Activity:Activity: A broad operational area with several practices.• Example: Vehicle Maintenance
Practice:Practice: Activities that have the potential to directly impact environmental resources.
• Example: Degreasing using solvents
Aspect:Aspect: A quality or outcome of a practice with potential toaffect the environment if not controlled.
• Example: Evaporation of solvents (air emissions)
Impact:Impact: Effects that aspects have upon resources.
• Example: Degradation of air quality
