Additional Information

  • Involve redevelopment on brownfield sites
  • Occur on locations that have previously been occupied by industrial buildings that have been demolished
  •  Other – any situation where it is foreseeable that work will disturb the soils and ground on site and expose individuals to ACMs that may be present within the soils on site
