How a targeted investigation, waste classification testing and a pragmatic remediation strategy closed data gaps for asbestos‑contaminated imported fill in north‑west Sydney — turning a NSW EPA Clean‑Up Notice into a compliant, cost‑efficient remediation pathway.
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.
The NSW Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) updated the Contaminated Land Management Compliance Statement in July 2018.
The NSW EPA released new Guidelines on the Duty to Report Contamination in July 2015, replacing the 2009 version.
