Province of Zuid-Holland: reporting soil pollution or soil degradation

You must report soil contamination or degradation as soon as possible after you have noticed it. This also applies if you carry out, or cause to be carried out, activities that may contaminate or degrade the soil. The activities referred to here are set out in the Wet bodembescherming (Soil Protection Act). These include, for example: operations that may lead to erosion, compaction or salinisation of the soil; operations that require certain substances to be put on or into the soil in order to affect the structure or quality of the soil; and other operations involving interventions or the use of substances liable to contaminate or degrade the soil.
