Title | Sustainable ecological restoration of brownfield sites through engineering or managed natural attenuation? a case study from Northwest England |
Authors | Hartley, W., Dickinson, N., Riby, P. and Shutes, B. |
Abstract | This work is based on a recent UK£1.25M restoration project of a contaminated canal and adjacent brownfield land. The canal sediment contained extremely high concentrations of heavy metals and arsenic whilst adjacent brownfield land presented localised hotspots. Potential receptor risks had been identified in the context of trace element mobility to groundwater and entrainment of dust particulates; the engineering work was initiated due to concerns that the sediment was drying and was likely to release contaminants |
