What are the Environment Agencys responsibilities under Part IIA?
For some sites known as ‘special sites’, which includes sites affecting rivers, aquifers and water supplies, have radioactive substances on site or are former Ministry of Defence land, the EPU will carry out the initial work to identify the site as ‘Contaminated Land’ and consult with the Environment Agency about designating the site as a ‘special site’. The remediation (clean up) of ‘special sites’ will be enforced by the Environment Agency as set out in the Part IIA Guidance Document. For more information contact Environmental Protection Unit.
