How long does it take to determine if land is contaminated and carry out any necessary remedial (clean up) works?
It is difficult to predict how long it will take to determine a site and to carry out any remedial works as this is likely to vary from site to site. Based on a number of sites that have been investigated throughout the country, time scales have varied from approximately one to five years, with some sites being investigated over longer periods before a decision is reached on whether or not it requires remediation (clean up).
