Description
A 6-month extension is needed as previous survey seasons have indicated, that the dropout rate for landowner permissions often leads to an increased need for additional demand of UXO detailed desk studies. The survey season runs from September to March, and the extension will cover most of this period, ensuring there are no delays in the delivery of the surveys.
