Contaminated land inspections
We:
- carry out inspections of land that may be contaminated
- find out who is responsible for putting right the contamination, and discuss the problem with them
- formally declare land contaminated
- agree what’s needed to clean up the contamination
Read our contaminated land inspection strategy for more detail.
Contact us to request a contaminated land inspection.
If a contaminated site affects a groundwater aquifer or similar the Environment Agency may take over responsibility for its regulation and management.
