520			_aReviews the processes and techniques necessary for carrying out site investigations and assessments of contaminated land intended for reuse. This area of activity has become increasingly important since the introduction of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 Part IIA and the government drive to construct over 60% of new homes on previously used land. Summarises the assessment phases: site investigation, risk assessment, environmental fate analysis and exposure assessment. Concludes that there will be greater need for more complex information to be collated in future and more investment at the site investigation design stage, particularly as the demands of the landfill directive (Directive 99/31/EC) and waste acceptance criteria come to impact on those involved in the contaminated land industry.
