Remediation

Remediation is the removal of pollution or contaminants from land (including sediments in waterways) for the general protection of the environment or, quite commonly, from a brownfield site so that it can be reused. The reuse of brownfield sites is part of the urban consolidation movement and allows the regeneration of decaying former industrial areas, sometimes for industry, but often for high density housing, particulalry in areas of scenic beauty (along Harbours and rivers) and close to the CBD of a city or major transport infrastructure such as railway stations.

Remediation is generally subject to an array of legislation, and is based on assessments of health and ecological risks where there are no legislated standards or where standards are advisory (often called preliminary remediation goals (PRG)s).
