Risks associated with Contaminated Land

Industrial processes in and around Maidenhead that have now ceased will nevertheless often leave waste or residue that risks damaging the local environment, although, it may be the case that the local authority has not yet reviewed the site in question, or does not consider the statutory definition to apply. In such cases, this information will not be included in a local authority search, making an environmental search a necessity. Landowners whose land is contaminated may be liable for the cost of remedial works, and the cost implications can be substantial. In the event that nearby contaminated land is suspected, insurance premiums are generally reasonable. Issues relating to contamination:

• Inhalation of hazardous dust or gases
• Exposure to toxic metals, e.g. lead
• Pollution of groundwater, streams or other nearby bodies of water
