OFFLOAD YOUR CONTAMINATED LAND LIABILITY
Are you likely to be prosecuted under the Water Framework Directive? Do you have a remediation strategy for your site? On 7 September 2004, the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg delivered an unexpectedly firm judgment which has huge implications for the land- based operations of the oil and petrochemicals industries, with knock on effects for property investors and developers, and beyond that cross- sectoral industrial impact.
Would you like to sell your liabilities? Intelligent Waste Solutions Limited, a Hannay Company, have formed an exclusive agreement with specialist remediation company, Ecomesh, designed to deliver bespoke solutions to land contamination issues in Scotland and the UK.
This innovative approach was demonstrated by the provision of a “world first” dedicated treatment cell for the in- situ treatment of contaminated material arising from the construction of the Northern Ireland Science Park within the Titanic Quarter development in Belfast. These new technologies are not only cost effective but are in line with ever changing EU legislative requirements and, crucially, can be provided with full environmental insurance cover.

Do
you have a problem site with associated pollution and environmental
liabilities?
The
case of Van de Valle and Texaco Belgium SA represents a quantum
leap by the European Court in its strict treatment of contamination
and waste. It is especially relevant since it confirmed potential
criminal legal liability on the part, not only of an oil industry
major, but its local managing director and two other corporate officers,
in circumstances where it was not at all expected.
