Allow extra time for connections and for wet October weather.

FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
Glossary
- Remediation
- The process of reducing or eliminating contamination in soil, groundwater, sediment, or soil vapor so that a site meets risk-based cleanup standards.
- Contaminated site
- A property where hazardous substances or petroleum products are present at concentrations above regulatory screening levels and may pose a risk to human health or the environment.
- Brownfield
- A previously developed property where real or perceived contamination complicates reuse or redevelopment.
- In situ treatment
- Treating contamination in place without excavating soil or pumping groundwater to the surface, for example by injecting chemical or biological reagents into the subsurface.
- Ex situ treatment
- Removing contaminated media such as soil or groundwater and treating it above ground before disposal or reuse.
- Remedial investigation
- The field and laboratory work used to define the nature and extent of contamination at a site.
- Feasibility study
- An evaluation of cleanup alternatives against regulatory criteria, including effectiveness, implementability, cost, and community impact.
- Soil vapor extraction
- A treatment technology that applies vacuum to the subsurface to pull volatile contaminants from soil in the vadose zone.
- Pump-and-treat
- A groundwater remediation approach that extracts contaminated water, treats it above ground, and may reinject or discharge the treated water.
- Monitored natural attenuation
- A cleanup strategy that relies on natural physical, chemical, and biological processes to reduce contaminant concentrations, with long-term monitoring to verify performance.
- Vapor intrusion
- The migration of volatile chemicals from contaminated soil or groundwater into overlying buildings through cracks, utility conduits, or other pathways.
- Community air monitoring
- Real-time or periodic air sampling conducted at a cleanup site perimeter to track dust, volatile organic compounds, and other emissions that may affect nearby residents.
