Land: Thank you for your interest in the 2015 Edition of Baker & McKenzie’s International Guide to Contaminated Land. This guide is addressed to professionals with responsibility for international real estate portfolios, mergers and acquisitions involving properties and environmental compliance within a multi-jurisdictional group of companies. Our guide provides you with a unique overview of national legal frameworks for the handling of contaminated land. In this edition, we have added three countries – Luxembourg, Peru and South Africa – so the new version now covers 40 countries from around the globe. We have chosen the easily accessible format of “question & answer” and asked our colleagues and environmental specialists in these 40 countries to answer the same 16 questions for their respective jurisdictions. The guide addresses the following aspects of soil contamination, which we consider to be of particular interest to the professional reader: the respective national legislative framework; the statutory responsibility for clean-up of contaminated land; applicable clean-up standards; penalties; agency enforcement and third-party claims; mandatory investigations; and contractual allocation of liability in case of acquisition of contaminated land. We hope you will find the

  • Guidance for the Safe Development of Housing on Land Affected by Contamination
    Guidance for the Safe Development of Housing on Land Affected by Contamination R&D Publication 66: 2008 Volume 1 THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY BLANK 2 Guidance for the Safe Development of Housing on Land Affected by Contamination R&D66: 2008 Volume 1 Foreword The safe development of housing on Brownfield land is a fundamental element in the delivery of sustainable development. The Barker review commented “housing is a basic human need – fundamental to economic and social well being”. Accordingly house building rates need to rise substantially to avoid increased homelessness and social division – but this should not be at the expense of losing our precious green open spaces. Paramount to the sustainability of such development is the management of environmental risks both during construction and also to ensure the subsequent safe occupation by the new residents. This Guidance has been written to support and supplement the substantial body of existing advice in this field. Our aim has been to ensure that it is consistent with current best practice, it aligns with the Model Procedures and that it provides pragmatic and accessible advice which is equally useful and relevant to developers, regulators and their specialist advisors.

  • 13Contaminated Land
    13 Contaminated Land 13 CONTAMINATED LAND 13.1 Introduction a) Scope of Assessment 13.1.1 This Chapter of the Environmental Appraisal (EnvApp) provides an assessment of the current status of land contamination within the Hinkley C Development Site and the potential effects that construction and operation of the development may have with regard to the disturbance and mobilisation of potential contaminants present within the site. The following aspects are covered: Identification of the extent, type and likelihood of contamination within soils/land in the study area; Assessment of the capacity of scheme construction and operation to cause disturbance to potentially contaminated land; and Recommend management strategies, if determined necessary, to deal with potential disturbance to contaminated land and the mobilisation of contaminants. 13.1.2 The site boundary and study area for this assessment is shown in Figure 13.1. A detailed description of the proposed development is provided in Chapter 2, Volume 2 of the EnvApp. 13.1.3 The data presented within this chapter is limited to the areas investigated as part of the fieldworks, the visual observations at the time of the fieldworks and chemical analyses taken on the samples collected from site. Given the potential sources of contamination identified on areas which have not been subjected to site investigation, and without the necessary intrusive investigation data, further potential risk from contamination and the associated impacts cannot be discounted from areas that have not been subjected to site investigation. b) Legislation, Policy and Guidance 13.1.4 Aspects of legislation, planning policy and guidance of relevance to the Development Site and the management of contaminated land are presented below.

  • Contaminated Land Strategy 2019-2024
    Contaminated Land Strategy 2019-2024 Grafton House, 15-17 Russell Road, Ipswich, Suffolk, IP1 2DE www.ipswich.gov.uk EXECUTIVE SUMMARY There is a substantial legacy of contaminated land in the United Kingdom, due to its long industrial heritage and previous waste disposal practices. There are now various regimes in place to prevent new contamination however the historic contamination remains and still has the potential to adversely affect people’s health, as well as damage water quality, ecological systems and property. The Environmental Protection Act 1990, Part 2A requires all local authorities to inspect its area for the purpose of identifying contaminated land. Each local authority must develop and publish a strategic approach to identifying and securing the remediation of contaminated land in its area. Ipswich Borough Council first published its strategy in January 2002, followed by revisions in 2006, 2010 and 2013. This document is the 4rd update of the Strategy. The Strategy sets out how Ipswich Borough Council will identify and deal with contaminated land. The programme of inspection and intervention will be based on identifying risk and those of high risk given priority. 2 CONTENTS 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Aims and objectivise 1.2 Government Policy 1.3 Definition of Contaminated Land 1.4 Strategy Review & Progress 1.5 Corporate Priorities 1.6 Consultation 2.0 Characteristics of Ipswich Borough 2.1 Profile 2.2 Land Use 2.3 Geology, Hydrogeology and Hydrology 3.0 The Contaminated Lane Regime 3.1 Government Guidance & Regulation 3.2
