Sounds sensible enough, you’re breaking the linkage by removing the pathway; pretty standard stuff

Subject: School soft landscaping in root protection zone
Hi All
Has anyone come across remediation methods within a root protection zone?
We have a Secondary School where 2 samples out of 11 detected elevated concentrations of lead that exceeded the threshold criteria for a POS(resi) land use scenario. However, given that the soft landscaped areas are within a root protection
zone, the Consultants are considering an alternative method to break the pathway between the contaminated soils and the future users as below.
The assumed proposed use of this open space will be an informal recreational area and have institutional controls from the school (Accessed by staff and students, presumed 6th formers, and not fenced off or used as a formal play
area).
Do you feel that this measure would be sufficient to break the assumed pollutant linkage?
I would be grateful if you have any experience or comments on the above.
Many thanks
Anona
