Regulatory Underfunding and the Drive for Net Zero10:00 BST on 27 September, Online panel discussion |
Funding to the regulatory system that supports contaminated land assessment and remediation has been reducing over recent years. This has led to decreased involvement of both dedicated local contaminated land officers and the Environment Agency in many brownfield and contaminated land development projects.
Efforts have been made within the sector to supplement this reducing involvement through self-governance, e.g. DoWCoP. However, this has been hampered by uncertainty and regulatory concerns about applying this guidance, the permitting regime, and possible mis-use by certain companies.
This Brownfield & Regeneration Network panel discussion, in partnership with Soilfix, will explore these issues, and the extent to which an underfunded, under-resourced regulatory system is presenting a barrier to brownfield development through significant delays, increased costs and additional carbon outputs on remediation projects and endeavour to find a possible way forward.
Chair:
- George Evans, Managing Director, Soilfix Ltd
Panellists:
- Steve Edgar, Managing Director, VertaseFLI
- Nicholas Invernizzi, Head of Remediation, Berkeley Group
- Richard Moakes, Managing Consultant, Ramboll
- Graham Winter, Senior Advisor (Waste Strategy), Environment & Business, Environment Agency

Use of a ‘Carbon Calculator’ Tool to Support Sustainable Remediation Design – A Contractor’s Approach13:00 BST on 6 July, Online webinar |
Soilfix has been calculating its baseline Carbon Footprint and developing a Carbon Reduction Plan as part of its journey towards achieving ‘Net Zero’.
A bespoke ‘Carbon Calculator’ tool has also been developed to help Soilfix determine its potential vs actual Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from particular remediation projects.
By presenting some case study examples, this Brownfield & Regeneration Network webinar outlined how Soilfix are utilising this tool to help inform clients of the remediation option(s) with the lowest potential GHG emissions and the cost vs benefit of adopting alternative approaches, materials & ‘green fuels’.
Speaker: Steve Jackson, Director, Soilfix Ltd
Steve has over 26 years experience in the successful design and implementation of contaminated land remediation across a broad spectrum of historical landuses, adopting a variety of conventional and more innovative techniques for soil & groundwater. He has been actively engaged as a Steering Committee member and consultee for various industry publications by CIRIA, JIWG & CL:AIRE as well as an active member of RemSoc.
