The preliminary site investigation included a review of the onsite processes, historical use of the site and surroundings, onsite chemical storage and waste generation, storage and disposal. iEnvi were able to identify issues at the site and surroundings that were potential risks to ecological and human health and would require further investigation or management. These potential risks included hazardous materials (automotive parts) stored on hardstand, evident fuels and waste oil staining on hardstand including adjacent to onsite stormwater drainage discharging offsite (via a triple waste interceptor) and historical agricultural chemical and asbestos debris impacted fill material.
iEnvi were able to provide recommendations that were practical to mitigate and manage the identified risks at the site to ensure compliance with relevant legislation and to ensure minimal impact to human health and surrounding ecological receptors. iEnvi also provided additional information on future risks associated with continued operation of the site and assisted the company in understanding the level of environmental risk associated with the refinancing of the site.
