  • Historical evidence (e.g., a confirmed incident report or accident report) indicates there are CWM on the surface of the MRS.

25

Confirmed subsurface, active

  • Physical evidence indicates the presence of CWM in the subsurface of the MRS and the geological conditions at the MRS are likely to cause CWM to be exposed, in the future, by naturally occurring phenomena (e.g., drought, flooding, erosion, frost, heat heave, tidal action), or intrusive activities (e.g., plowing, construction, dredging), at the MRS, are likely to expose CWM.
  • Historical evidence indicates that CWM are located in the subsurface of the MRS and the geological conditions at the MRS are likely to cause CWM to be exposed, in the future, by naturally occurring phenomena (e.g., drought, flooding, erosion, frost, heat heave, tidal action), or ,intrusive activities (e.g., plowing, construction, dredging), at the MRS, are likely to expose CWM.

20

Confirmed subsurface, stable
