Description du projet
Des outils innovants pour l’assainissement des sols
Le soutien aux objectifs du plan d’action «zéro pollution» du pacte vert est l’une des priorités de l’UE. À cette fin, le projet ISLANDR, financé par l’UE, se propose de réduire la pollution des sols et d’en améliorer la restauration. Le projet identifiera les sources de pollution des sols, évaluera les risques pour l’environnement et la santé, mettra en œuvre une gestion durable des risques et fournira une approche d’évaluation des cas financiers et d’investissement. ISLANDR intégrera la contamination des sols et les processus de prise de décision en matière d’aménagement du territoire à la politique de stratégie des sols de l’UE. Il intégrera également la proposition de loi sur la santé des sols et d’autres domaines politiques au sein lesquels les sols jouent un rôle crucial. Les sept zones d’essai d’ISLANDR serviront de sites de référence pour différents types de contamination à travers l’Europe. Globalement, le projet est conçu pour bénéficier aux décideurs politiques, aux régulateurs et aux fournisseurs de services.
Objectif
The Information-based Strategies for LAND Remediation (ISLANDR) project is cross-disciplinary and multi-actor and aims to promote the delivery of Green Deal objectives, in particular achieving Zero Pollution by reducing soil pollution and enhancing restoration. ISLANDR will provide a series of tools and methods to support: (1) the delineation of soil pollution sources, (2) the assessment of risks, (3) the implementation of sustainable and risk-based land management (SRBLM), (4) the inclusion of wider valuation approach in financial and investment cases, (5) closer integration of land contamination and spatial planning decision-making and (6) key policy relevant findings related to the Soil Strategy, proposed soil health law and other areas of policy where soil is a crucial consideration. ISLANDR takes a carefully targeted approach in view of the large existing knowledge base, and has designed its outcomes be easily assimilated by multiple target groups (incl: policy interests, planners and regulators, site managers and their service providers). Care is taken to ensure support for capacity building and also to service the needs of long term repositories (e.g EUSO). Innovations include using CBA to provide robust valuation for parallel benefits to improve business cases; a technical basis for soil functionality as a “soil health” receptor, and operating window analyses of NBS and other low input remediation. ISLANDR makes use of 7 test areas across Europe to provide real world research context and road-test findings, including areas impacted by green transition consequences. Roundtables in these areas provide active local stakeholder dialogue and a basis for rapid implementation and new project roll-out. A key focus of ISLANDR is to facilitate soil remediation in situations where the case is economically marginal or negative, by providing a more thorough understanding of low input approaches and a wider value proposition for investment cases and financial planning.
