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 to
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
Demonstration Programs 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
Characterization and remediation of chlorinated hydrocarbon
contaminated sites;
-
Health investigation
levels for petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated sites;
-
Impracticability End
Points for LNAPL Remediation; and
-
Aqueous film forming
foam- long-term impacts at fire drill training areas.
