After having a similar problem I was told that new guidance was imminent called ‘Choices of Materials for Brownfield Site’ developed by UKWirs(?).  Apparently it will be published in the next few months

I understand the WRAS guidance was due for review but due to funding had the kybosh put on it. Having had conversations with various water companies about this they have all said they realise it’s antiquated but in the absence of any other stuff it’s all they have to go on. The Thames Water stuff gives a bit more on TPH contamination which can be used with negotiation with the local water board.

 

Negotiations with them can often be fruitful.

Robin

 

I have come across this so often I’m getting twitches.

 

The WRAS guidelines may be varied depending on which water company you are working with. I have seen some variations. Thames Water have been more stringent on their testing than most, for good reason in the main.

 

What are the parameters you are being asked to test to? The old WRAS guidance is mostly taken on board, but with some significant additions and alterations. 9-04-03 is not really applicable anymore....surely??

 

Kind regards

Dear All,

 

Our engineering section is being asked for the WRAS suite of analysis, for a site with no historical use, Greenfield in the middle of the country that has always been an agricultural field. Has anyone managed to get more information on this as this is unreasonable? I could understand if there were doubts about the site but there were no conditions on the planning consent as it is Greenfield other than the standard, maintain a watching brief and a search of our historical records have found no previous processes that may have led to contamination.

 

Regards,
