Contaminated land

South Oxfordshire has a long history of industrial activities that include gas works, engineering, land filling, timber treatment, vehicle maintenance and refuelling, paper manufacturing and sewage works.

These industrial activities and their related practices were not always as well regulated as they are today and awareness of the impacts of environmental contamination was not as well known. Current land contamination, including contamination of the ground and the surrounding environment, can sometimes be the result of these historical industrial activities.
