    Carrying out groundwater exploratory field geophysical investigations to identify exact drilling locations, and
    Supervising the drilling process and on the spot reporting on the progress.

Waste management short, medium and long term strategies for each waste stream should be revaluated and reorganised according to the findings of this assessment.
