§ 10 Abs. 1a BImSchG - This is a section of the German Federal Immission Control Act that regulates the licensing of facilities that emit pollutants into the air. 

§§ 12, 13, 14, 15 BBodSchV - These are sections of the German Federal Soil Protection Act that regulate the protection of soil and groundwater from pollution. 

 AZB stands for "Ausgangszustandsbericht Boden" which translates to "Initial Soil Condition Report". It describes the condition of the soil and groundwater before the start of industrial use.

 CLP-Verordnung - This is the European regulation on the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures. 

Historische Recherche - This refers to a research method that involves the study of historical records to gain information about past events or activities. 

Abfallrechtliche Deklaration - This is a declaration of the waste properties and characteristics used for the proper handling, transport, and disposal of waste. 

Sickerwasserprognose - This is a prediction of the amount and quality of water that may seep from a landfill or contaminated site.

ALTEX 1D - This is a numerical simulation model that is used to predict the transport of pollutants in groundwater. 

Mischkonzentration nach Rührkesselmethode - This is a method for determining the concentration of pollutants in a mixture using a stirred vessel. 

Freimessung von Baugruben - "Freimessung von Baugruben" is the German term for "clearance of excavation sites". It refers to the process of verifying that the excavation site is free of any hazardous substances or contaminants before construction work begins.

Thiessen Polygone, Voronoi Polygone, Delaunay Polygone - These are mathematical concepts and algorithms used in geographic information systems and spatial analysis. 

Inverse Distanzwichtung - This is a method for interpolating data from a limited number of sample points to estimate values at other locations. 

TIN-Darstellung - This is a method for representing terrain surfaces using triangular irregular networks. 

Darstellung von Redoxzonen im Grundwasser - This refers to the representation of areas of groundwater where reduction-oxidation reactions occur. 

Schadstofffrachten im Grundwasser - This refers to the mass of pollutants that are transported through groundwater. 

Fracht aus ungesättigter Bodenzone - This refers to the mass of pollutants that are transported through the unsaturated soil zone above the water table. 

Oberflächengewässerfracht - This refers to the mass of pollutants that are transported through surface water bodies. 

Bilanzebenen, Abstromkonzentrationen und Abstromfrachten - These are concepts used in hydrological modeling to describe the movement of water and contaminants through a system. 

Kleinräumigkeitskriterium der LABO - This is a criterion used by the German state authorities to determine whether a contamination is limited to a small area or requires further investigation. 

Lokal begrenzt, Dauerhaftigkeitskriterium - These are criteria used to evaluate the risk and persistence of contamination in soil and groundwater. 

Schadstoffprognosen - This refers to the prediction of the future behavior and impacts of contaminants. 

Langzeittrend, Grundwasserzustand - These are concepts used to evaluate the long-term trends and overall quality of groundwater. 

Datenbankauswertungen - This refers to the analysis of data stored in databases to extract useful information. 

Thermische Sanierung - This is a remediation technique that uses heat to remove or destroy contaminants in soil and groundwater. 

Pump and Treat - This is a remediation technique that involves pumping contaminated groundwater to the surface, treating it, and then reinjecting it back into the aquifer. 

ISCO - In-situ chemical oxidation is a remediation technique that involves injecting chemical oxidants into the groundwater
