Guidance Notes for Investigation and Remediation of Contaminated Sites of Petrol Filling Stations, Boatyards, and Car Repair/Dismantling Workshops

7. IMPLEMENTATION

Implementation of the Remediation Action Plan can start once the CAR and RAP submissions are approved by the EPD. The essential steps involved in two of the remediation options are illustrated in Figure 7.1 and 7.2. If floating oil is present, it should be removed using recovery trenches or wells before implementing a remediation option (see Table 5.1 and Annex C). Since actual site construction work is usually carried out by experienced contractors, these flow diagrams aim to provide general guidance for the project proponent on the major steps involved. In all cases, contaminated soil that is removed, treated or disposed of must be managed in an environmentally sound manner. This includes compliance with all relevant legislation and Government requirements. Additionally, records such as any required transport records, analytical reports, and soil disposal records should be properly kept. The reader should also refer to Section 8 for the health and safety measures to be adopted during remediation work.

7.1 Soil Venting/Air Sparging

The essential steps involved in the implementation of the soil venting/air sparging option are given in Figure 7.1. A more detailed description of this option is in Annex D.

Note 1: Please refer to Section 4 on the determination of acceptable residual limits.
   
Note 2: A Remediation Report should be prepared and submitted to EPD to demonstrate that the clean-up is adequate. Information such as monitoring results, photographs and certification of independent checker should be included in the report.
