Sinossi
More than a decade of reclaiming contaminated land for beneficial re-use has yielded a large amount of useful experience. For many aspects of the reclamation process, it is possible to specify and advocate good practice, in particular for devising cost-effective site investigations; specifying and installing clean covers and in-ground barriers; quantifying the potential for buried materials to undergo subterranean heating; selecting methods to prevent fire hazards; revegetating reclaimed sites; and ensuring that the required reclamation quality is provably attained. For other aspects such certainty has yet to be attained, either because a particular problem is especially complex (as in the case with some landfill gas situations) or because practical experience is still too limited. With more research and experience, these less certain aspects will become better understood. The fundamental message of this book is that at the present time it is possible to identify the basic factors that are likely to be critical in ensuring appropriately safe reclamations. Reactions to the presence of land contamination in sites earmarked for redevelopment have sometimes been overly concerned. This book argues that much of the problem of land contamination is relatively easily resolved by the application of quite simple but logically planned solutions, and that perceived effects on human health and the wider environment are still largely potential rather than provable hazards.
