(Environmental Engineering) Chemicals which react photochemically (in the presence of sunlight) to destroy ozone in the stratosphere. |
Runoff |
(Environmental Engineering) The water that flows overland to lakes or streams during and shortly after a precipitation event. |
Siting |
(Environmental Engineering) Obtaining government (federal, state, and local) permission to construct an environmental processing, treatment, or disposal facility at a given site. |
