Good
practice guidance for land quality records management for nuclear-licensed
and defence sitesBackground
| We invite your views and feedback regarding this document |
Record keeping has been identified by SAFEGROUNDS as one of the five key principles for the management of contaminated land on nuclear-licensed and defence sites. Key Principle 5 states that:
...site owners/operators should make comprehensive records of the nature and extent of contamination, the process of deciding on the management option for the contaminated land and the findings during the implementation and validation of the options. All records should be kept and updated as necessary.
This document provides good practice guidance on records and record keeping for contaminated land and land quality which addresses the knowledge requirements of nuclear-licensed sites and defence sites and their related stakeholders. This guidance addresses the following three key points:
1. Why it is important that land quality information should be recorded
2. What land quality information should be recorded and the form in which it should be kept
3. How record keeping systems are structured and maintained.
The project to produce this guidance was strongly supported by the SAFEGROUNDS
project steering group and funded by the NDA along with a contribution from
Defence Estates.
