Prior to performing testing and developing a detailed site plan, existing site conditions should be inventoried and mapped including, but not limited to:
#Surficial geology and underlying stratigraphy;
#Watercourses (perennial and intermittent), water bodies, wetlands and floodplains;
#Small headwater drainage features;
#Topography, slope, and drainage patterns;
#Existing land cover and land use;
#Natural heritage conservation areas; and
