    1. Remediation Greening of brownfield land Andy Moffat

    2. Presentation overview Why ‘green’ brownfield land? Sustainable and ‘positive’ greening SUBR:IM research - to date - next phase Conclusions Acknowledgements

    3. Why green brownfield land

    4. SUBR:IM research area green initiatives

    5. Environmental drivers Environmental Protection Act 1990 The Landfill Regulations 2002 England forestry strategy England biodiversity strategy

    6. Other initiatives

    7. Greening and civil engineering – are they compatible?

    8. Sustainable greening

    10. SUBR:IM greenspace research Work Package F Integrated remediation and greening To investigate how greenspace creation can be compatible with, and support, land remediation Work Package K Novel special-purpose composts for the sustainable remediation of Brownfield sites To investigate how combined zeolitic and organic materials can both remediate and provide nutrients for greening

    11. Integrated urban remediation and greening project areas A literature review of remediated soils and their role in urban greening. A survey of practitioner’s attitudes to urban greening (in collaboration with projects based at Cambridge, Reading and Surrey Universities). Experimental research programme investigating suitability of bioremediated and thermally remediated materials for use in urban greening. Detailed field survey of 6 brownfield sites that have been restored to urban greenspace.

    12. Urban greening review Benefits of urban greening in context of brownfield land development Application of greening as technical complement to in situ and ex situ remediation strategies Recommendations for further development

    13. Questionnaire survey In conjunction with Work Package E 2000 questionnaires were sent out. 200 replies with positive information. 35 respondents had restored land to a soft end use and 17 had restored land to ‘public open space’ Bio remediation was the technique that most had used or had experience of Soil Washing and Soil Vapour Extraction formed the next highest category
