What is a degraded site?
A place where soil quality, vegetation or ecological function has declined. Causes include pollution, erosion, unsuitable use and natural pressures. Degradation does not always mean contamination.
ESWR · EXPERTISE & INSIGHT
Site remediation and rehabilitation
Restoring the function of land
Address the cause
Removing visible waste may not resolve an active source of damage. Assessment considers site history, pathways and potential receptors, with sampling where needed.
A site-specific response
Work may involve waste removal, soil treatment or containment, drainage improvements, surface stabilisation and suitable vegetation. Assessment findings and future use guide the approach.
Verify the outcome
Define measurable objectives before work and review results through agreed inspections, analyses and monitoring. Rehabilitation aims to restore suitable function and reduce recurrence.
