Abstract

A comparative assessment was carried out of the technical/environmental sustainability of five different contaminated land remediation projects completed in the UK between 1997 and 2002. The remediation technologies employed in those projects were in situ stabilisation/solidification, soil washing, ex situ bioremediation, cover system, and excavation and disposal to landfill. A further objective of the assessment was to highlight areas of sustainability concerns for the individual technologies and projects. The assessment is based around four principal criteria defined by the authors. Each project was assessed using both an overall multi-criteria analysis, detailed in Part 1 of this paper, and a detailed impact assessment, detailed here in Part 2.
