EXTRACT:
Do the benefits of soil remediation justify the costs?
Do the anticipated costs of soil remediation in the Netherlands ¡V using various alternative scenarios ¡V lead to greater prosperity? This is the central question in this report on a social costƒ{benefit analysis (SCBA) of the soil remediation operation in the Netherlands. This report defines the soil remediation costs, and compares them to the benefits for health, real estate, drinking water supplies, perception and the ecosystem. The health, real estate and drinking water benefits can also be expressed in monetary terms. The costs and benefits of soil remediation are calculated over a period of 100 years.
This costƒ{benefit analysis demonstrates the efficiency of various policy alternatives. In addition to cost efficiency, justice for individual stakeholders and future generations also plays a significant role. Differentiating between efficiency and justice is primarily a political decision. This study does not compare the efficiency of achieving health benefits via soil remediation to the possible benefits of other (environmental) policies.
