contaminated land policy

Contaminated land policy refers to regulations and guidelines aimed at managing, cleaning up, and preventing pollution on land that has been harmed by hazardous substances. This can occur due to industrial activities, waste disposal, or accidents. The goal of the policy is to protect public health, the environment, and promote the safe use of such lands. It often involves assessments to identify contamination, necessary remediation steps to clean up the land, and ongoing monitoring to ensure safety. Effective contaminated land policy helps transform polluted sites into safe, usable spaces for communities.
