potential contaminants associated with those uses;

(iii)

a conceptual model of the site indicating sources, pathways and receptors; and

(iv)

potentially unacceptable risks arising from contamination at the site;

(b)

a site investigation scheme, based on sub-paragraph (a) to provide information for a detailed assessment of the risk to all receptors that may be affected, including those off site;

(c)

the results of the site investigation and detailed risk assessment referred to in sub-paragraph (b) and, based on these, an options appraisal and remediation strategy giving full details of the remediation measures required and how they are to be undertaken;

(d)

a verification plan providing details of the data that will be collected in order to demonstrate that the works set out in the remediation strategy in sub-paragraph (c) are complete and identifying any requirements for longer-term monitoring of pollutant linkages, maintenance and arrangements for contingency action.
