| Short description: |
This Manual of Best Practice provides a comprehensive framework
and detailed description of the ways in which composts created
from bulk organic materials may be used alone or mixed with
mineral wastes for the restoration of a wide range of derelict land
sites to create green landscapes which encompass newly created
habitats of conservation value.The manual carefully explains every
step in the process, starting with the legal and regulatory framework,
via the various methods of producing compost, establishing a
compost site and using the product for creation of habitats for
conservation and biodiversity and the remediation of contaminated
sites. Not only are restoration practices at the TWIRLS project sites
described and assessed but the manual also showcases several case
studies of best practice in the use of compost for the creation of
habitats and biodiversity on brownfield sites.
