I've given the admonition to avoid incurring hard costs until the financing/accounting treatment has come together. That lead to the question of what is a hard cost. I know construction/equipment obligations are problems, studies generally ok. This leads me to the conclusion that a geotechnical survey would be ok. Am I safe here? Thanks, Kay
