A complete guide to Phase 2 Contamination Report Sydney.

A Phase 1 contamination Report Sydney is made to identify the past and present activities on a land which has the ability to cause contamination to the site. This process is also called preliminary site investigation and it is requested by Government authorities for restructuring and redevelopment of the area for property transaction purposes.

Scope of Work 

Phase 1 preliminary investigation is carried out to find the potential causes of contamination and its impact on human health. The activity involves taking photos of the land, analysis of past land documents and taking interviews of past land owners for complete history and assessment of land condition. Additionally, soil or ground water samples are collected and tested to lay down a path for more detailed site investigation.

 Costs 

The cost of Phase 1 site assessment depends on the land location, features and soil complexity. The average cost is around $3000-$6000. For any deal less than $3000, be assured that any strong checks and critical documenting have been ignored.

Sometimes, a phase 1 investigation is unable to reveal the types of contaminants and the duration of contamination.  In such cases Detailed Site Investigation (DSI) or Phase 2 site assessment is carried out through extensive sampling and analysis of contamination sites to prepare and present a more detailed environmental site assessment report. A Conceptual Site Model or CSM is often employed in this stage to provide links between contamination sources and sample analysis techniques.
