Scope

This document provides an overview of principles and characteristics on most commonly used
remediation techniques. In particular, it provides:
— standard terminology, principles, scope, and key aspects on design/dimensioning and monitoring for
each remediation technique, but also an overview of the known advantages/limitations of each
technique;
— informative advice on the remediation option appraisal stage, i.e. how to assess and choose the
most relevant single or combined remediation technique taking into account the type of pollutant as
well as the local legal, policy, socio-economic and environmental context.
The scope of this document is restricted to the remediation of contaminated land — that is
demonstrably breaking the source-pathway-receptor linkages — in a manner that has been shown to
be sustainable on a site-specific basis in a specific legal context.
