Description

This British Standard gives recommendations for, and guidance on, the investigation of land potentially affected by contamination and land with naturally elevated concentrations of potentially harmful substances, to determine or manage any risks. It covers:

a) setting the objectives of an investigation;
b) developing a strategy for the investigation;
c) designing the different phases of the investigation;
d) sampling and field testing;
e) laboratory analysis;
f) reporting,

in order to obtain scientifically robust data on soil, groundwater, surface water and ground gas contamination.

It is intended for use by those with an understanding of the risk-based approach to the assessment of sites (as described in the Model Procedures for the Management of Land Contamination (CLR 11) [31]).
