Might be best to inform them. Also bear in mind that you have to excavate 2 meters below and to the side of the area to eliminate the spread of it once excavated and obviosly not use that soil again.
We had it once on a job in Swindon and it is a biatch to get rid of permanently. It actually goes through concrete too.
Have fun.
If you have any other questions please ask, I will try and help.

Are you actually building something? If so you will have to employ a proper waste disposal company. If not, then I doubt the council will be interested as they would have to pay for any work.
If the plant is approaching your building then it may pay to have it destroyed as it can be very destructive, lifting and breaking concrete slabs.
