چکیده
Changes to the Environmental Protection Act in 2012 mean that Local Authorities (LAs) have to set natural background contamination (NBC) levels for their areas. This project collected all Phase II site investigation data held by the councils and used the geochemical data to calculate the NBCs. These values were checked against samples collected in the regions to assess their accuracy. These results were reported back to the councils and are being used to help to set remediation standards.
