APPENDIX C
STATUS OF MILESTONE REPORTS REFERENCED
IN PREVIOUS PROGRESS REPORTS

Introduction

This appendix lists YMP documents referenced in previous progress reports (Progress Reports 17 to date) as Level 4 milestone reports and indicates a current status (i.e., a final, published reference; publication pending; or no change). This list will be updated in each progress report; documents will be carried forward until final disposition.

These documents are developed for the YMP primarily by the national laboratories and U.S. Geological Survey. The versions originally presented as Level 4 milestone reports for use by the YMP may differ from the final published documents. This appendix provides readers the opportunity to obtain final, published technical documents when available.
