520 _aMainly for Students article considers the difficulties involved in identifying the guilty party when land becomes contaminated. The principle set out in the Environment Act 1995 is that the polluter should pay for remediation. A remediation notice should be served upon a person representing the party responsible for the pollution or who knowingly permitted the contamination. The notice specifies the required works to be carried out. The secretary of state's guidance is consulted when more than one guilty party is identified. Notes a lack of litigation and covers one of the few significant cases available.
