Report includes a description of existing disturbances in the 7 project area and any other factors that affect evaluation efforts. Report includes discussion of previous work at the study 8 location, including summary of previous survey results and any other investigations at the site being tested. Methods Report documents the methods used and explains how they 9 correspond to the methods proposed in the permit application scope of work. Any deviations from the permit scope are detailed and justified. The volume of excavation is quantified. Report justifies methods as appropriate for evaluation of the 10 site. Report explicitly documents which portions of the APE were 11 investigated and which portions were not investigated.
