Who gets the bill from the PFAS?

For a month now, construction has also been flat due to stricter rules for soil or dredging containing PFAS. In fact, as of Oct. 1, it is no longer allowed to haul soil or dredge if it contains more than 0.1 micrograms of PFAS per kilogram. The construction industry as a whole is demonstrating and everyone believes that the government must come up with a solution. Until then, there will also have to be a solution to the problems that have already arisen. Because downtime costs money. It costs the client money, the contractor money, but who pays for it?

In this podcast, Koen Roordink (lawyer in construction law), using similar cases in the past and some helpful rules, answers the question: in my project, I am running into costs due to changed regulations, for whose account will they be?
