The necessity for national guidelines for the remediation of industrially contaminated brownfields: an example of Norwegian good practice
Abstract
Brownfield areas often have industrial contamination problems and require multidisciplinary intervention for the community to be able to reuse them for the benefit of the community. In the Republic of Croatia, there are currently no regulations for dealing with industrially contaminated soil, the possibility of construction depending on certain categories of contamination, or the use of contaminated soil in construction. The paper presents a possible basis for the adoption of national guidelines, based on Norwegian national guidelines. An example of the rehabilitation of the Notodden ironworks is presented, which, due to the nature of the contamination and the location, can be an example of good practice for industrially contaminated coastal areas in the Republic of Croatia.
