8.1 Sources<br />
Proposed Store Development, Wallneuk Road, Paisley - 9692<br />
The key potential ON SITE sources that may be attributable to potentially<br />
deleterious contaminant levels are:<br />
§ Made Ground deposits (often heterogeneous in composition)<br />
§ Historical Iron Foundry and Starch Works<br />
§ Railway sidings and storage sheds<br />
§ Vulcan Engineering works<br />
§ Gas generation and migration within the made ground and underlying<br />
potentially worked coal seams<br />
§ Former areas used as refuse tip(s) northeast of the site<br />
§ Former PFS in northwest (now decommissioned and remediated)<br />
§ Volatilisation and migration of volatile organic compounds from within the<br />
made ground.<br />
A viable pollutant linkage may potentially exist primarily to buildings and<br />
services, construction workers and potential underlying groundwater<br />
resources from exposed soils during the ground preparation and construction<br />
of the proposed development. As such there is the potential of exposure to a<br />
range of contaminants resulting from former iron/steel works industrial<br />
activities and made ground deposits, former warehousing/factories and<br />
demolition arisings of former structures. The PFS in the northwest of the site<br />
has been decommissioned and remediated to facilitate redevelopment.<br />
Made ground refers to any material(s) that are not indigenous to the location.<br />
It often originates in the form of imported fill material for foundation/road and<br />
pavement construction. Within the site boundary pavements foundation<br />
structures and roadways are present. Made ground can potentially include a<br />
range of contaminants:<br />
§ Metals<br />
§ Inorganic compounds (cyanides sulphates)<br />
§ Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) and Polycyclic Aromatic<br />
Hydrocarbon (PAH) derived from fuel compounds and lubricants<br />
§ Asbestos containing materials (ACM)<br />
Contaminants often associated with the identified Iron/steel manufacturing<br />
activities typically include:<br />
§ Coal tars from fuelling furnaces<br />
§ Ammoniacal liquors, spent oxides<br />
§ Metals<br />
§ PCB’s<br />
§ Phenolic compounds<br />
§ Sulphurous materials<br />
§ Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) and:<br />
§ Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH)<br />
