Four articles focus on aspects of contaminated land and its remediation. "Dirty minded" looks at the work of remediation specialists after July 2004 changes to the landfill directive (Directive 99/31/EC) have made house builders increasingly reluctant to excavate and dispose of contaminated soils to landfill due to escalating costs. "Dishing the dirt" offers advice on how builders can benefit from carefully planned remediation programmes. "Keeping it clean" explains the implications of a recent High Court case,"Circular Facilities (London) Limited v Sevenoaks District Council" ([2005] EWHC 865 (Admin), L130074) which exposes developers to liability for contamination caused by others. "Don't mess up" advises developers to know their limitations in dealing with contaminated sites and to know when to call in the specialists.
