Who this typically touches

Business types a matter in this class typically reaches. Our inference from the class, not the record's words; a specific organization is named on these pages only when the record itself names it.

Likely to gain: civil and water resources engineering firms (a standard change or a drainage project is a scoped engagement); drainage, excavation and site-work contractors (the capital list is where the funded work appears).

Likely affected: developers subject to the standard (they carry the cost of the system the standard requires).
