   Part 2A of the EPA 1990 is already fit for purpose. There is of course an illusion of too much red tape which is created by other influencing factors. Why on earth Government chose recently to revise the statutory guidance instead of tackling these other known issues is beyond comprehension. How many more decades will it take before it dawns on them that Defra, the EA and the NHS can not agree upon what comprises an unacceptable intake of contamination. Clearly the commonly referenced and extremely conservative minimal risk levels are not sustainable and therefore a policy decision will be required. Resources should be targeted towards resolving this instead of providing new guidance which is already destined to fail because of it.Comment Tags: Contaminated Land, environment, EPA 1990, Part 2A, Part IIA
