Pollution of soil has been known to have
adverse effects on the health of people, surrounding ecosystems and plans for
future use of that particular area. Used in Sydney, environmental legislation
demands that owners and developers test for possible contamination via phase 1
and phase 2 contamination reports prior to development or changes in land use.
A Phase
1 Contamination Report Sydney is a
preliminary assessment of the extent of contamination possible on a particular
piece of land that involves both the office work and ground assessment. It does
not entail any sampling or testing to make a preliminary assessment. A Phase 1
Report will provide information about previous use of a site, analyze available
databases for reported incidents, and determine which locations need additional
characterization.
Phase 1 entails probing and probing in
order to make tests and samples some of which include the soil, water and any
hazardous products on site.

Phase 2 Contamination Report Sydney |
The assessment includes soil sampling to
ascertain the presence of heavy metals, hydrocarbons, and other pollutants
frequently detected in areas affected by oil spills.
This involves testing the quality of
water from boreholes so as to determine the quality of water in the ground.
Waste disposal – sorting the soil and
rubble that has been excavated as per the proper methods of getting rid of it.
From Phase 2 Contamination
Report Sydney, one discovers the level
of contamination and the available ways for cleaning it up in case it is
necessary. This forms a base for developers to have safe site works, site
remedial and getting development approvals.
The contamination reports of phase 1 and
phase 2 are standard processes involved in due diligence for property
transactions in Sydney. They enable buyers, sellers, and developers to screen
and control threats from environments as early as possible. If Sydney will
carry on its developmental expansion around the existing old industrial areas,
then the contamination assessments will gradually increase relevance for ascertaining
that land is safe and suitable for specific uses.
