CIRIA questionnaire |
CIRIA consultation: can you help?
CIRIA is currently developing guidance for the assessment and management of risks to human health from volatile chemicals in the ground. The output of this project will be consistent with and suitable for use with the existing UK Contaminated Land Regime. It will provide an important extension and will be compatible with guidance from DEFRA and the Environment Agency currently being developed. The proposed document will provide guidance to a range of contaminated land stakeholders including developers, industrial clients, regulatory authorities and consultants. The research contractor for the project is Arcadis Geraghty and Miller International, Ltd.
A questionnaire has been compiled to improve understanding of the current practice for the investigation, assessment and remediation/mitigation of volatile compounds on brownfield sites (excluding bulk landfill gases).
If you are involved in the assessment VOC’s, any information you have on current best practice would be very helpful to the project outcome and we would be grateful if you could complete the online questionnaire.
The form should be completed by an individual who has knowledge and experience in the investigation and/or assessment and/or remediation/mitigation of risks posed by volatile compounds on brownfield sites.
We intend to incorporate case studies in the guidance, for example, highlighting different investigation techniques, comparison of site data and model outputs and successful remediation/mitigation techniques.
Should you have any case studies that you consider to be examples of good/best practice, which could be included in the guidance, please tick ‘yes’ to question B16, and we will contact you to discuss further details.
