Definition |
Effluent |
Any treated or untreated liquid discharge from Berkeley Lab or from a Laboratory facility |
Environmental monitoring |
The collection and analysis of environmental samples or direct measurements of environmental media. Environmental monitoring consists of three major activities: effluent monitoring, environmental surveillance, and meteorological monitoring. |
Environmental surveillance |
The collection and analysis of samples, or direct measurements of air, water, soil, foodstuff, biota, and other media from Berkeley Lab and its environs, for the purpose of determining compliance with applicable standards and permit requirements, assessing radiation exposures of members of the public, and assessing the effects, if any, on the local environment. |
Environmental occurrence |
Any sudden or sustained deviation from a regulated or planned performance at an operation that has environmental protection and compliance significance |
Pollution prevention |
Reducing or eliminating waste at the source by modifying production processes, promoting the use of nontoxic or less-toxic substances, implementing conservation techniques, and reusing materials rather than putting them into the waste stream |
State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) |
The agency responsible for promulgating the California General Permit for Storm Water Discharge Associated with Industrial Activities and the Permit for Storm Water Discharge Associated with Construction Activities. At Berkeley Lab, these permits are administered and enforced by the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board, with assistance from the City of Berkeley. |
Sustainable design |
A systems approach to design and construction for facilities, systems, and equipment that ensures consideration of the optimization of ecological and human issues in light of acceptable economic constraints. Considerations include measures such as minimizing storm water run-off, optimizing site potential, minimizing energy consumption, protecting and conserving water, using environmentally preferable products and services, enhancing indoor environmental quality, and optimizing operational and maintenance practices. |
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) |
A federal agency responsible for enforcing environmental laws. In California, some of this responsibility is typically delegated to state and local regulatory agencies. |
