If this exceeded the surface value for the intendend use of the
island, then the area would be excised. This might (will) require
the taking of additional core samples to define the specific area
for removal.
i. Issue-Soil profiling-15 cm vs. 20 cm: The group did not

of the preciseness, despite the engineers claims, that an actual
6 inch layer is being removed. Thus, 20 cm is close enough to the
