Phase 2 Site Investigation Management Plan : Hazardous Materials
KEY AND POTENTIAL ISSUES
POTENTIAL CONTAMINANTS OF CONCERN
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
KEY INVESTIGATION CONSIDERATIONS
Soil



Lead based paints
1. NEPM 1999 (soil)
Site specific study before commencing investigation to identify
contaminants of concern.


Contaminants can impact soil quality

Radiological
2. ANZECC 2000 (water)

Select appropriate sampling method based upon contaminant
of concern and likely location and media that has potentially
been impacted.

Contaminant transfer by direct / indirect contact

Biological


Contaminant transfer by ingestion / inhalation

Asbestos
Dutch Intervention or USEPA criteria may be

Groundwater

Contaminants can impact groundwater quality

Contaminant transfer by direct / indirect contact

Contaminant transfer by ingestion / inhalation
Polychlorinated Biphenyls
(PCB)
3. EPA 1994 (hydrocarbons)
used in the absence of any published and
approved Australian guidelines
MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
