Waste management for brownfield sites – practical options for both small and large sites

Robin Lancefield, JACOBS

This presentation looks at the practical options for reusing and/or disposing of contaminated and uncontaminated soils. It covers what is and isn’t defined as a waste soil and examines the options for re-using or disposing of soils. This includes defining what is and isn’t a waste soil, and the mechanisms in place for re-use such as waste exemptions, the CL:AIRE Definition of Waste Code of Practice and other options such as re-use as a restoration or recovery operation. Costs for both disposal and reuse are presented and examples are drawn from both large and small developments.
