Short description:

It is important that risk-based management of contaminated land is achieved in a sustainable manner. NICOLE has recognised that a more comprehensive approach to remediation projects should incorporate sustainability (encompassing environmental, social and economic elements) alongside effective risk management. The Road Map sets out NICOLE's views on how to incorporate sustainability principles in remediation projects.
