520 _aExamines how brownfield land development is being affected by sweeping changes being introduced into UK law on the disposal of hazardous waste including contaminated soil. The broad aim of the legislation is to reduce the UK's dependence on landfill and to move away from a dig and dump waste strategy. Describes the Environment Agency's three point test for waste going to landfill and outlines its voluntary code of practice aimed at reducing waste and saving money. With the costs increasing for testing and treating potentially contaminated soil before transporting it for disposal, developers will invest more in soil investigation. Summarises the findings of the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council's 2004 survey of developers' attitudes towards developing on contaminated sites.
