has been brought to the attention of the Store executive, an internal investigation of the complaint will be conducted at which time the complainant will be requested to present, in writing, the particulars of the harassment. Such internal investigation will be initiated no later than ten (10) business days of the matter being brought to the attention of the Store executive, and shall be concluded no later than thirty (30) business days of the initiation of the investigation.
