Contaminated Land Management Act 1997

A management order must specify the following matters—

the significantly contaminated land to which it applies,

the nature of the significant contamination (and the nature of any harm that has been or may be caused) that the EPA believes may affect the land,

the action that the person subject to the management order must take,

a reasonable period for taking that action,

any other matter prescribed by the regulations.

The period for taking action must exceed by a reasonable amount the period for lodging an appeal against the management order, except if the EPA considers that the nature of the harm or possible harm presented by the contamination is so serious that, in the public interest, action during the period for lodging an appeal is necessary.

A management order does not confer power on the person subject to it to enter or do anything on land, for the purposes of giving effect to the management order, without the consent of the occupier of the land.
