Forensic Engineering in the Assessment of Contaminated Land
Land affected by a legacy of industrial and commercial activities including domestic and accidental contaminative spillages is termed contaminated land. Recent research estimates there are approximately 325,000 contaminated sites in the UK with an annual spend of approximately £1.2 billion on regeneration and remediation. Following the `polluter pays' principle, those involved in pollution are liable to take appropriate action and return the land to its original form. Where the polluter cannot be identified, remedial and regeneration costs are borne by the public exchequer. Alternatively, forensic engineering can be applied to identify persons liable of polluting air, land, groundwater and surface waters and also to assist in recovering remedial costs through litigation. This paper describes effective and practical methodologies for the forensic assessment of contaminated sites with regard to determination of polluter responsibility and allocation of associated liabilities under UK and European legislation.
