Wednesday, 27 May 2009
ImageThe Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) published its report 'Dealing with land contamination in Scotland', which represents the first attempt to show the extent of contaminated land and potentially contaminated land in Scotland. The report was published on the 26th May 2009.

This report, which was prepared by SEPA at the request of Scottish Ministers, details the progress made in implementing the contaminated land regulatory regime, commonly known as Part IIA, through which local authorities (and in some circumstances SEPA) effect remediation of land contamination that is posing unacceptable risk to health or the environment.
