Finding out whether the land is safe for development or use
is important. This is why Preliminary Site Investigation NSW (PSI) and Detailed
Site Investigation NSW (DSI) are vital steps. Before beginning any
construction, buying land, or even redeveloping a piece of property, these
investigations will see that the environment is within compliance and is safe
and suitable for use.
Preliminary Site Investigation (PSI)
The Preliminary Site
Investigation NSW is the first step in taking into account a site's
environmental history and conditions. These include:
●
Historical
Research: Checking on the former use of the land to consider possible
contaminants.
●
Site
Inspection: Visual inspection for surface problems or indications of
contamination.
●
Stakeholder
Consultation: Findings from interested parties about land history and possible
risks.
●
This
stage shows if further research is required. If previous actions suggest there
is contamination, then a DSI must be carried out.
DSI
A detailed site investigation gives an extension of PSI.
This includes the following aspects
●
Sample
Collection : Sample collection of water and soil samples for laboratory tests
to find out if the contaminants exist.
●
Risk
Analysis: Determines the threat that the contaminants could pose to human
health and environment.
●
Recommendations
for Remediation-Actionable steps to rectify contamination issues
●
The
DSI is essential for projects that will be sited in sensitive environments, or
that are on a site that was originally used industrially, ensuring that land is
brought to NSW environmental standards.
