This book explores the complex package of mechanisms used to
identify, record, manage and remediate contaminated land, including
the system for allocating liabilities that has been set up by
China's contaminated land law and accompanying administrative
decrees and environmental standards. Statutory control of soil or
land contamination is a comparatively new phenomenon for Chinese
lawmakers and researchers. After more than ten years of
preparation, China recently adopted its first nationwide
contaminated land law-the Law of the People's Republic of China on
the Prevention and Control of Soil Contamination, which entered
into effect in the beginning of 2019. The law deals exclusively
with risk management in connection with soil contamination, and the
remediation of contaminated land. This book analyzes various facets
of how China is managing the risks associated with soil
contamination and remediating contaminated sites by means of
legislation. Chapters 1 and 2 reveal the current extent of the soil
contamination problem in China and the initial policy responses of
the country's central government. In turn, Chapters 3 and 4 address
the regulatory frameworks and the latest contaminated land
legislation at both the local and national level. Lastly, Chapters
5 through 9 offer concrete recommendations, based on lessons
learned in the US and UK, for reforming contaminated land
management in China. Overall, the book covers the past, present and
future of contaminated land management in China, making it of
interest to environmental policymakers, administrators, academics,
lawyers and engineers engaged in soil or environmental protection.
Further, it offers a source of reliable information for those who
want to learn more about China's environmental legislation and
contaminated land management policy.
