The investigation of a site is, however, potentially the most important part of an environmental project. Site investigation is so important because nearly all other aspects of the project, from financial decisions to engineering designs and construction tasks, are based on the findings of an initial site investigation. How a problem is solved is always determined by what problem solvers know about the problem; in general, the site investigation tells the site investigator everything that needs to be known about a site. The goal of site investigation is to understand the conditions present at a site and to choose a method to record and present the findings for later reference. Economic and political factors often play a large role in the depth and accuracy of environmental site investigations. The amount of time and resources needed to provide a complete and thorough site investigation is often lacking due to one or more economic or political factors. By going step by step through the site investigation process, students and practitioners can see the great importance site investigation lends to the overall success of a project. Additionally, by gaining a thorough understanding of the current state of technology and methodology used for environmental site investigation, readers will better understand how to make their site investigations more efficient and beneficial to a project. 000842038 588__ $$aTitle from PDF title page (viewed on April 10, 2016). 000842038 650_0 $$aHazardous waste sites$$xEvaluation. 000842038 653__ $$adevelopment 000842038 653__ $$aengineering 000842038 653__ $$aenvironmental 000842038 653__ $$ageology 000842038 653__ $$ageotechnical 000842038 653__ $$ainvestigation 000842038 653__ $$aremediation 000842038 653__ $$asite 000842038 653__ $$asite development 000842038 653__ $$asoil contamination 000842038 653__ $$aurban planning 000842038 655_4 $$aLibros electronicos. 000842038 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9781606505502 000842038 830_0 $$aEnvironmental engineering collection.$$x2375-3633 000842038 852__ $$bebk 000842038 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=4460043$$zOnline Access 000842038 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:842038$$pGLOBAL_SET 000842038 980__ $$aEBOOK 000842038 980__ $$aBIB 000842038 982__ $$aEbook 000842038 983__ $$aOnline
