Polluted site clean-up projects

In another project, the Agency will soon begin tackling contamination at Rye Harbour in Sussex. The Agency has contracted the environmental consultancy SECOR to monitor pollution and carry out a detailed review of existing information. The study aims to identify remediation options. But the Agency warns that success "will depend greatly on the goodwill and co-operation of individual landowners". The area has at least 26 separate landowners. The site falls under the Government's contaminated land funding scheme.
