  "definition": "Distance over which the in-water segment of the hazardous substance migration path is evaluated. The target distance limit extends 15 miles from the PPE in the direction of flow (or radially in lakes, oceans, or coastal tidal waters) or to the most distant sample point establishing an observed release, whichever is greater. In tidally-influenced surface water bodies, an upstream target distance limit is also determined. For some sites (e.g., sites with multiple PPEs), an overall target distance of greater than 15 miles may result.",
