Lessons from the German restructuring processRough cost estimates are indispensable to budget planning

(use offormalised procedures is helpful in attaining goals).

The instrument of non-liability for site contamination is, in principle, anappropriate means of removing obstacles to investment andprivatisation.

Special and individual arrangements for financial compensation forexpenditure for site remediation by the private investor is notunproblematic from the viewpoint of the environmental authorities.

Permanently unsolved site risks and unpaid financial contributions from remediation projects cause a conflict of goals. Consensus between the financing parties is only possible on the basis of solid research dealing with hazards and a pragmatic search for solutions.

The privatisation process has led to a surplus of former industrial sites. Intelligent use strategies must lead to the harmonisation of site attractiveness.

Historical InvestigationSite inspections

Main elements of a site inspection:

Registering of the state of the area as a whole (applicable to

former industrial sites and waste disposal sites);

Investigation of the possibilities for sampling such as wells and

level indication or foundations of buildings;

Registering of the present condition of buildings in comparison

to already existing plans;

Historical Investigation/ Site inspections

The following checklist gives an overview of the data that could possibly beobtained during a site inspection:

Drainage conditions (erosion pathways, discharges into water bodies etc.);Vegetation, damage of vegetation;Characteristics of the soil (morphology, odour, consistence, type of soil, humus content, etc.);Condition of water bodies;Use at the site;Use in the surrounding area;Containment against unauthorised access;Other remarks.

Size and limits;Correspondence with available plans;External areas, internal premises (condition, odour, visible waste or harmful substances, etc.);Special features of construction, discolouration of buildings;Anomalies of the territory, strange topography;Leakage of seepage water and landfill gas (gas emissions arepossible also in the farer surrounding);
