Case Study : Israel!
a program for cleaning up contaminated
land,

1) Defining land pollution, and establishing methods and means for cleaning up
contaminated land;
2) A mechanism for delegating responsibility for cleaning up contaminated land;
3) A system for collecting information, identifying and registering polluted sites;
4) A national, multi-year program for cleaning up polluted lands and providing
the financial resources needed to carry out such a program;
5) A distinct legal system in addition to rehabilitation policy and legislation, whose
role is to ensure that preventive action is taken by potential polluters thus
preempting land pollution before it has occurred. This issue is not discussed
here since it was perceived to be a separate topic deserving of independent
study.
