Although the remediation obligation in theory lies with the polluter 3M, it is Lantis who is committed. For example, it will purify pumped-up groundwater before it is discharged into the Scheldt. The most heavily polluted soil will also be removed. 3M will pay for the remediation costs.
“Lantis wants to go for solutions, independent of procedures, in order to achieve results quickly in the remediation, in synergy with the works and in achieving a safer and healthier whole”, according to the company.
