Glossary term Air Emissions Pollutants, vapors, particles, gases, odors, or heat released to air from a source, process, activity, or control boundary. Glossary term Contaminant Transport Movement and transformation of contaminants through soil, groundwater, surface water, air, sediments, or engineered systems. Glossary term Environmental Compliance Operational state in which environmental controls, monitoring, evidence, and reporting satisfy applicable requirements and limits. Glossary term Environmental Monitoring Planned measurement of environmental conditions, emissions, discharges, contaminants, or system performance for compliance and engineering control. Glossary term Groundwater Remediation Engineering actions used to contain, remove, transform, or monitor groundwater contamination and protect receptors. Glossary term Infiltration The process by which water enters soil, porous media, or building envelopes from the surface or surrounding environment. Glossary term Pollutant Load Mass of a pollutant carried, generated, discharged, or treated per time, event, area, or system boundary. Glossary term Stormwater Runoff Rainfall or snowmelt that flows over land, roofs, pavements, drainage networks, or channels instead of infiltrating or being stored. Glossary term Wastewater Treatment Engineered physical, chemical, and biological processes used to remove contaminants from wastewater before discharge, reuse, or further handling. Glossary term Water Quality Physical, chemical, biological, and operational condition of water relative to a defined use, discharge, or environmental objective.
