How is it dealt with in Renfrewshire?

The Council's environmental protection division inspects all Renfrewshire land and identifies any contaminated areas. They carry out a range of tasks:

• making sure that any identified land is cleaned up and that the work is done properly.
• designating 'special sites' for which the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) has enforcement responsibility.
• keeping a public register containing information on identified contaminated land

Renfrewshire Council completed a contaminated land strategy for Renfrewshire in September 2001. Then Scottish Executive provided guidance on which the strategy is based. You can download the Contaminated Land Strategy below. All local libraries throughout Renfrewshire hold copies of the strategy. Adobe Acrobat Reader is needed to view this document.
