Critical infrastructure
Critical infrastructure means physical structures, such as buildings, railways, bridges, or tunnels, that are not readily replaced or relocated and are either:
(1) Necessary for the continued generation of power, or
(2) Vital to the success or continuation of other on-going site activity for the public welfare. Examples of critical infrastructure include high power electric transmission towers, air pollution control or wastewater treatment systems, active CCR units, buildings, or an electrical substation. Buildings or other structures that exclusively provide commercial or financial benefit to private entities are not critical infrastructure.
