d. Personnel Requirements.
(1) OE detection instrument testing will be managed by a qualified geophysicist. The
requirements for the geophysicist are presented in the OE MCX DID OE-025, "Personnel/Work
Standards", which is located on the OE MCX website at http://www.hnd.usace.army.mil/oew.
(2) Training and medical surveillance requirements for the on-site geophysical mapping
crews will be in accordance with Chapter 24 of this document.
(3) During all field investigation activities, the crew must be accompanied by UXO
personnel who will ensure that the site is safe before the team begins work. Based on-site
conditions, it is possible that a UXO escort will not be required in all areas at all times after the
initial site visit. However, such a decision will be made jointly by the OE Safety Specialist and
UXOSO who may rescind or modify it at any time.
21-4. Location Surveying and Mapping.
a. General. This section provides an overview of location survey and mapping
considerations for OE response projects. Detailed survey, mapping, and GIS requirements may
be found in OE MCX DID OE-005-07, "Location Surveys and Mapping Plan", which is located
on the OE MCX website at http://www.hnd.usace.army.mil/oew.
b. Location surveys and mapping will be performed by the contractor to establish primary
and secondary project control; collect and compile topographic, planimetric, and/or orthometric
mapping; monument and record the perimeter boundaries of an OE removal action and interior
boundaries designating various depths of OE removal, if applicable; delineate the sampling areas
within defined areas of concern for site characterization during an EE/CA; re-establish and mark
OE-related anomalies identified during OE detection surveys and analyses; and record the
geographic location of recovered OE. Project areas may be subdivided into subareas (grids) to
enhance command and control within the work area.
c. Personnel. All of the location survey and mapping will be conducted and/or supervised
by a professional land surveyor licensed by the appropriate Board of Registration for the
applicable state. The boundary survey and metes and bounds description of each OE removal
area will be stamped and sealed by the professional land surveyor in charge of the survey and
mapping activities.
d. Safety Requirements. During all initial field work and all intrusive activities, the
survey crew shall be accompanied by UXO personnel. The UXO personnel will conduct visual
surveys for surface OE prior to the survey crew entering a suspect area. The UXO personnel will
also confirm that the desired location for setting a survey reference monument, project control
point, grid stake, or any other marker is free of any surface OE and subsurface anomalies. If the
