Seminar "Water and Land Remediation"

The second meeting of the European project Water and Land Remediation took place today at Unem’s headquarters in Rome. The event is promoted by Unem in collaboration with IMPEL (European Network for the Implementation and Enforcement of Environmental Law), the EU-wide network of environmental authorities responsible for implementing environmental legislation. Since 2024, IMPEL has been under Italian leadership, with Marco Falconi from ISPRA serving as Chair.

The meeting gathered around 60 participants from ISPRA, ARPA agencies, and Unem-associated companies for an in-depth technical exchange on key remediation technologies addressed by the project. In addition to IMPEL, the initiative involves the EIONET network of the European Environment Agency, the Common Forum, and NICOLE. Each year, the project produces technical guidance on two remediation technologies, along with a collection of case studies, also contributed by companies involved in Unem’s Environmental Redevelopment Project.

In 2025, the project will focus on solidification/stabilization techniques and permeable reactive barriers. Case studies will be collected through dedicated questionnaires to be submitted by September 30th, accessible through the links below.

The seminar also revisited previously covered technologies, including Soil Vapour Extraction, bioremediation, thermal desorption, and in situ chemical reduction, with the overarching aim of sharing experiences and promoting the use of increasingly effective and sustainable remediation solutions.
