Series: Wastes Management ; July 2004, 32-33(2)Publication details: 2004Subject(s): Summary: Discusses changes to the landfill regime following the implementation of the landfill directive (99/31/EEC), in particular contaminated soil. According to the Landfill Regulations (England and Wales) 2002, contaminated soil now needs to be pretreated before being disposed of. Concludes that with increased costs of landfill, haulage charges and the cost of pretreatment prior to landfilling, the use of alternative remedial solutions to the conventional dig and dump will expand. However, reluctance to implement less familiar remediation techniques may reduce this expansion and consequently the use of brownfield sites for redevelopment.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode | |
