Description

Risk for soil contamination exists at industrial plants that have a potential for release of substances to the environment. Soil contamination may also become a source of contamination for groundwater, surface water and air. Remediation costs often increase sharply when soil contamination spreads to other media. This directive establishes the regulatory requirements and professional guidance which are needed to ensure that the soil resource and associated environmental media are protected at industrial sites.
