Degradation definition

Degradation means a decrease in the useful life of the right-of-way caused by excavation in or disturbance of the right-of-way, resulting in the need to reconstruct such right-of-way earlier than would be required if the excavation or disturbance did not occur.
Degradation means a change in water quality that lowers the quality of high-quality waters for a
Degradation means a change in water quality that lowers the quality of high-quality waters for a parameter. The term does not include those changes in water quality determined to be nonsignificant pursuant to 75-5-301(5)(c).

More Definitions of Degradation

Degradation means, for purposes of an antidegradation demonstration, the following:
Degradation means the alteration of the properties of waters by the addition of pollutants, withdrawal of water, or removal of habitat, except those alterations of a short duration.
Degradation means any adverse change in water quality or designated uses.
Degradation means the accelerated depreciation of the right-of-way, caused by an excavation of the right-of-way, resulting in the need to reconstruct such right-of-way earlier than would be required if the excavation did not occur.
Degradation means any behaviour towards humiliating another, causing loss of respect or standing in the school community;
Degradation means, consistent with IPCC definitions, direct human-induced long-term loss (persisting for X years or more) of at least Y per cent of forest carbon stocks (and forest values) since time (T) and not qualifying as deforestation. The variables in this definition would be jurisdiction-dependent.
Degradation means forecasted deterioration calculated on an annual basis of Generating Facilities due to normal wear and tear and decreasing efficiency causing reductions in power output.
