On 19 December 2024, deliverable 5.1 “Spatial planning models, prioritization and approaches for contaminated soil and land reuse” was submitted. This deliverable consists of 2 parts.
- PART A: Defining barriers and potential solutions for reuse of contaminated land and soils (Task 5.1)
- PART B: Strategies for maximizing the reuse of excavated soils (Task 5.2).
Although the deliverable is submitted, activities continue. In the next steps further consultation with the ITAs will be done by the ITA and consortium partners to further supplement the material for both PART A and B. For PART A the focus lies on linking solutions to the defined barriers by consulting the different ITAs. For PART B, an open online survey is being transmitted via key stakeholder networks across Europe in parallel with an open consultation on the template which has been developed. The outcomes of the survey will be used to support a cross-cutting review of systems for soil re-use across Europe and their potential for replication in Europe to be submitted to an open access journal. The consultation outcomes will be used to setup a final “Operational Template for Administering Soil Reuse Schemes”.
