| Short description: |
Historic land contamination has arisen through a variety of past practices that did not take account of the environment, including processes of industrial change as businesses changed on a site. These changes may have been triggered by a forced closure (for example as a result of an industry going out of business), a planned sale or a planned relocation. These processes of change continue today. It is important that these changes to do not give rise to land contamination of the future. Consequently disengagement from a site needs to be handled as an environmental management process.
The objective of this workshop was to understand how site closure can be conducted in a smooth and effective manner. Its topics included:
• Examples of remediation cases under complex site closure conditions
• Cases of site closure that either went as planned or cases where there were lessons were to be learned.
• Social, environmental, legal/contractual or financial aspects
