Highlights
- Former anodising works
- Wide range of liquid and solid wastes including acids
and bases
- Site assessment and preparation of remedial action plan
Background
C. M. Jewell & Associates was commissioned by the
owner of the property to investigate soil contamination
and characterise the chemical residues remaining at the
plant.
Following the investigation, a remediation strategy was
formulated. A selective tendering process is currently under
way.
Hydrogeological Environment
The soils on site are alluvial clays overlying weathered
Triassic shale.
Contaminants
A range of acids, alkalis and some heavy metals were
identified on site.
Objectives and Scope
The investigation of the site commenced with a visual assessment.
A wide range of tanks, drums and sumps, many filled with
unknown liquids and solids, were present, as were residues
on the ground surface. The location of an underground fuel
storage tank was identified.
A sampling program was planned and implemented; this involved
sampling and analysis of soil, a soil vapour survey around
the site of the underground storage tank and identification
of the liquid and solid residues. Remediation goals in keeping
with a future commercial use were developed and a remediation
plan was then drafted.
