Abstract
A successful project has specific objectives, a work schedule and a time limit for completion, assigned staffing, and adequate funding. The project should be completed on schedule and produce a technically and editorially correct report (Waste Management of North America Inc. 1989; Green 1991; Moore 1991; U.S. Geological Survey 1991, 1959–60).
