Part IIa determinations

What if contamination is present but no redevelopment is planned? 

Part IIa of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and Section 57 of the Environment Act 1995  has been put in place for such sites.  It places the responsibility on the polluter to pay for contamination.  If the polluter cannot be found the responsibility falls onto the current landowner.

… the responsibility of clean-up could fall to the current landowner

What has to be demonstrated for a site to be determined as contaminated under Part IIa is that there is a significant risk of significant harm to sensitive receptors (either human health, controlled waters or the environment).

WD Environmental can help by conducting the following:

• ESA Phase 1 and 2
• DQRAs
• Part IIa Determinations

If land is determined under Part IIa, we can advise on the remedial strategy and verify that the remedial works have been successful.
