Preliminary Site Investigation at63 North Pde, Mt Druitt <strong>NSW</strong> A. D. Envirotech Australia <strong>Pty</strong> <strong>Ltd</strong>The subject site is currently not safe in regards to the asbestos hazard.Removal of the asbestos cement debris is warranted and should be carried out by anexperienced AD1-B or AD1-F licensed removal contractor.Based on the Phase I Preliminary Site Contamination Investigation (PSI), it is the opinion of A. D.Envirotech Australia <strong>Pty</strong> <strong>Ltd</strong> that there is a low to moderate risk of contamination at the subject site.Once the asbestos removal operations are complete and an asbestos clearance inspection has beenundertaken by an experienced environmental consultant, the site can be deemed suitable <strong>for</strong> theproposed development of a commuter car park.Preliminary In-Situ Waste ClassificationSample 4224-4A yielded concentrations of nickel above the criteria assigned <strong>for</strong> GeneralSolid Waste (CT1). The 95% UCL (normal distribution) of the arithmetic averageconcentration of nickel <strong>for</strong> the subject site is 37.36 mg/kg, which is below the criteriaassigned <strong>for</strong> General Solid Waste (CT1).All remaining samples yielded concentrations below the criteria assigned <strong>for</strong> General SolidWaste (CT1).There<strong>for</strong>e, based on the evidence collected from the in-situ preliminary Waste Classificationthe soil materials on site meet the classification of Restricted Solid Waste, attributed toelevated nickel concentrations above the criteria assigned <strong>for</strong> General Solid Waste (CT1).Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP) analysis of nickel is warranted <strong>for</strong>sample 4224-4A.It needs to be noted that this in-situ preliminary Waste Classification is indicative only. Allsoils leaving site will require classification in accordance with the <strong>NSW</strong> DECCW WasteClassification Guidelines.Based on the above conclusions <strong>for</strong> the proposed development at the subject site, A. D. EnvirotechAustralia <strong>Pty</strong> <strong>Ltd</strong> recommends the following:Asbestos Removal MethodologySince asbestos debris was only observed on top of the concrete surface, an „emu-pick‟removal technique is preferred.oooDelineate and restrict access to the site. If access into the delineated area is gained,appropriate PPE must be worn.Appropriate warning signs should be placed at the affected area. Refer to the NationalOccupational Health and Safety Commission‟s Code of Practice <strong>for</strong> the Managementand Control of Asbestos in Workplaces [NOHSC: 2018(2005)].Asbestos-containing debris should be removed to <strong>NSW</strong> DECCW licensed landfill. Ifasbestos-containing materials are found outside the removal area within siteboundaries, further removal will be required. This process should be repeated untilthe subject area is completely remediated.oAll removal procedures should be conducted by an experienced AD1-B or AD1-Flicensed removal contractor in accordance with the Code of Practice <strong>for</strong> the SafeRemoval of Asbestos [NOHSC: 2002 (2005)].4224 63 North Pde Mt Druitt PSI.v1 final Page 10
