There will always be scenarios where illegal introduction of contaminants
may be in evidence but what is the realistic scale of this problem? Some
reliance on local knowledge within LA’s should be accounted for when
making these types of decisions.
The second point I believe will improve as developers improve their
understanding for the need to correctly document uncertainties and risks.
Paul or anyone else do you know if there is any guidance or information on
combining geotechnical SI’s with land contamination SI’s?? it may be
useful for LA’s to provide additional info to developers on how to combine
elements of the two investigations.
