Remediation is the action taken to decontaminate a site or reduce the contamination to an acceptable level. Examples of types of remediation are as follows:
• Removal of contaminated soil to an appropriate landfill site with any void created replaced, if necessary, with uncontaminated soil.
• Containment of contamination, for example, lining and capping of the site.
• Treatment by chemical, physical or biological processes to destroy, remove or make safe contaminants.
A Remediation Statement will require to be submitted for approval before any works commence. It is a document detailing the objectives, methodology and procedures of the proposed remediation works.
