E&RSC 25 June 2008
It was reported that research had already commenced to find out
how similar investigations in other countries were undertaken. Meetings with companies who had previously expressed an interest in remediating the site were due to take place and a number of companies had stated that they had cost effective technology to deal with acid tar

During 2008 Officers met with 3 local companies none of which were able to propose realistic solutions
In December 2008 Officers met with Guy Pomphrey of DEC who gave a presentation of his companies work on a site in Ertvelde, Brussels. This remediation project was featured in a CL:AIRE bulletin on acid tar lagoons dated January 2008
