Environmental · Defined
Engineering control (environmental)
A physical measure designed to contain contamination or reduce exposure, such as a cap or a vapor-control system.
Why it matters
The measure can require inspection, maintenance, and limits on disturbance. Construction planning should account for preserving or modifying it through an approved process.
In practice
A project example
A pavement cap cannot be excavated for new utilities without considering the site’s management requirements.
