| #D001 | Standards | Standards are legally enforceable limits of substances or parameters as specified in legislation, regulations, permits and approvals. | high | |
| #D002 | environmental standard | An environmental standard is a "safe" concentration of a substance in soil, water, sediment, or vapour. | high | |
| #D003 | Numerical standards | Numerical standards set generic maximum allowable concentrations of substances in soil, groundwater, vapour, and sediment that can be broadly applied across the province without consideration for site-specific conditions. | medium | |
| #D004 | CSR Schedules 3.1 to 3.4 Standards | These are generic numerical standards described in the CSR and apply broadly to various sites. | medium | |
| #D005 | Site-Specific Numerical Standards | These are derived under Protocol 2 using models, equations, site data, and specific site information. Site-specific standards only apply to the particular site they were derived for. | medium | |
| #D006 | Director’s Interim Numerical Standards | These are temporary standards that can be adopted by the director to protect human or ecological health. The standards are valid for one year unless incorporated into the regulation. | medium | |
| #D007 | Risk-based standards | Risk-based standards set acceptable risk levels to protect human and environmental health from exposure to substances at sites. | medium | |
| #D008 | non-prescribed substances | Some substances don't have numerical standards in the CSR. These are known as non-prescribed substances. | high | |
| #D009 | CSR | Contaminated Sites Regulation | high | |
| #D010 | risk assessment | This process assesses risks to human and environmental receptors posed by contamination at a site. It often requires additional data collection and complex technical and scientific analysis. | high | |
| #D011 | contaminated | A site is contaminated if a substance concentration exceeds any of the applicable numerical standards. | high | |
| #D012 | remediated | A site is considered remediated if all substance concentrations in the media are less than or equal to the applicable standards after remediation. | high |
