Contaminated Land & Remediation
Contaminated land in the UK has a specific definition given in Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 based on significant harm to human health and significant pollution of the water environment. This aspect of contaminated land management is regulated by local authorities and is based on a 'suitable for use' approach and risk assessment. Contaminated land is also an issue commonly seen within the planning process and redevelopment of brownfield land and in the permitting and regulation of certain industrial processes, waste management and radioactive contamination.
