The National
Contaminated Sites Demonstration Program (NCSDP) provides an
opportunity to demonstrate integrated multidisciplinary solutions
to complex land, groundwater and air contamination problems and
issues across Australia. It also provides an opportunity tor
scientists and consultants to test and validate new and upcoming
site assessment and remediation technologies.
Demonstration projects
within the program are co-sponsored by the Department and Defence
(DoD) and the Australian Institute of Petroleum (AIP). The
projects address the following issues that currently constrain
assessment and remediation of potentially contaminated sites:
-
Monitored natural
attenuation as a risk-based strategy for managing contaminated
sites
-
Source
characterisation, remediation and health investigation levels for
sites contaminated by chlorinated hydrocarbons
-
Impracticability end
points for LNAPL remediation
-
Aqueous film-forming foam – long-term impacts at fire
drill training areas.
