Contaminated Land Investigations
Where there are reasonable grounds to suspect that
contamination maybe present, appropriate persons are likely to be
required to carry out research, investigations and clean up /
protective works if necessary to make the land suitable for a
particular development or use i.e. eliminate the Pollution
Linkage.
The procedure for considering land contamination can be
outlined as follows:
Grounds for suspecting contamination
Desktop study (latter stages may not be
necessary)
Site investigation (latter stages may not be
necessary)
Clean up or protection works
Demonstrate satisfactory outcome
