Australia | July 19, 2022Elizabeth Wild, Partner, and Sarah Mansfield, Special Counsel, are excited to release another episode of their podcast, Catching up on contamination.
In this latest episode, we explore real-life scenarios and commonly asked questions relating to waste. We delve into the issue of material use and reuse, in particular:
- When will excavated materials become waste?;
- The distinction between waste and contamination;
- When can excavated materials be used on development sites?;
- The special rules applying to asbestos waste; and
- How to avoid materials becoming waste and the associated unintended consequences.
We also comment on the Environment Protection Authority's recent position statement in response to the 2021 revised Guidelines for the Assessment, Remediation and Management of Asbestos Contaminated Sites in Western Australia.
