- Abstract
- This preliminary report is the result of the efforts of a group of experienced professionals from federal, state, and local governments and from the private sector who volunteered their time and experience over a 2-year period. The report focuses on the recommendations from the Technical and Field Applications Committees - the two principal working committees - with additional insight from the Coordinating Committee. This report is not intended as a scientific analysis in the traditional sense. Instead, it largely represents the collective judgment of the experts who servied on the three committees, backed by a review of literature and collection of data.
