CIWEM CONTAMINATED LAND NETWORK (CLN)

CIWEM's Contaminated Land Network (CLN) supports professionals in the contaminated land sector.

The function of the CIWEM Contaminated Land Network is to provide expert views for the Institution and to be a sounding board for current and new initiatives.

Role and Remit

The role of the CIWEM CLN is to bring together government/non-governmental bodies, industry, academia and other stakeholders to stimulate sharing of knowledge and good practice in the management of contaminated land. The network aims to support the relationship between academic research and practice.

Seeking members

If you have contaminated land as an element of your post, are interested in contaminated land issues or require further information on joining the network or steering group please contact Justin Taberham.

Membership of the network is not a major commitment - it is a good way to keep in touch with CIWEM's work (there will be regular email updates) on contaminated land issues and to pass on your views.
