Remediation
Actions taken to address contamination or reduce associated risks under a defined cleanup approach.
Why it matters
The objective and endpoint matter. Removal, treatment, containment, and exposure controls are different strategies, and completion may still leave management obligations.
In practice
A project example
A cleanup removes impacted soil in one area while maintaining a cap and use restriction elsewhere.
