Revised statutory guidance on radioactive contaminated land laid before Parliament

| Published on 28 Feb 2012 • England |
Draft revised statutory guidance on the radioactive contaminated land regime under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 has been laid before Parliament and was published on 28 February 2012.
On 28 February 2012, a draft of the revised statutory guidance for England on the radioactive contaminated land regime under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 was published by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC). The draft guidance has also been laid before Parliament.
The guidance is expected to come into force on 6 April 2012, at the same time as the:
- Revised statutory guidance for non-radioactive contaminated land for England and Wales (see Legal update, Contaminated land: changes to the statutory guidance).
- Amendment of the definition of contaminated land for water (see Legal update, Definition of contaminated land amended and revised contaminated land guidance laid before Parliament).
The government is not consulting on the revised radioactive guidance because there are no substantive changes, other than some of the wider changes that also apply to the non-radioactive guidance.
For more information on the radioactive contaminated land regime in general, see Practice note, Radioactive contaminated land.
