What is Behind Redrawing the Site Management Map?
While at first glance the “Site Management Journey” 2007 Update may look very
similar to the original Journey Map of 1998, there are actually quite a few changes
that have appeared on the contaminated land landscape. It is hoped that the chang-
ing landscape continues until things like the swamps are no longer present, and
the “Litigation Mountains” are almost eroded away. However, the changes between
1998 and 2007 are very positive:
The players (the little
“stick-men” in the
pictures
There is no change to the players. We had the right parties involved
and need to keep them involved (land owners, authorities, public,
service providers, and academics/researchers).
The “River Doubt”
Now dammed upstream by “Experience”, and only a much smaller
“Doubt Stream” continues to flow as a much less difficult to cross
obstacle.
“Contaminated Land
Country”
Becoming a smaller less populated place as sites are brought back into
productive use.
“Clean Land Country”
A place where more and more of our activities begin by taking a more
strategic approach to not creating new contaminated land.
The ferry route
The ferry that crossed the “River Doubt”, between the shrinking
“Clean-to-Background” and “Multifunctional” swamps, has gone
out of business. Few people are any longer are mislead into trying to
take that difficult and painful route through the swamps, and then
facing the “Forest of Fixed Cleanup Levels” and the “Cleanup
Because Technology is There Cliffs”, to reach “Fit-For- Use Land”.
