20D.95 Limitations on External Effects of Uses (Performance Standards)*

*User Guide – How to use this chapter:

1.    Identify what, if any, standards could not be met with normal construction and operational practices. If some cannot, determine what additional measures will be necessary to meet the standards.

2.    Monitoring, while not required, is a good strategy to ensure that the standards are being met.

3.    If standards are not met during operation, modify processes or structures to meet the requirements.
