Redeveloping brownfield sites is top of the Government’s agenda. Yet complicated and inappropriate regulations have hamstrung the assessment and clean up of these sites.
The Environmental Industries Commission brings together the leading players in the sector to lobby Government to overcome these barriers. This essential conference draws on this expertise and features leading experts from officials, regulators and industry to provide advance warning policy intelligence, definitive current status reports and clear guidance on the regulatory framework.
Key issues covered by the conference include:
·New Land Remediation Code of Practice and how the Environment Agency will reduce regulation for those applying it
·Changes in the application of the definition of waste with a new EU Directive and new Defra guidance
·Forthcoming developments on technical competence, verification and accrediation
·Latest Defra thinking on breaking the CLEA/SGVs deadlock
·The Health Protection Agency views on the risk association with contaminated land
This essential EIC conference will provide a clear guide to the complex and rapidly changing current and future regulatory framework for contaminated land.
The event will run alongside Brownfield Expo, part of Sustainability Live, the leading industry trade show.
