What is a Phase 2 Contamination Report Sydney and Why does it Matter?

Environmental contamination is becoming an issue of increased prominence to both the property owner, developer, and investor in Sydney. Be it to buy, develop, or adapt a given piece of property, you should know about the environmental condition of the site. And this is where Phase 1 Contamination Reports and Phase 2 Contamination Report Sydney come in. 

What is a Phase 1 Contamination Report? 

A Phase 1 Contamination Report Sydney is simply an environmental assessment screening aimed at identifying potential contamination risks that may exist within a site. The report better understands the discussion of historical and current land uses that may lead to contamination. A Phase 1 report contains the following central aspects: 

●      Site inspection that will describe existing conditions

●      Research into historical records on land use, aerial photographs, and planning documents.

●      An evaluation of potential contamination from past actions such as industrial processes or inadequate waste disposal.

●      This report can be holistic and non-intrusive without testing further. It is a necessary first step to determine if further investigation will be required, such as a Phase 2 Contamination Report . 

What is a Phase 2 Contamination Report? 

If the Phase 1 Contamination Report Sydney indicates presence and possible contamination, a Phase 2 Contamination Report Sydney is carried out to confirm and assess the impacts of contamination. It entails detailed sampling and testing, including: 

●      Soil and groundwater sampling to identify contaminants.

●      Laboratory analysis to quantify levels of contamination. 

Risk assessment to determine potential impacts on human health and the environment
