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.
