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.

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.
