Now you will start eliminating the sites that do not fit your criteria.

In this exercise, you will:

Make decisions based on the data driven map..

Text Version:
Narrow the potential borrow sites down to for the construction job requested by eliminating any choices that have poor material properties for that particular job (Consider the general properties of sands vs. clays, shale vs. limestone, etc.)
