THE RRS GLOSSARY
Why it matters to a project
It helps describe a wider contamination context. Individual project decisions still depend on the evidence, environment and relevant programme responsibilities.
PROJECT EXAMPLE
An overseas infrastructure project considers historical conflict contamination in its planning.
A useful distinction
ERW describes a category of hazard; it does not by itself indicate the extent of contamination at a site.
Questions to ask when it appears in a scope
- What area, activity and decision does this term refer to?
- What evidence or output will the project team receive?
- What limitations need to be carried into the next stage?
