CONTAMINATED LAND SITES – SOME CONSIDERATIONS

What is contaminated land?

It is land area that could reasonably put in jeopardy human health and the environment. Increasingly, sites noted as ‘contaminated’ could also present considerable planning, legislative and fiscal implications. Because of the growing list of effects (environmental, social, commercial), awareness of land contamination and ways to remedy it have grown in importance as land demand continues to grow. Land contaminated with asbestos containing materials will need specialised assistance to remove asbestos safely.

It’s vital that site remediation, tank removal, asbestos removal and waste management projects are completed safely and professionally.

What policies affect contaminated land?

Increasingly, organisations, and, vitally, many government departments have developed a better community understanding of the unavoidable influences of contaminated land-sites. Over time, this has brought about the progression of superior efficiency and methodology for remediating land that has been contaminated. Those who work with land sites would have noticed that state and federal governments now have a sometimes-complex array of policies and laws guiding the list of uses and the restoring of affected land sites.

What is land contamination?

Without doubt there are a large variety of potential problems corresponding to land contaminations.
