Source control means a range of actions, for example, removal, treatment in place, and containment, designed to protect human health and the environment by eliminating or minimizing migration of or exposure to significant contamination.
Source control means stormwater management practices that control stormwater before pollutants have been introduced into stormwater; a structure or operation that is intended to prevent pollutants from coming into contact with stormwater through physical separation of areas or careful management of activities that are sources of pollutants. The 2012 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington as amended 2014 separates source control BMPs into two types. Structural Source Control BMPs are physical, structural, or mechanical devices, or facilities that are intended to prevent pollutants from entering stormwater. Operational BMPs are non-structural practices that prevent or reduce pollutants from entering stormwater. See Volume IV-Source Control BMPs of the 2012 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington as amended 2014 for details.
Source control means the construction or installation and start-up of those actions necessary to prevent the continued release of hazardous substances or pollutants or contaminants (primarily from a source on top of or within the ground, or in buildings or other structures) into the environment.

More Definitions of Source control
Source control means practices to limit the generation of stormwater pollutants at their source.
Source control means a BMP intended to prevent pollutants from entering surface and storm water and/or ground water including the modification of processes to eliminate the production or use of pollutants. Source control BMPs can be either structural or non-structural. Structural source control BMPs involve the construction of a physical structure on site, or other type of physical modification to a site; for example, building a covered storage area. A non-structural source control BMP involves the modification or addition of managerial or behavioral practices; for example, using less toxic alternatives to current products or sweeping vehicle parking lots.
Source control means a structural or operational measure to prevent or control the release or potential release of pollutants generated by certain site characteristics and uses.
Source control means the use of procedures, engineering controls and other devices or materials to minimize the spread of airborne particles and droplets from an individual who has or exhibits signs or symptoms of having an ATD, such as persistent coughing.
Source control means any remedial action other than natural attenuation that reduces the source mass or the mass loading rate. Source control usually involves the removal and/or treatment of the source mass. Source control may also involve containment of source mass to reduce the mass loading rate.

Source control means the elimination or control of the discharge of constituents into a wastewater collection system that at certain quantities can impact a reuse project.
