With the introduction of the Contaminated Land Regulations 2000, brownfield sites can no longer be left to fester as rubble filled sites in towns and cities and are now the direct responsibility of local government to monitor and clean up. Government targets to see 80 per cent of new development on brownfield sites mean the legislation and remediation of contaminated land is of crucial concern to the developer and builder. This handbook should guide the reader through the minefield of legislation, old and new, clearly explaining how the law relates to real situations and gives detailed coverage of the new Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) regime. Supported by actual case studies, this handbook should be a useful reference for local authorities setting out to prepare brownfield site audits and strategies, and developers, consultants and contractors charged with the clean-up responsibility.
