About this document
Remediation policies and guidelines are increasingly recognising the
value of drawing on the knowledge and experiences of diverse stakeholders, including
affected residents, to support technology selection, and to inform other related areas of
remediation policy such as risk management and sustainability assessment. Despite
policy support for these approaches, there is little understanding within the remediation
industry of residents’ perceptions or acceptance of the growing diversity of
technologies that are being used to remediate contaminated sites. This document
addresess this lack of understanding by providing a unique evidence-based
understanding of residents’ perceptions and acceptance of remediation technologies
that can be used by those within the remediation industry to guide the development of
plans for the remediation of specific contaminated sites.
