A contingency to resume groundwater remediation is in effect should the total concentration of the contaminant exceed the discharge permit limit.
In the sentence written above, does contingency refer to: 1) resuming groundwater remediation; or 2) the presence of a contaminant concentration that exceeds the discharge limit?
Thank you in advance for your response.
As far as I can tell, it means a plan/procedure to resume remediation if this is necessary.
