EARTHWORK END AREA METHOD

RE: EARTHWORK END AREA METHOD
The equation is actually in the name: "Average end areas"
V=[(A1+A2)/2]*L
where A1 and A2 are the actual end areas, and L is the distance between the areas.
As a simple example, if you have one cross section that is 50 s.f. and one cross section that is 150 s.f., while the sections are 50 feet apart, you have 5000 c.f. of volume between the sections.

If I am intruding, or my assumption be wrong, please just ignore this old coot!
Don't know if this will help or not, but am assuming "LAWR" possibly may be un-familiar with the actual DMD area method employing the double meridian method to calculate the area of a tract of land with numerous corners which have been surveyed and coordinates calculated for each property corner.
El = Elevation in "X" units
D = Distance in "X" units from a mean point
End Area One = {[Elb-Eld)*Da]+[Elc-Ele)*Db]+[Eld-Ela)*Dc]+[Ela-Elb)*Dd]}/2
End Area Two = {[Elb-Elc)*Da]+[Elc-Ela)*Db]+[Ea-Elc)*Dd]}/2
(End Area One + End Area Two)/2 = Volume in "X"^3 units
