BO^e hopes that you find some use in the vast resources compiled in this ‘Supplemental Resource’ (SR). It is anticipated that the document is too technical and specialized to be useful for most individuals, except in the areas of their expertise or specific interest. The document compiles information related to professional specializations including: accounting, agriculture, chemistry, environmental science, environmental law, geology, geochemistry, geotechnical engineering, occupational health & safety, & soil science.

BO^e’s goal in compiling and presenting this document is to provide a useful resource for use by BO^e’s associates. It is primarily designed to provide associates with a quick resource to acquiring information necessary for BO^e.

BO^e recognizes that this ‘initial draft’ is not perfect and may contain a variety of errors and inconsistencies. It is presented as a beta release; at the time of publication it was determined that the material presented was of useful value for its purpose. It is currently presented in a ‘beta’ (B) format which allows use free of charge without obligation.

BO^e encourages B-testers to provide comments on how this service may be more useful. BO^e will evaluate every comment presented. Implementation of comments will only be presented periodically and will not address stylistic conventions that are not consistant with BOe’s conventions. Links to outside resources will only be corrected as they are publically available at the time of revision(s). BO^e will update information by outside sources discovered only during publications – BO^e provides references & links such that individuals or organizations can verify the current status of information that is subject to change.

Best regards,
