<br />d) Attend and participate in Project meetings, including trainings and conferences, to inform
<br />Project personnel about the potential for TCR discoveries and the appropriate courses of
<br />action if/when a discovery occurs;

<br />detailing each TCR discovery, including but not limited to, the date and time, location on the
<br />Project Site, nature of the soil In the discovery location, facts pertaining to the Project
