support at various stages of a comprehensive process that can ultimately lead to
clean-up of the site (www.fasp.info).
It now remains to complete the inventory of contaminated sites, which in the
case of France led to a number of sites estimated at between 300,000 and 400,000.
With all the methodological guides put in place, the posting of such information
(http://basol.environnement.gouv.fr/ and http://basias.brgm.fr) should facilitate the
management of urban planning problems and development on polluted sites,
regularly encountered in Western countries, especially in the case of brown-field
redevelopment.
