The third edition contains a significant number of changes that have been made to the standard, as well as several additional requirements.

Test bores expose tunneling troubles
Article Abstract:
The Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District contracted Black and Veatch of Kansas City, MO, to conduct tests on a $2-million test tunnel project in California. The firm's geotechnical review showed that tunneling was possible but the district was doubtful if it could be done. The two primary tunneling options were tested and both failed prompting the firm to examine a third option which is the two-pass approach. Bidding for the tunnel project is slated for Sep 1998.

Myths about test score comparisons
Article Abstract:
Educational test results are not a valid measure for comparing the quality of education. Declining test scores are a function of educating a broader range of the population and are not related to international competitiveness. Additional testing will not improve educational quality.
