Action Levels definition

Contamination exceeding action levels indicates a potential threat to human health and/or the environment which may require further study. Action levels are also used as a reference point for developing final cleanup standards.

Examples of Action Levels in a sentence

  • For greater clarity, Low Action Levels are applied once an identified Low Action Level threshold is passed.

  • Consideration of activity changes and/or reductions in project activities are expected to occur in conjunction with High Action Levels and may also occur in relation to some Moderate Action Levels.

  • Using the principle of precautionary action, most impacts encountered should be dealt with at Low Action Levels.

  • Low Action Levels are focused on improving the understanding of the situation that is causing the noted changes and to plan for more substantive responses (i.e., Moderate and High Action Levels) if/as required, and may include relatively minor remedial actions (mitigation measures).

  • In some instances, Moderate and High Action Levels may not be defined until a Low Action Level is reached, and then defined during the subsequent planning stage.

  • Low Action Levels will be set at levels that are precautionary, but allow for agreed upon variation as the Project transitions from predictions made during planning stages, into operations.

  • Where it is necessary and appropriate to include specific measurable thresholds, these may be developed with Action Levels over and above ongoing typical mitigation and monitoring for the Project.

  • Low Action Levels are designed to respond to situations where monitoring results indicate a change in environmental benchmarks, or where data or observations indicate a move away from background or predicted impact levels (including but not limited to, impacts above what is predicted in the environmental assessment and subsequent project assessments).

  • Additionally, it is understood that the progression from Low to Moderate and finally High Action Levels is predicated on there being evidence that reasonably links project activities to the impact(s) in question.
