Contaminated Land (Wales) Regulations 2006 (S.I. No. 2989 (W. 278) of 2006).

These Regulations make provision, in relation to Wales, for the identification and remediation of contaminated land under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
They identify categories of sites ("special sites"), including land which is contaminated land by radioactive substances in, on or under that land. In relation to such special sites the Environment Agency shall be the enforcing authority. Local authorities shall be the enforcing authority in relation to any other type of site. The Regulations also provide for the content and notification of "remediation notices", i.e. notices served by a local authority or the Environment Agency specifying what is to be done by way of remediation. The Regulations further: remove provisions relating to appeals against remediation notices to a magistrates' court, as a result of amendments to section 78L of the 1990 Act made by section 104 of the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005; provide for appeals and compensation for rights of entry etc. in relation with a remediation notice; and prescribe the particulars of matters which are required under section 78R of the 1990 Act to be placed on a register maintained by local authorities or, in the case of special sites, by the Environment Agency.
