The USGS review process will include an in-district colleague review, an out-of-district colleague review, a regional review, a review at the directors office, and a final review by [::>sponsoring agency<::]. After passing through all reviews, the final report will be published. Benefits An investigation into bridge scour at this level of detail will be the first of its type for [::>study area<::] and will provide insight to the severity of the problem of bridge scour in [::>study area,.:]. The report published at the end of the project will aid bridge designers by providing reliable onsite research information that can be used to evaluate and select predictive equations. This study also will provide a data base of bridge-scour data collected at sites from different geographical areas of the state that represent a wide range of drainage-basin sizes and streambed compostions. The report will be a useful tool in helping to produce economical foundation designs for bridge sites in [::>study area<..] Reports A U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigation Report wiil be published summarizing the comparison between the observed local scour depths at each site and the estimated local scour depths from the published prediction equations. The preliminary title of the report is "Evaluation ot' Bridge-Scour Data at Selected Sites in [..)study area<..]". It will contain a complete review of the project objectives, methOds, and site descriptions, graphic displays of observed scour at sites, and an evaluation of scour prediction equations and geophysical ,teChniques in defining local scour.
