Clear, practical guidance for site owners, developers and environmental managers on recognising a hydrocarbon sheen versus measurable LNAPL in groundwater, when a risk-based duty to notify regulators can be triggered in Australia, and how to manage next steps to reduce transaction, development and compliance risk.
iEnvi completed a Delineation Investigation (DI) at an aerosol and paint manufacturing site in northwest Sydney. The DI installed three groundwater monitoring wells, 13 soil bores and two stormwater points, collecting 8 groundwater, 39 soil and 2 stormwater samples. Findings showed minor soil hydrocarbons (one local exceedance), groundwater elevated dissolved metals likely related to background geochemistry, and isolated vapour-intrusion exceedances — prompting targeted sub‑slab vapour testing and further risk-management recommendations to meet NSW EPA expectations.
iEnvi managed in‑situ abandonment of three underground storage tanks at a restaurant in Hervey Bay, QLD using foam filling to avoid structural impacts. Work complied with AS4976‑2008 and included guidance on validation groundwater monitoring and UPSS completion to progress removal from the QLD Environmental Management Register (EMR).
iEnvi completed an Underground Petroleum Storage System (UPSS) integrity check and Detailed Site Investigation (DSI) at a service station with an attached dwelling in Far North Queensland. Soil sampling adjacent to former tanks, fuel lines and bowsers found evidence consistent with a fuel-line leak; iEnvi provided a staged investigation and cost estimate to support purchase negotiations and subsequent remediation works.
iEnvi completed a confidential PSI and UPSS investigation at a commercial inner-Sydney property to define hydrocarbon impacts to soil, groundwater and soil vapour, and to quantify the likely remediation and compliance implications if the site is converted to residential use.
Baseline environmental investigation for lease renewal of a petrol station in Granville NSW. Two bores and two additional monitoring wells installed, groundwater and soil vapour assessed — low residual risk and no duty to report under NSW CLM Act Section 105.
Low‑flow groundwater monitoring was completed at a decommissioned underground petroleum storage site in Perisher Valley. Results identified no ecological or human‑health groundwater risk; recommendations and compliance notes provided for property transactions in Snowy Mountains National Park.
iEnvi provided a site-specific, commercially focused remediation program for a Western Sydney coatings manufacturer, combining UST removal, source-zone treatment and a four-month Multiphase Vapour Extraction campaign to manage solvent impacts and restore asset value.
Practical, cost‑conscious remediation and long‑term management of petroleum contamination at Council depots using a monitored natural attenuation (MNA)‑led strategy supported by targeted product removal, hydrogeological testing and fate‑and‑transport modelling.
