Phase 3 Environmental Remediation

Solmek Ltd

Phase 3 Land Remediation Strategy

If remediation is deemed necessary following the Phase 2 works, such as in the case of heavily contaminated sites e.g. former petrol stations, gas works or chemical plants, then a site specific remediation strategy can be produced. Design of a site specific remediation strategy, as with all stages of investigation, involves consultation with the regulatory authorities to ensure satisfactory design and implementation of the remediation programme. This can include removal of contamination hot spots, further soil sampling, chemical analysis and additional monitoring, if additional information is required to supplement the previous investigation(s).

At Solmek, we offer an extensive range of environmental remediation consultancy services.

Ground & Land Remediation

If the site investigation report identifies unacceptable geotechnical, environmental or contamination risks which may potentially make the development unsuitable for the proposed end usage, then land remedial actions or controls will be necessary to meet legislative requirements and satisfy planning conditions. The Environmental Remediation Statement is a site-specific document and represents a formal agreement between the developer and the regulatory authorities through the remediation process.

After the selection of remediation techniques, detailed plans for the phase 4 validation of the remedial works are produced. Remedial target criteria state the levels of contamination that can remain on-site without posing an unacceptable risk to any receptors. Depending on the project, contingency plans are produced if the remediation proves unsuccessful or if unexpected contamination is encountered.

 

It is beneficial to consult the regulatory authorities at the early design stages of the Remediation Statement, as their involvement can streamline the acceptance of proposals and the following validation process.

Environmental Remediation

frequently asked questions

Should you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact Solmek and one of our team will be happy to assist you.

Ground remediation is the process of removing contaminants such as metals, chemicals and other hazardous materials from both the topsoil and subsurface. Environmental land remediation work is usually required on brownfield sites and industrial sites that are being redeveloped. There are a number of options and methods available in relation to ground remediation.

Environmental remediation is important as it ensures a safer environment for future developments including residential properties, schools, public buildings, commercial premises and industrial land use. 

The simple answer is yes. The type of remediation required will depend on the contamination found and how much of the land is contaminated. We will advise you on the best option to choose to ensure remediation work is carried out correctly in line with current environmental regulations.

The cost of environmental remediation will depend on the type of ground you have, the size of the land, what type of contaminants are present and what ground remediation work is needed.

Land remediation relief can only be claimed on a corporation tax return. However, it is not available on the expenditure that has or may be made in relation to capital allowance. In terms of capital gains tax, expenditure relating to ground remediation relief is not a deduction that is allowable.
