25.1 Doing the Right Thing - Right
Peter Druker defined management as doing things right and leadership as doing the
right thing. This topic is about the right way to manage contaminated sites. This
chapter focuses on the intended reuse of “unemployed” land that may or may not
have been affected by contamination. Sustainable Brownfield regeneration is the
right thing to do. So anyone who is reading this chapter deserves either congratula-
tions for reaching this far in a topic on doing things right or an invitation to consider
this chapter's topic as the end point of much, but not all, contaminated site manage-
ment and therefore to return to earlier chapters to appreciate how such management
should be done.
Growing realisation of the need to conserve and target resource consumption has
resulted in widespread agreement that land should not be consumed or sterilised
by one land use thereby preventing subsequent land uses. Past industrial and waste
management practices have however created conditions which at least hinder if not
prevent future land uses. The earlier chapters in this topic deal with assessing and
mitigating the risks associated with chemical contamination. Risk Assessment must
precede remediation if remediation is to deliver tangible benefits to offset its cost
and ecological footprint.
25.2 What are Brownfields?
Europe's sustainable Brownfield regeneration network , CABERNET ( www.
cabernet.org.uk ), defined Brownfields as sites which:
