Contaminated Land Management: Ready Reference
Essential
professional decision support tool
This book is for all professionals working with contaminated sites who need to have up-to-date key data at their fingertips.
At the strategic level, the book is structured to help users formulate consistent and effective approaches to the management of contaminated land. At the implementation level, easy-to-use tables, checklists and flowcharts provide a wealth of practical detail, such as when and where to apply a technique, its strengths and limitations, equipment to use, procedures, health and safety, timescale and cost. The tables are supported by reference to key documents including official guidance.
An on-site companion for practitioners in the field and a valuable reference resource for libraries, the Ready Reference will also be of value to surveyors, legal advisers and all those who need an accessible overview of the essential elements of robust strategies for the management of contaminated sites.
