Case Study: Environmental Audit

http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png

THIS ARTICLE IS A CASE STUDY OF HISTORICAL PROJECTS HYDROSOLUTIONS HAVE WORKED ON.

Major RESIDENTIAL REDEVELOPMENT, (Quattro), former Queens Park, City of Canning

A former residential estate in Queens Park, Cannington, is being redeveloped for ongoing residential use.  Consultants have been appointed to undertake investigation of impacts arising from the former residential development and it’s subsequent demolition.  A Contaminated Site Audit (CSA) is being undertaken on
behalf of the site owner, to support an application for rezoning at a higher residential density.

The former residences, which incorporated asbestos containing material (ACM) have been demolished.  Site impacts have been identified including organo-chlorine/ phosphate (OCP) herbicides in soils
beneath the former footings, potential metals, hydrocarbons and nutrients in former septic systems, and asbestos in/on soils from the removal of fencing.

The area will developed in four stages:

  • An initial trial area has been remediated and is currently undergoing additional
    validation works.
  • Three further stages are currently being investigated, including soil
    and potential groundwater impacts.

A Site Management Plan (SMP) is in development for the remaining stages.

A voluntary Site Audit Report (SAR) will be prepared for each stage to accompany consultant reports and to provide recommendations for appropriate site classification to the Department of Environmental Regulation (DER).
