Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
An example of an environmental standard is an acceptable level of emissions or a maximum con-taminant level allowed. Although this does help to control pollution, environmental standard is best applied in this example. Setting a standard for emissions does not impact waste minimization or land use planning.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Permitting is a process by which the government places limits on the amount of pollution emitted into the air or water. Environmental standards may describe a permitted level of emissions, a maximum containment level, an action level for environmental cleanup, or a risk-based calcula-tion. Monitoring is an ongoing process after an action has happened. Compliance refers to the processes for ensuring that permit/standard/regulatory requirements are met.
