| Short description: |
he UK Environment Agency has published a
report on contamination of river sediments and flood plain soils
by metal mines. The report recommends the setting of new
sediment and soil quality guidelines, proposes a risk-based
approach to investigating sediments and floodplain soils in
catchments affected by mining activities, increased monitoring
of these contaminated sediments, and strategies to manage and
clean-up mine-contaminated areas
