The need for a delineation, and <br /> the appropriate method/level, depends on the amount of specificity and documentation necessary to <br /> achieve the purpose of the project and make a decision on the activity or request in relation to WCA. <br /> Regardless of the method or level used, the delineation results should include a description of <br /> techniques, materials utilized, and a basis for the determination made. As with many aspects of the <br /> 87 Manual, common sense and good judgment is essential. <br /> � � � <br /> : . . <br /> The primary authors of this guidance are: <br /> .
