Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (c. 43) (“Part 2A” of “the 1990 Act”) sets out a regime for the identification and remediation of contaminated land. The Radioactive Contaminated Land (Enabling Powers) (England) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/3467) (“the Powers Regulations”) applied the powers under the 1990 Act to make regulations and guidance in relation to radioactive substances. These Regulations, which apply to England only, are made pursuant to the powers under Part 2A of the 1990 Act as modified by the Powers Regulations and make provision for Part 2A to have effect with modifications for the purpose of the identification and remediation of radioactive contaminated land other than in circumstances where the operator of a nuclear installation is liable under the Nuclear Installations Act 1965 (c. 57), or in related circumstances (see regulation 17).
