Referred to as Coffintop dam, it is planned to be approximately 275 <br />feet high and 2,300 feet long. <br /> <br />This dam, indeed, no dam, should be built without first having a <br />thorough understanding of the geo logi ca 1 conditi ons that wi 11 be encountered. <br />The stability, safety, and effectiveness of the project are dependent on <br />adequate recognition of the hazards that lie therein. A design that considers. <br />the existing geology of the terrain involved may be expected to minimize mid- <br />project modifications to accomodate hazardous conditions unexpectedly <br />encountered. <br /> <br />Such modifications are often a source of increased costs and strained <br />relationships between promoters, designers, construction personnel, and <br />financial backers. To ignore signs of hazards, whenever they may be found, is <br /> <br />APPENDIX A <br /> <br />UEBLACKER ASSOCIATES. INC. <br />
