Hazardous Substance: Defined by CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9601 (14). Pursuant to 42
U.S.C. 9602 ( a) EPA has designated certain substances a hazardous and has listed them
at 40 CFR 302.4. Under 42 U.S.C. 9601 (14) the term does not include petroleum,

Injury Scoping: Activities conducted during the removal site evaluation portion of a

subsequent natural resource damage assessment is necessary to sufficiently restore
resources or services.
Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC): The term MEC also includes
