• Determining the grade or slope of the passage within 5° of its actual slope, as well as its direction of slope.
• Recognize new construction of a passage or tunnel, within a month of its probable origin, up to six months into the past.
• Determine the approximate depth underground, within 50 feet of the true depth.
