## Environmental remediation in Georgian law

Environmental remediation is not a separate procedural code — it is embedded in the principles of the Law on Environmental Protection and in the obligations of persons carrying on activities. This page explains which norms create the legal foundation of remediation, what the law requires during the activity, and what obligations remain at the liquidation of an object.

### What is the main principle of environmental remediation?

The restitution principle: an environment degraded as a result of an activity must be restored to a state as close as possible to its original condition.

### When is financial assurance required?

For activities especially dangerous to the environment, financial assurance of the risk of damage is mandatory; its regime is established by the law on environmental liability.

### What does the law require during the activity?

Fulfilment of ecological safety requirements, consideration of remediation measures and their financial means, operational and systematic accident-prevention measures and a liquidation service.

### What obligation remains at liquidation?

Upon partial or complete liquidation of an economic object, the requirements provided by law must be observed — leaving the territory without remediation is impermissible.
