This book delves into the mechanisms for identifying, recording, managing, and remediating contaminated land in China, focusing on the liability allocation system established by the country’s contaminated land law and related regulations. The statutory control of soil contamination is a recent development for Chinese lawmakers, culminating in the adoption of the Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Soil Contamination, effective from early 2019. This law emphasizes risk management and remediation of contaminated sites. The text analyzes how China addresses soil contamination risks through legislation. The first two chapters outline the scope of soil contamination in China and the central government's initial policy responses. Chapters three and four examine the regulatory frameworks and recent legislation at local and national levels. The final chapters provide concrete recommendations for reforming contaminated land management, drawing lessons from the US and UK. Overall, the book offers insights into the history, current practices, and future directions of contaminated land management in China, making it valuable for environmental policymakers, academics, and professionals in soil and environmental protection. It serves as a reliable resource for those interested in China’s environmental legislation and contaminated land management policy.
