Whilst the www.gov.uk website may have tried to pare guidance on land contamination to the essentials to support policy those in the industry regularly will be reaching for a wealth of guidance published by a varitey of different organisations. It is because of the disparate nature of the guidance that having the ability to search a database by publisher, date, key words, relevance will undoubtedly add value to the industry. Not only is there a link to where the guidance document may be sourced but helpfully a short summary description of what each document contains. The tool is free to use once you have registered at http://contamlanddb.ciria.org/.
