Are we making progress?
The Climate and Pollution Agency has identified more than 3500 properties where the soil is contaminated or there is reason to suspect pollution. By November 2011, 356 sites were identified as heavily contaminated (impact level 3).
Soil remediation has been accomplished for approximately 100 of the most seriously contaminated sites, and the need for soil remediation has been identified for almost 150 of the over 500 second most contaminated sites. Work is in progress to remediate the remaining sites and is to be completed by 2012.
The Climate and Pollution Agency is also making a list of sites that may be contaminated. The list will be based on the remaining potentially most polluting activities such as the galvanic industry and the dispersal of hazardous substances that have not previously been mapped. In addition to this, we have remediated contaminated soil in child day-care centers in 10 large cities and 4 industrial areas. This work was completed in 2011.
