What is Validation/ Verification Documentation?
Once remedial actions for a site have been agreed it will be necessary for these to be implemented. Following the implementation of any remedial measures, validation documentation will be required to confirm that the remedial works were carried out in accordance with the submitted remediation strategy. This should summarise the actions that have been taken and provide a statement that the site is considered suitable for its proposed use. The validation documents should include plans indicating any areas where soil has been excavated or imported, the results of any validation sampling (i.e from the base and sides of excavations or samples from bioremediated soil etc), details of imported sub and/or top soil plus accompanying sample results, photographic evidence of each stage of remediation and as built drawings where required for example foundation design showing gas protection measures. This may be on a whole development scale or on a plot by plot basis. Validation may also be needed
