EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

GeoPollution Management Pty Ltd have completed a detailed soil contamination survey of the property located at Lot 1, 323 - 325 Yan Yean Road, Yarrambat, (the site), with the aim to provide a comprehensive assessment report for Audit review, in consideration of a request for a Certificate of Environmental Audit.

In this final site assessment report the methods used are described, results summarised and the environmental quality of the site prior to its proposed residential subdivision and development is evaluated.

The site is rectangular in shape and covers an area of 5.538 hectares. At the time of this investigation, the site comprised woodland, pasture land, a former mining area and a small residential area. The residential area, located in the eastern corner of the site, is occupied by a single dwelling, and includes a shed, a lawn area, a storage area and a car port. The former mining area which spans the western portion of the site, is occupied by mullock heaps, infilled shafts and prospecting pits, and stockpiles of fill. This area is the inferred former location of Grey’s Reef gold mine.

A total of forty-eight (48) routine soil samples were collected from twenty-four (24) grid locations across the site. Sampling depth intervals covered natural soil at nominal intervals and surface fill at two locations. Natural soil samples were collected at all locations.

In addition, forty-three (43) routine soil samples were collected from twenty-five (25) target locations. Sampling depth intervals covered fill at nominal intervals and natural soil at one location.

Selected samples of surface natural soil and surface fill material were combined at the laboratory into eight 3-part composites. The composites were analysed for a range of potential contaminants including eight selected heavy metals, organochlorine pesticides and pH.

Two hrther three-part composite samples were combined at the laboratory from the samples representing the surface layer of natural soil. The composites were analysed for a range of potential contaminants including six selected heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, organo-phosphorus pesticides polychlorinated biphenyls, phenolic compounds and cyanide.

One of the natural surface soil samples was analysed individually for eight selected heavy metals.

Two surface natural soil samples were analysed for total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), and the mono-aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene, toluene, ethyl-benzene and xylene (BTEX).

Two surface fill samples were analysed individually for TPH and lead. One of these samples was also analysed for BTEX. One deeper fill sample was analysed individually for TPH, BTEX and Lead.

10 of 235vii EA I079\Trcloar\Yarrambat\aud (,n GeoPollution Manageme

One surface fill sample and one deeper fill sample were analysed individually for the EPA screen except TPH and volatiles, i.e. heavy metals (As, Bay Be, Cd, CoyCr, Cu, Hg, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, Sn, Zn) PAH, OC Pesticides, PCB, Phenolics and Cyanide.

A further twenty-four surface fill samples were analysed individually for arsenic, ten of which were also analysed for mercury. Fourteen deeper fill (target) samples were analysed individually for arsenic, four of which were also analysed for mercury.

Based on elevated metal concentrations, one composite sample was subsequently analysed individually for zinc and three fill samples were subsequently analysed for total concentration and leachability of arsenic, cadmium, lead and zinc.

ANZECC B/DUTCH B limits and ANZECC Health Investigation Limits (ANZECC & NHMRC, 1992) were adopted for evaluation of analysis results. Results were also compared with EPAV Fill and EPAV Low Level Fill Material Limits (EPA Bulletin 448, “Classification of Wastes”, 1995) for consideration with regards to any off-site disposal of any soil which may be excavated during the site preparation works for the proposed residential development. For final data evaluation, concentrations are also compared with health risk-based investigation levels for “Standard Residential Settings” (exposure scenarios), ie. NEHF Level “A” criteria (Imray and Langley 1996).

For quality control purposes, eight sets of field duplicate soil samples were collected, including four split duplicates sent to a second laboratory, and four blind duplicates sent to the primary laboratory. One blind and one split duplicate samples were analysed individually for 8 heavy metals. The remaining samples were analysed for arsenic only. As a result of elevated “Relative Percent Difference (RPD)” primarily associated with arsenic, follow up work was undertaken which included inter-laboratory sample exchange and an examination of laboratory techniques.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

Site History

The site history search revealed that during the nineteenth century and in the early years oj the twentieth century Grey’s Reef Gold Mine operated in the west of the site. By 1901 a battery plant was also present. The battery plant was used for crushing quartz rock ore Historical evidence suggests that on site treatment of ore (gold processing) may also have occurred. This process involved the release of toxic elements such as mercury, cyanide and zinc from the processing materials, and arsenic from the ore itself.

Fill material, associated with the former gold mine, was found in the west of the site, tC depths of 0.15 to 1.O metres (confirmed depths only). The ground beneath the residence are2 had also been infilled to depths of 0.2 to 0.25 metres. The fill material is heterogeneous anc contains a mixture of silt, clay and/or gravel at all test locations. Refusal on coarse materia in the filVsiltstone bedrock occurred at two of the forty-nine test points.

0 No asbestos, either in the form of sheet fragments or lagging, was observed on the site surface or within fill material.

Soil Analysis Results

The 95% UCL of the arithmetic mean of most analytes detected in natural soil and fill samples from across the site are below the ANZECC B guideline criteria except for arsenic and zinc. Peak concentrations are above the ANZECC B guideline and EPA Fill Limit for the heavy metals arsenic, cadmium, lead, and zinc, and for TPH’s in the range C~Oto C~O. Peak concentrations of arsenic and zinc exceed the EPA Low Level Contaminated Fill Limit. The peak concentrations of arsenic, lead and zinc are also above the NEHF (HIL) Level A for residential exposure settings. The identified contamination is generally associated with fill material.

While peak concentrations of arsenic, cadmium, lead and zinc exceeded the ANZECC B guideline limit, elutriation testing showed that elevated metals have negligible leachability.

Concentrations of heavy metals (apart from arsenic in composite samples), OC and OP Pesticides, PAH, TPH, MAH, PCB and Cyanide in samples of natural soil underlying fill were below ANZECC B criteria or not detectable and therefore are considered to represent natural background levels.

Heavy metals (apart from arsenic and zinc), OC and OP Pesticides, PCB, Phenolic compounds and cyanide in composite samples and heavy metals (apart from arsenic, cadmium, lead, zinc and TPH), OC Pesticides, PCB, Phenolic compounds, cyanide and MAH in individual samples were all reported below laboratory detection limits or well below assessment criteria.

QNQC duplicates showed some RPD’s above acceptable criteria, specifically for arsenic and to a lesser extent, chromium. Overall completeness of the QNQC data is 65%, short of the target value of 95%. Elevated relative percentage difference results are attributed to heterogeneous distributions, apparently associated with particle size, of these heavy metals in the source material and to differences in the laboratories’ sample preparation and extraction techniques. It is considered that a correction factor(s) would need to be applied to the main laboratory’s entire data set, but for arsenic in particular, as the reported concentrations appear to be under-representations of actual concentrations.

pH values in two natural soil composite samples are acidic (5.1) and outside the naturally occurring range, providing evidence of possible infiltration of process liquids from past gold mininglprocessing activities.

Apart from two isolated hotspot areas of arsenic and zinc contamination, fill material would be classified as “Low-Level Contaminated Waste” (a type of Prescribed Waste, Victorian Government, 1998) for the purpose of off-site disposal.

Groundwater Assessment

A groundwater data base search and qualitative assessment of potential impact on beneficial uses has shown the following.

Data from a total of four registered wells (all uses), located within a 4 km radius of the site were available from the Victorian Groundwater Data Base. The regional watertable in the vicinity of the subject site is likely to occur at least 5 to 10 metres below the surface.

The direction of groundwater flow beneath the site is considered likely to be south westerly (towards Plenty River).

Groundwater TDS data indicates that existing and potential beneficial uses of groundwater on- and off-site are the maintenance of ecosystems, potable water supply, agriculture, parks and gardens, stock watering, primary contact recreation, and protection of buildings and structures.

CONCLUSIONS

In summary, the soil data obtained during this comprehensive site assessment suggest that fill material is heterogeneous and contains arsenic above ANZECC B guideline, EPAV Low level Fill and Health Based Soil Investigation limits. Hotspot areas of cadmium, lead, zinc and TPH contamination above the ANZECC B guideline, EPAV Fill andor Health based Soil Investigation Limits, and of zinc contamination above the EPA Low-Level Contaminated Fill limit were also identified.

Hot spot areas of cadmium, lead, zinc and TPH contamination above the ANZECC B guideline some above the EPAV Fill and Health based Soil Investigation Limits and of zinc contaminatior above the EPA Low-Level Contaminated Waste limit were also identified, in particular affecting fill in a dry creek bed at the southern end of the former mining area.

In the absence of any history of underground fuel storage at the site and any significant mobild contamination by heavy metals or other soil contaminants at the site, and given the depth tc groundwater and the likely low permeability of the natural soils and bedrock beneath the fill, it ir considered that any adverse impact on beneficial uses of groundwater on- and off-site as a resul of soil contamination at the site is unlikely.

RECOMMENDA TlONS

The results obtained in this comprehensive assessment imply that, unless clean up is undertake] . to bring the entire site in compliance with ANZECC B guideline levels, the site is not considerec eligible for a Certificate of Environmental Audit but will receive a conditional Statement.

In consideration of the above, we recommend the following:

1) Removal of dumped debris, and of contaminated fill within the dry creek bed; mullock heap in the former mine area remain.

13 of 235 EA I079\Treloar\Yarrambat\aud &mGeoPollution Management 3

A conditional Statement of Environmental Audit would be issued which would state that part of the site is contaminated with arsenic of natural origin and therefore is not suitable for any or all beneficial uses but would be suitable for sensitive uses in particular residential use subject to management and containment of waste.

2) Removal of all contaminated soil including the mullock heaps and importation of clean soil to provide a cover for the former mine workings of at least 300 mm. The removal would require appropriate validation in accordance with EPA guidelines.

A conditional Statement of Environmental Audit would be issued with conditions applicable to a smaller area.

As individual analytes (cadmium, lead and TPH, arsenic and zinc) in isolated pockets on the site, as identified during this assessment, are above the EPAV Fill Material and/or EPAV Low Level Contaminated Fill limits respectively, the results indicate that fill on the site should be classified as potentially contaminated waste according to EPA Bulletin 448 (1 995) for the purpose of off- site disposal.

Fill will be subject to EPA regulations and requirements and would be classified as per Prescribed Waste Regulations 1998 (refer also to EPA Information Bulletin 626, 1998 and EPA Information Bulletin 395a, 1999) as Prescribed Waste (low- or high-level contaminated). All site fill should be treated as potentially contaminated material, unless analysis of any discrete volumes of fill (at representative frequency) excavated from the site and designated for off-site disposal, indicated otherwise.

I. BACKGROUND

1.1. INTRODUCTION

GeoPollution Management Pty Ltd was engaged by Mr & Mrs J.K. & E. Treloar to carry out a comprehensive environmental assessment of the land located at Lot 1, 323 - 325 Yan Yean Road, Yarrambat, Victoria (“the site”).

The assessment report was prepared in conformance with EPA guidelines for the review of an EPA Auditor following a request for a Certificate of Environmental Audit for the site. The audit was required to satisfy a condition of the Council’s (Nillumbik Shire) planning permit for the residential re-development of the site. This requirement arose as a result of a Ministerial Directive relating to potentially contaminated sites (Ministerial Directive No. 1 under the Planning and Environment Act 1987 as amended in May 1992).

This investigation has been completed in accordance with GeoPollution Management proposal No. QM 1079 dated 23rdDecember 1999 with subsequent variations as appropriate. The work was authorised by the client’s written agreement dated 4thJanuary 2000.

The investigation program outlined in this report has been carried out in compliance with the Australian Standard AS 4482. I - 1997 - Guide to the sampling and investigation of potentially contaminated soil (1997). EPA and other relevant guideline criteria for the assessment of potential contamination are considered where appropriate.

1.1.1 Objectives

This site assessment program was designed to satisfy the criteria for an environmental audit with the following objectives:

Determine the degree and extent of potential contaminants in near-surface and deeper soils; Determine whether potential contaminants are present at concentrations that would pose an environmental or health risk; Assess potential groundwater impacts in the context of beneficial groundwater uses; Evaluate the final environmental quality of the site prior to re-zoning to low density residential use; To present an assessment report in conformance with EPA guidelines for the purpose of obtaining a Certificate (or Statement) of Environmental Audit.

The final site assessment report presents:

a description of the site and other relevant background information a summary of the historical site use methods used the geological and hydrogeological context a summary of all field and laboratory results and evaluation of analysis results according to current soil quality guideline limits an assessment of potential impact of the site on beneficial uses of groundwater quality control data and evaluation conclusions and recommendations.

1.1.2 Scope of the Investigation

The scope of work for this investigation was detailed in the “Sampling and Analysis Program - Final Revision” (19* January 2000), attached as Appendix D to this document. The sampling and analysis program was endorsed by Mr Jonathan Crockett, the EPA Environmental Auditor (Contaminated Land) appointed for this project.

The program included assessment of shallow soils at regularly spaced grid locations across the site, as well as from target locations addressing specific site features from past mining activities.

Soil samples were initially collected from twenty-four grid locations, less than the minimum number of sampling points for the assessment of a site of this size as specified in AS 4482.1- 1997. The lesser number of sampling points was agreed with the Auditor. This number was acceptable, as data from a previous site assessment were taken into account and the majority of the site was known to be uniform and unaffected by mining activities.

Drilling, inspection and sampling of soil profiles extended through fill material and into natural soil.

A physical groundwater investigation was not required at this site, however, a survey of the Victorian Groundwater Data Base and an assessment of the potential impact of the site on the beneficial uses of groundwater have been carried out.

1.1.3 Soil Assessment Criteria

The decision as to whether a site is suitable for the land use proposed or whether site clean up is required, and if so to what extent, is subject to a site-specific analysis of the collected data with respect to adopted acceptance criteria, which in the case of Environmentai Audits are set by and agreed upon with the EPA approved Auditor.

2 16 of 235 EA I079\Trcloar\Yarrambat\aud &mGeoPollution Management

Criteria for the assessment of potentially contaminated sites presently adopted by the EPA are essentially guideline limits for defining the extent of effort needed to investigate a site. These are adopted from ANZECC & NHMRC Guidelines (1 992). DUTCH B levels (internationally recognised levels developed by the Dutch Government) or National Environmental Health

Forum Level “A” guidelines (Imray & Langley 1996) are adopted in the absence of ANZECC criteria. Table 1 does not list the complete set of NEHF levels defined.

Where soil quality acceptance criteria are exceeded, the decision as to the need for site clean up is based on a site-specific risk assessment (human health and environmental risk), with consideration of factors such as the type of future land use, exposure pathways, surface coverage, local geology, and potential off-site effects.

EPA ‘Fill Classification Criteria’ (EPA Bulletin 448 “Classification of Wastes’) are referred to where off-site disposal of soil is discussed.

In order to assess the need for further investigation based on composite sample results, modified criteria were generated by dividing criteria for individual samples by the number of individual samples comprising the composites, thereby allowing for sample dilution.

Volatile organic compounds are determined in this investigation both as total ionisable organic compounds (benzene equivalents) by a field vapour screen (a rapid indicator of the relative concentrations of fuel vapours in soil pores; refer to Section I1 4.4) and by laboratory analysis.

A field headspace vapour concentration of more than 10 ppm is considered to indicate potential soil contamination, a concentration of 100 ppm+ is considered to represent a potential vapour hazard.

The criteria used for data evaluation in this investigation are shown in the table below (TABLE 1, over page).

The site is located in a ruralhesidential area and lies within an area of gently undulating topography, locally modified by cut and fill landscaping. The site itself is situated on an undulating south sloping hillside and spans a dominant ridge that forms the northem boundary. The surface of the site generally slopes towards the south, with a gradient ranging between 1" and 5". The slope angle is greatest in the central portion of the site (Plate 2). In the eastern portion of the site, the gradient is approximately 4 - 5" and has an easterly component. The site ranges in elevation from approximately 148 metres to 170 metres above Australian height datum (AHD).

The site comprises woodland, pasture land and a residential area divided from the remainder of the site by a fence and farm gate (Figure 1). The residence is located in the eastern portion of the site and is accessed via a gravel driveway that extends to the front (north eastern) site boundary. A shed and carport are located to the southkouthwest of the house. On the western side of the shed and carport (southwestern side of the house) is a small unused above- ground tank (Plate 1). The site surface surrounding the house consists of either grass or gravel. A number of disused cars were located on a gravelkoil surface on the western side of the house at the time of the field work for this assessment.

The northern and western parts of the site, generally have the most tree coverage. In particular, the western portion (rear) of the property surrounding the inferred former Grey's Reef mining area (refer to Figure 1 & 2) is covered by native woodland. Numerous mullock heaps (mine waste) and stockpiles of fill are located in this area. This area also contains existing mine shafts and prospecting pits (which have at some point in time been infilled with assorted rubbish; see Plate 4). A dry creek bed (southern portion) has been filled with soil and debris. The majority of the rubbish (with the exception of material in the mine shafts) had been removed from the site some weeks prior to this investigation, however. pieces of metal, wood, bricks and debris were still evident at the surface (Plate 3). A former vehicle dump area at the northern end of the dry creek had been filled and levelled with soil from the surrounds in the course of the clean up.

Extent of Filling

Mullock heaps (mine waste), stockpiles of fill and a number of infilled prospecting pits and possible mine shafts are located in the western portion of the site. A dry creek in the south of this area has also been infilled and a small gully in the north of the mine area was vegetated with blackberries at the time of the investigation. The ground beneath the residence area in the east of the site has also been infilled and levelled.

1.2.3 Zoning and Proposed Development

The zoning of the site at the time of report finalisation was referred to as “Plenty Low Density

Residential ” under the Nillumbik Planning Scheme. The proposed zoning is “Low Density Residential”. Under the proposed zoning, the site will be subject to three overlays:

1) An Environmental Audit Overlay 2) A Development Plan Overlay 3) An Environmental Significance Overlay

The zoning information was not confirmed with the Department of Infrastructure’s Land Titles office.

It is understood that the owners intend to sell the site for possible subdivision and further residential development. Details of the proposed development were not available at the time of preparation of this report.

1.2.4 Previous Site Assessment Reports

1.2.4.1 Work conducted by SKM A comprehensive review of the mining history of the area was conducted by Sinclair Knight Merz (SKM) in 1998. The work was summarised in the following report:

Sinclair Knight Merz (1998): ‘Site History and Contamination Assessment from Goldmining and other Land Uses in the Plenty River Corridor”. Rej1MEl30l:Report.doc

The findings relevant to the subject site are summarised in the context of the site history review in Section 1.3 below.

1.2.4.2 Work conducted by Golder Associates A preliminary contamination assessment was carried out by Golder Associates in 1999 as documented in the following report.

Golder Associates Pty Ltd (I 999): ‘Preliminary Contamination Assessment of Selected

Properties within the Nillumbik Shire Council Environmental , Audit Overlay, PlentylYarrambat, Victoria. REF: 9961 3533/024

Samples were collected from twenty one locations comprising fifteen grid locations and six further locations targeting areas occupied by stockpiles and mounds. A total of twenty-seven soil samples were collected. Twenty one surface (0 - 0.1 metres) samples were collected and six deeper samples were collected from a depth of 0.4 to 0.5 metres at the targeted locations. Samples were initially submitted to the laboratory as individual samples and as two- and three- part composites. The samples were analysed for heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, mercury, nickel, lead and zinc) and cyanide.

The analytical results were compared with the modified ANZECCDutch level B Criteria and the modified NEHF Health based Investigation levels A (HIL, for residential exposure settings).

Arsenic was found to exceed the modified ANZECC level B in nine composite samples and to exceed the modified NEHF HIL Level A (Residential) in four composite samples. Chromium, copper, mercury, nickel and zinc also exceeded the modified ANZECC level B in some composite samples. The areas of elevated concentrations of arsenic generally coincided with fill mounds.

Selected composite samples which exceeded the assessment criteria were subsequently analysed as individual samples.

Arsenic was found to exceed the modified ANZECC level B in ten individual samples and to exceed the modified NEHF HIL Level A (Residential) in six individual samples collected from three locations. These exceedences were recorded within fill material in the west of the site within the inferred former Greys Reef Mine area.

Only one further exceedence of the modified ANZECC level B for copper was observed but this was considered to be marginal and insignificant.

1.3 SITE HISTORY AND POTENTIAL FOR CONTAMINATION

Information pertaining to site history, past land uses and operations was obtained from the following sources:

Sinclair Knight Merz (November 1998): ‘Site History and Contamination Assessment from Goldmining and other land uses in the Plenty River Corridor”. Golder Associates Pty Ltd (August 1999): ‘Preliminary Contamination Assessment of Selected Properties within the Nillumbik Shire Council Environmental Audit Overlay, Plenty/Yarrambat, Victoria. Nillumbik Council, Planning Department, Office of the Surveyor General (Aerial Photography), The site owners.

The information collated is summarised below.

23 of 235 9 EA I079\Treloar\Yanambat\aud 4 GeoPollution Management

During the nineteenth century and in the early years of the present century, Grey’s Reef Mine operated in the west part of the site. By 1901, a battery plant was also present. The battery plant was used for crushing quartz rock ore. Historical evidence suggests that on site treatment of ore (gold processing) may have occurred.

Gold processing required the amalgamation of crushed ore with mercury and/or solution in sodium or potassium cyanide, followed by precipitation in zinc. There is no evidence of cyanide use in the Yarrambat area. It was common during gold processing for toxic elements to be released, including arsenic from within the ore itself.

The South Golden Stairs Mine was formerly located to the east of the site beyond Yan Yean Road. The mine operated in conjunction with the Golden Stairs Mine to the north during the late nineteenth century through to the depression years. A battery plant and tailings area located on the Golden Stairs Mine also served the Grey’s Reef Mine.

Mining operations are reported to have ceased in 1938. Since that date the site was occupied by Mr & Mrs J.K. and E Treloar who have been farming the property, growing corn and green feeds for chickens and grazing horses.

Ownership information for the property attached to the parent Title Certificate (see above Section 1.2.1) indicates that ownership of the property was transferred to John Keith Treloar in 1958, who remains the owner to the present day (refer to Appendix B):

Aerial photographs of the site and environs show the following (copies of photographs are attached as part of Appendix G):

1945: The site is largely covered with trees apart from a cleared pasture area in the west. Two dirt tracks aligned approximately northeast-southwest across the site provide access to the western half of the site fiom Yan Yean Road. The soils in the inferred former Greys Reef area appear paler and the vegetation more luxuriant than the remainder of the site. 1956: The site remains largely unchanged. The dirt tracks are no longer present. The inferred Grey’s Reef Mine area is more clearly defined by a transverse band of trees, while some clearly has taken place immediately to the east. A cleared pasture area is located to the west of the former mining area. 1975: A house is located in the eastern corner of the site. The inferred Grey’s Reef iMine area remains densely wooded. The pasture area in the west of the site also remains.

The dry creek and surrounds at the southern end of the mining area had been used as a vehicle dump in the past but some surface clean up had been undertaken prior to the current investigation.

Pofenfial Sources of Contamination

Part of the property has been used in the past for gold mining and processing, therefore, it is considered that potential significant contamination may have arisen as a result of these activities.

No evidence of underground tanks or oil pits was identified. A small above ground tank was present near the residence. However, the owner indicated that the tank was bought some time ago and has never been used on site.

Soil contamination may also be associated with fill material that has been imported onto the site in the residential area in the south east of the site. There is also some potential for infiltration of minor quantities of petrol or oil from dumped cars, motors or engine parts in the area of the dry creek bed and in the surrounds of the residence.

II. SOIL INVESTIGATION

11.1 FIELD METHODS

Technical and scientific staff from our Ringwood office carried out fieldwork for this project on 241h and 271hJanuary 2000.

An Environmental Scientist from GeoPollution Management was responsible for soil profile logging, on-site testing and collection of soil samples and quality assurance procedures.

11.1.1 Drilling of Boreholes and Soil Sampling

Boreholes at grid and target locations were advanced using a 95mm stainless steel hand auger to depths between 0.5 and 1.O metre.

At the grid locations, augering advanced through fill material where present, into the natural clayhilt soils, and at least loom into the weathered bedrock at most locations. Refusal on bedrock occurred at one of the test points.

At the target locations, augering generally advanced through fill material. Augering advanced at least 300mm into the natural clay/silt soils at two locations and lOOmm into the weathered bedrock at one location. Refusal on weathered rock occurred at three test points.

Samples were retrieved from at least one depth interval per location, based on observed depth of natural soil/fill material. Sample frequency was generally two per borehole. Where the thickness of the fill layer exceeded 0.5m, further samples of fill material were collected at a rate of approximately one per 0.5 metres to a maximum depth of 1.O metre.

Maximum drilling depths at individual test points across the site were between 0.4 and 1.0 metres. Excess spoil was backfilled to surface levels prior to bore abandonment.

Soil samples were collected directly from the hand auger following removal of any cross- contaminated portions (outermost portions of the auger cuttings). Samples were collected in a tray before transferring them into acid washed sample jars.

All samples were collected as 'zero-headspace' samples ('jar' samples), i.e. the glass jars were filled to hll capacity leaving no air gaps. Subsequently, they were tightly sealed with a teflon-lined plastic screw cap. These precautions serve to minimise oxidation of chemicals and loss of volatile compounds between sample collection and laboratory analysis.

Vial samples, collected from all locations across the site, were filled to half capacity, leaving a headspace above the sample. The vials were rapidly crimp-sealed with a teflon-lined aluminium lid.

Field duplicate, equipment blanks and trip blank samples were collected throughout the investigation in accordance with requirements for Quality Control specified by the Environmental Auditor.

A field contamination assessment including routine on-site vapour detection (PID, see section 11.1.2) was carried out concurrently with all soil sampling.

11.1.2 Field Screen for Volatile Organic Compounds (Soil Gas Survey)

A vapour screen was routinely conducted at each grid soil sampling location by inserting the probe into the open bore space immediately after exposure. This method provides a gross assessment of the presence of volatile organic compounds within the entire vertical extent of sub-surface material intersected at any given time.

The instrument used for the field screen is a portable Photo-ionisation Detector (PID, Photovac, model Microtip IS-3000) which registers total ionisable organic compounds rather than individual compounds. Prior to commencement of fieldwork, the instrument was calibrated using a gas of 105 ppm isobutylene in ultrahigh purity air contained in a plastic sample bag.

Readings represent the total concentration of all photoionisable organic compounds in the sample (in parts per million) and results represent relative concentrations. A background reading was taken each time before testing.

When calibrated with isobutylene span gas, the instrument response is accurate within +/- 2 ppm or +/- 10% (whichever is greater) for 0 to 100 ppm, within +/- 10% for 100 to 1000 pprn and within +/- 15% for 1000 to 2000 ppm.

Plastic bag samples were collected from discrete depth intervals, and PID “headspace” readings were recorded both as a routine check of low borespace measurements and if concentrations of volatiles were detected in excess of 10 ppm during borespace testing.

Note the following in relation to the PID readings documented on bore logs:

a Actual vapour concentrations in in-situ soils show gradual transitions. a Soil gas survey data represent relative levels of VOC’s in soil samples, not absolute concentrations in soil samples. a Bore space readings reflect total concentrations of vapours within the entire open borespace without indicating from which soil layer the vapours originate.

11.2 QUALITY ASSURANCEIQUALITY CONTROL

11.2.1 Field Sampling

All sampling equipment including augers that had come into contact with fill or soil were decontaminated between boreholes in accordance with the work procedures adopted by GeoPollution Management Pty Ltd as part of their internal quality assurance protocol.

Hand sampling equipment was cleaned according to the following procedure before collection of each sample:

1) Brush in water containing DECON 90 (phosphate-free detergent) 2) Rinse twice in ample tap water 3) Rinse once with distilled water 4) Dry with disposable paper towel.

Water was brought on site in containers.

11.2.2 Laboratories

Internal laboratory quality control testing was requested as follows:

Duplicates - 10% of all samples analysed or a minimum of 1 Blanks - 1 per batch of samples analysed Spikes (Recoveries) - Duplicates with known spikes. For metals: Spike added to acid ...digest. For organics: Spike added to soil prior to extraction. Standards - Instrument calibration standards as required by NATA.

QNQC methods were employed to ensure that the data, as far as possible, were accurate, precise (reproducible and repeatable) and representative.

Field replicate samples were submitted for analysis (at a rate of 20 % of total sample analyses) for the purpose of external quality assurance checks. This included split duplicates sent to a second laboratory and blind duplicates for analysis by the primary laboratory. Blind duplicates sent to the primary laboratory were given different identification numbers to conceal their identity.

All iield replicate samples were aliquots of randomly sub-sampled bulk samples taken from the auger cuttings.

11.2.4 Sample Documentation and Dispatch

Sample numbering for this sampling program was according to a defined format. Each sample was given a prefix ‘G’X” or ‘T’X”, where G stands for grid, T stands for target and X is the number assigned to the location from which the sample was collected, as per example below:

G1-240 1- 1 (ie. Sample from grid location 1, collected on 24‘h January, Sample No. 1).

Following sample collection and during transport to our Ringwood office, samples were stored on ice. Samples were refrigerated at 4’ C until dispatch on the day following completion of field work. Sample dispatch followed chain of custody procedures. Samples were courier-despatched to the primary and secondary laboratories on the day following the field work.

Routine chemical analysis was carried out by the NATA accredited analytical laboratory of Gribbles Analytical Laboratories, Notting Hill, used as the main or primary laboratory (routine samples). QNQC duplicate samples were submitted to the NATA laboratory of MGT Environmental Consulting Pty Ltd, Oakleigh, as the secondary laboratory with the respective chain of custody form attached as part of Appendix F. Internal QNQC procedures were followed by both subcontracting laboratories (refer to Section 11.6 below).

Sample details, any special sample preparation methods required and analytical parameters were entered on Chain of Custody Forms (see Appendix F). These forms double as ‘Sample Analysis Request Forms’. All sample labels were cross-checked with the records kept and all required details were entered on the dispatch forms. A copy of all the forms sent out with samples was retained in the job file.

The analytical laboratories were requested to cross-check the samples upon receipt against the Analysis Request Forms, and to sign the forms and return them by FAX to the GPM office.

11.3 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS SCHEDULES

Site assessment included sampling of soil taken from grid locations across the site and from target locations T1 and T4 on 24‘hJanuary 2000. Sampling of the remaining target locations was carried out on 27‘h January 2000.

The sampling and analysis program was outlined in a “Final Sampling and Analysis Program” (Work Plan) endorsed by the Auditor prior to conducting site work. A copy of the final work plan (GeoPollution Management, 19‘h January 2000) is attached as Appendix D.

Initially, a total of forty eight (48) routine soil samples were collected from twenty four (24) grid locations across the site. Sampling depth intervals covered surface fill where present, and natural soil at the following nominal intervals (variations subject to actual soil profiles encountered).

1: 0.0 - 0.1 m - Natural Soil/Fill 2: 0.3 - 0.5m - where Natural SoilFill thickness was 0.5 m or more or first 200 mm of weathered rock.

A further forty five (45) routine soil samples were collected from twenty five (25) target locations across the site. This included three locations which coincided with arsenic contamination previously identified by Golder Associates (I 999). Sampling depth intervals covered surface fill at the following nominal intervals (variations subject to actual soil profiles encountered).

1: 0.0-O.lm -FILL 2: 0.3 - 0.5m - where Fill thickness was 0.5 m or first 200 mm of natural soil (T2 only).

At locations where depth of fill material exceeded 0.5 myfurther samples of fill were collected, if possible, at a rate of approximately one sample per 0.5m depth. Natural soil below the fill was sampled at one location only during initial sampling.

Copies of the combined chain of custody and analysis request forms are attached to this report as Appendix F.

11.3.1 Initial Analysis

The number of chemical analyses initially undertaken and the range of chemical parameters selected are summarised below (TABLE 3a, over page).

Twenty one (21) samples from the surface layer of natural soils were combined at the laboratory into seven 3-part composites. A further three part composite sample from the surface layer in the residential area (comprising two fill samples and one natural soil sample) was also combined at the laboratory. The composite samples were analysed for a range of potential contaminants including eight selected heavy metals (As, Cd, CryCu, Pb, Sn, Zn and Hg) and organochlorine pesticides. Two samples were also analysed for pH value (Soil reaction).

Two further three part composite samples from the surface layer of natural soil were analysed for six selected heavy metals (Be, CoyMo, Sn, Se, Sn), PAH, OC Pesticides, PCB, Phenolics and Cyanide.

Three natural soil samples were analysed individually for eight selected heavy metals (As, Cd, Cry Cu, Pb, Hg, Ni and Zn). Two natural (near-surface) soil samples were analysed individually for TPH’s and BTEX.

Two surface fill samples from the former vehicle dump area were analysed individually for TPH’s and lead. One of these samples was also analysed for BTEX. One deeper fill sample was analysed individually for TPH’s, BTEX and Lead.

One surface fill sample and one deeper fill sample were analysed individually for the EPA screen (except TPH’s and volatile compounds) including heavy metals (As, Bay Be, Cd, Coy CryCu, Hg, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, Sn, Zn), PAH’s, OC Pesticides, PCB, Phenolics and Cyanide.

A further twenty four surface fill samples were analysed individually for arsenic, ten of which were also analysed for mercury. Fourteen deeper fill (target) samples were analysed individually for arsenic, four of which were also analysed for mercury.

For quality control purposes, six sets of split duplicates samples and six sets of blind duplicates were collected in the field. The blind duplicates were sent to the primary laboratory, while the split duplicates were also sent to a secondary laboratory. Three of each of the six sets were combined at the laboratories into composite samples. This resulted in a total of four sets of blind duplicates and four sets of split duplicates, each comprised of one composite and three individual samples. Each composite sample was analysed for eight selected heavy metals. The remaining samples were analysed individually for arsenic. In addition one set each of blind and split duplicates was also analysed individually for mercury (refer to Section 11.6).

11.4 SOIL PROFILES

11.4.1 Regional Geology

The site is identified on the Geological Survey of Victoria YAN YEAN Sheet (1 :63,360, Part 7922 Zone 55) as being located within the province of Silurian age “Anderson Creek Formation”, consisting of massive siltstones with localised groups of massive laminated and bedded greywacke (central and western portion), and Silurian ‘Dargile Formation’ consisting of laminated and current bedded sandstones with interbedded siltstone and shale.

Localised outcrops of Tertiary age “Older Volcanics Basalt” are found in the area and consist of dark grey to orange brown dense and fine-grained olivine basalt. These interspersed outcrops are remnants of a basalt flow inferred to have infilled a palaeo-channel in the ancient Tertiary land surface.

Gold was extracted in the area from auriferous Silurian porphyry dykes with quartz veins. While seven shafts are shown on the map as present in a north-south alignment, approximately 250 m to the west of Yan Yean Road (incl. Golden Crown Mine) to the north of the subject Audit site, no shafts are shown on the map for the site or immediate surrounds itself.

11.4.2 Site Lithology

Fill material was encountered in the west of the site, associated with the former Grey’s Reef mine area, and in the eastern comer of the site associated with the residential area. The fill generally consisted of a mixture of sand, gravel and clay and contained some organic material.

Natural Clayey Silt underlies the filled areas and the remainder of the site. The natural soils are underlain by extremely weathered siltstone bedrock.

A typical profile of shallow soil as intersected is summarised in TABLE 5 below. Bore logs, including field sampling and testing records, are presented in Appendix E.

I I .4.3 Region a I Hy d rogeo logy

The natural silty clays underlying the site have a relatively low permeability. The fill material, which overlies the natural soils in parts of the site, is moderately to highly permeable.

Locally, a seasonally variable perched water table near surface overlies the less permeable clays. Regionally, groundwater is present through fractures in the bedrock. Groundwater was not encountered in the course of this investigation to a maximum depth of 1 .O metres. Hence, actual depth to groundwater has not been ascertained. The regional groundwater table in the vicinity of the site is likely to occur at a depth of at least 5 to 10 metres.

The local hydraulic gradient is likely to be directed towards Plenty River which flows in a south-westerly direction approximately 1 .O km to the west of the site.

11.4.4 Field Contamination Assessment

11.4.4.7 Visual and Olfactory Observations

No visual or olfactory evidence of soil contamination was noted in fill material across the site. No asbestos-containing materials were noticeable in introduced or indigenous soils.

11.4.4.2 Vapour Survey

Potential vapour phase contamination at the subject site was assessed by conducting a soil gas survey for volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Field borespace readings were recorded at each location during sampling. Background vapour concentrations in ambient air were recorded as 0.0 - 1.8 ppm.

Soil gas concentrations were detected at levels equivalent or similar to background levels (between 0.0 and 2.1 ppm) at all sample locations. Results of bore space monitoring and sample headspace tests are recorded on bore logs attached as Appendix E.

11.5 CHEMICAL ANALYSIS RESULTS

11.5.1 Initial Analysis

Results of the chemical analysis undertaken are attached as Appendix G.l (NATA endorsed final laboratory reports). Appendix G.2 includes QC results reported by the secondary laboratory (refer to Chapter 11.6 for QNQC evaluation).

Analysis results are summarised in Table 6a (composite heavy metals, OC Pesticides and pH), Table 6b (individual heavy metals of composite sample Comp 4) and Table 7 (individual volatile analyses with lead), Table 8 (balance of composite analyses), Table 9 (individual EPA screen analyses except volatiles), and Table 10 (individual arsenic and mercury analyses).

The tables also list one or more of the following screening criteria:

0 ANZECC B levels (“Environmental Investigation Limits”), or where ANZECC B criteria are not specified, ANZECC Health Investigation Limits (as for the individual aromatic hydrocarbon benzo(a)pyrene) and Dutch B criteria (for example the individual Organochlorine Pesticides)

0 EPAV Fill Material (“Clean Fill”) and Low-Level Contaminated Waste Limits (EPA Bulletin 448, 1995) as appropriate.

0 NEHF Health Investigation Guideline Levels (HIL) for residential exposure settings (“Level A”).

Analysis results for composite samples may conceal elevated concentrations in one or more individual samples, rather than representing average concentrations in the individual samples that make up the composite. Modrjication of the above assessment criteria specified for individual samples, according to the number of samples comprising the composite, takes the potential diluting effect of sample compositing into account. Modified Assessment Criteria for three-part composites are included in the tables as appropriate.

Results are summarised in the following the tables and discussed in detail below the tables.

The findings of the initial round of analysis are summarised below.

Arsenic:

Arsenic occurred at concentrations potentially in excess of ANZECC B guideline limits in three natural soil composites. Composite Samples Comp 3, Comp 4 and Comp 7 contained arsenic at 8.4 mgkg, 7.5 mgkg and 7.0 mgkg respectively, marginally above the modified ANZECC B limit of 6.67 ppm. Analysis of the three individual samples comprising composite sample Comp 4 returned results below reporting limits or, where detected, showed concentrations below ANZECC B criteria.

Arsenic exceeded the NEHF “A” Health Investigation Level (HIL) of 100 mgkg in six target samples. One sample contained arsenic at a level equivalent to the HIL. The EPAV Fill limit of 30 mgkg was exceeded in a further sixteen samples and the ANZECC B guideline limit of 20 mgkg was exceeded in a further three samples. The EPAV Low-Level contaminated fill limit for arsenic was exceeded by one target sample only.

Cadmium:

Cadmium occurred in one fill sample (T5-2701-1) at 8.0 mgkg, above the ANZECC B guideline and EPAV fill limits of 3 mgkg and 5 mgkg respectively.

Lead:

Lead occurred in one fill sample (T5-2701-1) at 520 mgkg, above the ANZECC B guideline, NEHF A and EPAV fill limits of 300 mgkg.

Zinc:

Zinc occurred at concentrations in excess of ANZECC B guideline limits in one near-surface (fill/soil) three part composite, ie. composite sample Comp 1 which contained zinc at 130 mg/kg, above the modified ANZECC B limit of 66.67 mgkg.

Target point sample T5-2701-1 (fill) contained zinc at 6,300 mgkg, above the ANZECC B guideline and EPAV Low Level Fill limits of 200 mgkg and 5000 mgkg respectively.

pH:

pH occurred at concentrations outside the ANZECC B guideline limits in two natural soil composites. Composite Samples 2 and 7 both had an acidic pH of 5.1, outside the ANZECC B limit of 6-8.

TPH’s:

TPH’s occurred at concentrations in excess of the ANZECC B guideline and EPAV fill limits in one fill sample. Shallow fill sample T5-2701-1 contained TPH’s (X9) at 1128 mgkg, above the ANZECC BEPAV fill limit of 1000 mgkg.

Other Parameters:

All other parameters (PAH’s, MAH’s, Cyanide, Organochlorine Pesticides, Organophosphorus Pesticides, PCB’s, Phenolics, and a further ten heavy metals) returned results below reporting limits or, where detected, showed concentrations below ANZECC B Criteria.

11.5.2 Further Analysis

Further analyses of samples were selected based on the results of the initial analysis.

The individual samples of composite sample Comp 1 were each analysed for zinc due to elevated levels of zinc in the original composite sample. Selected deeper fill samples were analysed for arsenic, cadmium, lead and zinc due to high concentrations of these parameters in the shallow fill samples at the same locations. Three deeper fill samples were analysed for arsenic and zinc. One of the deeper fill samples was also analysed for cadmium and lead.

The results are summarised in the following the tables and discussed in detail below

Arsenic:

Arsenic occurred at concentrations in excess of ANZECC B guideline limits in the three deeper fill samples analysed. Samples T5-270 1-22 and Tl l-270 1-2 both contained arsenic at 27 mg/kg while sample T13-2701-2 contained arsenic at 250 mg/kg. The latter concentration also exceeded the EPAV fill limit (30 mg/kg) and the NEHF A Health Investigation Level (100 mg/kg)*

Cadmium:

The deeper fill sample (T5-2701-2) contained cadmium at 3.2 mgkg, which was slightly above the ANZECC B guideline of 3 mgkg.

Lead:

Lead was detected in the deeper fill sample (T5-2701-2) at 210 mg/kg which was below ANZECC ByNEHF A and EPAV Fill Limits of 300 mg/kg.

Zinc:

Zinc was identified in two samples above the ANZECC B guideline limit of 200 mg/kg. Shallow fill sample G2-2401-1 contained zinc at 360 mg/kg and deeper fill sample T5-2701-2 contained zinc at 1,200 mg/kg, above the EPA Fill Limit.

Elutriation Testing - Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead and Zinc

Elutriation testing of samples showing the highest concentrations of arsenic, cadmium, lead and zinc was undertaken in order to determine metal leachability (“Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure”, TCLP method).

Elutriation testing of fill samples T5-2701-1 and T5-2701-2 was commissioned for cadmium, lead and zinc and of fill samples T11-2701-2 and T13-2701-2 for arsenic. Results are summarised in Table 12 below.

Table 12: Elutriation Test Results (TCLP)

Lead 0.046 0.14 - 50

Zinc 34 22 50

The elutriation test results (“TCLP” test) for arsenic, cadmium and lead indicate that the leachability of these metals is low. The TCLP results for zinc indicate that this metal has a moderate leachability, however, the leachable fraction remains below the EPAV low level limit.

We note that the elutriation test results above are conservative, since the adopted laboratory TCLP methodology employs an acid solution far more aggressive than any natural fluids likely to percolate through the soil profile at the site, thus exaggerating the leachable fraction of the metals under natural in-situ conditions.

11.6 DATA QUALITY EVALUATION

The QNQC program comprised both an internal laboratory quality control program comprising analysis of duplicates (repeat analyses), matrix spikes, blanks and known standards, as well as external quality checks by analysis of field duplicates (split samples) both at an external check laboratory (QNQC or secondary laboratory) and as blind duplicates analysed at the primary laboratory under anonymous sample numbers.

The results of analysis of field duplicate samples provide an inter-laboratory comparison with respect to accuracy and precision (sub-sample variability), and indicate how well the analytical results represent the soil quality at the test locations.

One trip blank and one equipment blank (both water samples) were taken and, as no volatile compounds were identified, only the equipment blanks were analysed for arsenic, cadmium, lead, and zinc subject to elevated analytes detected in the soil samples collected on the same day.

The analysis results of the following four sets of field duplicate samples and four sets of blind replicate samples are presented below.

Following receipt of initial results, a series of QNQC checks, sample and extract exchanges was carried out between the two laboratories involved, on the basis of large variations for arsenic.

The following tables include calculated values of “Relative Percentage Differences” (RPD).

RPD values (Relative Percentage Differences) include “Non-Detected” values, which are approximated to zero. Where one result is above and the other is below detection limits, half the detection limit is assumed for the not detected results. Where both results are below the detection limits, RPD is assumed to be nil.

RPD values were evaluated according to the Australian Standard AS 4482.1-1997 using the following formula to calculate RPD (Relative Percentage Difference) Values:

RPD (“’0) = Result 1 - Result 2 100 Mean

11.6.1 Split Duplicate Pairs

Table 14 compares analysis results of duplicate pairs by primary and secondary laboratories respectively. The table includes results of re-analysis of two samples for arsenic by the second laboratory commissioned due to significant variations from the main laboratory during initial analysis.

Variations between heavy metal concentrations ranged between 0% for cadmium and 153.3% for arsenic. The greatest variations were recorded for arsenic and chromium with RPDs of 153.3% and 99.2% respectively.

Variations in results may be due to one or more of the following reasons - Sample splitting - Sample heterogeneity - Sample preparation techniques at the laboratories - Sample extraction and analysis techniques.

55 of 235 &mGeoPollution Management

The repeat analysis of arsenic by the second laboratory confirmed higher results by the second laboratory, indicating good repeatability of the results by the same laboratory. As the large differences between the main laboratory’s and the QNQC laboratory’s analysis results remained, the two sample pairs were subsequently exchanged between the laboratories and reanalysed.

A series of follow-up check testing of arsenic variation was carried out and is presented in Section 11.6.3 of this chapter.

The overall average ‘Percent Relative Difference’ (RPD) across all analytes for this set of duplicate samples is 64.3 %, and is therefore outside the acceptable limit.

Variations between reported heavy metal concentrations ranged between 0% for cadmium and 101.89% for arsenic. The only other RPD above 50% was for mercury at 66.67%. Given that sample preparation and extraction techniques were identical, variations between blind duplicates are considered to be mainly due to sample heterogeneity.

The overall average ‘Relative Percent Difference’ (RPD) across all analytes for this set of duplicate samples is 32.6% and is therefore acceptable.

11.6.3 Further Work

11. 6.3. I Sample Exchange

Two samples were exchanged between the laboratories in an initial attempt to resolve significant discrepancies in results for the duplicate pairs T9-270 1- 1m9-2701 - 1DUP and T14- 270 1- 1/T14-270 1- 1DUP (Tables 16a and 16b).

Each laboratory reported its results in the range of those previously reported for .the equivalent routine or duplicate sample. Subsequently, enquiries were made pertaining to the laboratories’ sample preparation and extraction techniques with the following findings.

43 57 of 235 EA I079\Treloar\Yarrambat\aud &#) GeoPollution Management

Gribbles (GAL) did not perform any sieving or standardised screening to remove coarse particles and did not grind the samples. Instead, oversize particles were removed manually. This gave rise to some concern that manual removal of stones is arbitrary and the preparation did not have a uniform surface area for acid digestion to act upon. Therefore the representativeness of GAL’S results with regard to the bulk samples was doubtful.

The main differences between laboratories were with regard to the method of removal of larger size particles (manual selection or sieving), sub-sampling (or absence thereof) by cone & quartering and the extraction method (Microwave or Nitric Acid/Hydrogen PeroxideA-Iydrochloric Acid).

It was suspected that the differences in laboratory results were both due to sample splitting and particle size range in the sub-samples for extraction, grinding (or lack thereof) and extraction methods. The above findings indicated that sample heterogeneity and extraction techniques were likely to be the main reasons for the discrepancies between the two laboratories.

11.6.3.2 Exchange of Extracts

In order to address the issues involved, as requested by the Environmental Auditor (correspondence dated March 23,2000), the following further analysis was commissioned:

Homogeneity Issue: Preparation of aqueous slurry samples and splitting of slurries between MGT and Gribbles.

Particle Size Issue: The sample with the highest arsenic concentrations was subjected to grinding without stone removal or screening and analysed by both MGT and Gribbles.

Different Extraction Techniques: MGT were asked to prepare an extract as per their standard method and send it to Gribbles for metals analysis and compare with previous results reported by Gribbles.

Obtain a broad “correction factor” for GAL results: Several additional samples were analysed by MGT using their standard method, including two other samples with high arsenic concentrations and three from the general site with low arsenic concentrations. These sample were analysed for arsenic and three other metals.

In addition, recent data on arsenic analysis of a recognised standard sample were requested from both laboratories. These are attached to the end of Appendix G. 1 and G.2.

a) Sample Homogeneity

Sliirry Preparations

Reanalysis was initially commissioned following slurry preparation of two samples by Gribbles. Preparation of slurry samples and splitting of samples between MGT and Gribbles was also carried out subsequently (Tables 17a and 17b). Table 17a also includes previous results presented in Table 14 above.

ANALYTES DUPLICATE SAMPLES ARlTHM ETlC RPD* (%) Routine Sample Split Duplicate MEAN (Main Lab) (QAIQC’Lab)

The arsenic result following slurry preparation reported by GAL was more than twice as high as the non-slurried sub-sample analysed previously, indicating that sample homogeneity in preparation is an important contributing factor in variations between laboratories.

Repeat analysis of the original routine sample following slurrying by Gribbles yields also a higher result but only approx. half as high as MGT’s split duplicate results resulting in an RPD still slightly above 50%. This suggests a true variation between the field replicates.

MGT Report No. 1381 19 also includes arsenic results for standard soils.

The samples selected for slurry preparation were the duplicate pair from T9 with the highest reported Arsenic concentrations, including the routine sample originally dispatched to Gribbles and a portion of the split duplicate originally sent to MGT. Slurry analysis yielded 570 ppm of arsenic for the routine sample and 1300 ppm for the split duplicate.

The above table indicates that RPDs are greatly reduced as a result of slurry preparations. Both RPD's are now less than 50%.

Gribbles had previously reported much lower results for both samples using standard sample preparation techniques. This suggests that sample homogeneity may be the main underlying problem.

It is noted that, following slurry preparation, Gribbles were obtaining a similar result as MGT originally reported result for the split duplicate sample. The RPD in this case is less than 50%.

The GAL result of 1000 ppm following grinding without stone removal compares to an original result of 2 10 ppm using Gribbles’ standard sample preparation technique. This indicates that random particle size discrimination and the lack of grinding by GAL were likely to be contributing factors in variations of results. A higher result yet of 1300 ppm had been reported for a slurried subsample of the same soil sample (as reported on 6/3/2000).

The large discrepancies in results for subsamples from the same extract as reported by the two laboratories (Table 2 1 suggest) that laboratory analysis and detection methods may also play a role in poor data quality.

11.6.3 Summary Evaluation

Inter-La bora tory Comparison (Field Duplicates):

Precision

The overall average ‘Percent Relative Difference’ (RPD)across all analytes for field duplicate samples is 64.3 %, and is therefore outside the acceptable range of 0 - 50%.

The greatest variations were recorded for arsenic and chromium with RPDs of 153.3% and 99.2% respectively.

Acceptability / Completeness

The percentage of field duplicate analyses performed by primary and secondary laboratories (completeness) producing acceptable results was 50% compared to a desirable value of 95%. RPD variations greater than the acceptable 50% occurred for arsenic and chromium.

These differences are considered to be due to the non-homogenous distribution of these substances in fill material across the site and due to variations in laboratory extraction techniques.

Internal Laboratory Comparison (Blind Duplicates):

Precision

Blind duplicate pairs analysed by the primary laboratory showed mean ‘Relative Percentage Difference’ of 32.6%, indicating good repeatability.

Acceptability / Completeness

The percentage of blind duplicate analyses performed by the primary laboratory producing acceptable results (completeness) was 83.3% compared to a desirable value of 95%.

Overall Completeness:

Completeness is an indicator of the success of the sampling and analysis program. Completeness should be at least 95%. The overall completeness for this data set is 65%.

65 of 235 EA 1079\Treloar\Yarrambatbud GeoPollution Management

Internal QMQC:

Accuracy - Primary Laboratory:

Spike percentage recoveries were between 60 and 132 %. Recoveries outside of the generally acceptable range of 75 - 125% applied to the heavy metals arsenic, beryllium, boron, molybdenum and antimony, OC Pesticides and PCB's. The metals outside the range were all between 70 to 75% recovery indicating possible slight under-representation of actual concentrations.

Accuracy - Secondary Laboratory:

Spike percentage recoveries reported by the secondary laboratory were between 82.% and 10 1'YO within the acceptable range of 75%- 125%.

Equipment Blank Samples

Rinse Water Blanks:

The equipment blanks were analysed for arsenic, cadmium, lead and zinc, following identification of elevated concentrations of these compounds in soil samples during the initial round of analysis. Trace concentrations of zinc were detected in both rinsate blanks. The zinc concentrations were considered to be insignificant and not to affect the quality of the data. None of the remaining analytes of concern were detected in the rinsate blank samples.

Trip Blank:

Analysis of trip blank samples was not considered necessary given the absence of vapour contamination at the site.

111. GROUNDWATER

111.1 Introduction

This section covers groundwater information obtained from the Victorian Groundwater Data Base (via Sinclair Knight Men). A well location plot and discussion of anticipated groundwater flow direction are provided.

Selected data from the Victorian Groundwater Data Base are included as Appendix H to this report. Appendix H includes data from a total of four registered wells (ie. all uses), located within a 4 km radius of the site, the closest of which is located at 2.5 km distance to the west, beyond the Plenty River. The data are presented as four database reports including “Location”, “Aquifer Details” “Chemistry” and “Composite” (Appendix H). Four further registered boreholes are listed in the database which are under the authority of the Department of Energy & Minerals. No wells were located on the site.

111.2 Summary and Discussion of Data

Groundwater Extraction Wells in Vicinity of Site

Four wells are registered as groundwater investigation wells. Aquifer data is available for three of the wells.

One of the wells, located approximately 3.5 km east of the site, is screened from 7.9 m to 19.8 m in “sand”. The standing water level within this bore was recorded as 4.9 metres on 131h April 1971, indicating that the aquifer is confined. The most recent salinity data (26* May 1971) indicates a total dissolved solids content of 3,084 mg/L. Salinity data obtained a few weeks prior to this date varied from 6,967 to 7,897 ma. The variation in salinity may be attributable to the degree of well developmentlpurging taken place prior to sampling. This well is in use for domestic purposes and has a yield of approximately 1 litrekec (Vsec).

The two remaining wells for which groundwater data is available are located west of the site, beyond the Plenty River.

One of these wells is screened from 18.3 m to 50.3 m in basalt. Tertiary aged basalt is known to locally overlie Silurian sediments upon which the site is located (refer also to Section 11.4.1 above). The standing water level within this bore was recorded at 13.7 metres on 21” November 1972, indicating that the aquifer is confined. This well has a yield of approximately 0.6 Vsec and is under the authority of the municipality/shire.

The remaining well is screened from 16.3 m to 40.3 m within clay. The standing water level within this bore was recorded at a depth of 16.4 m on 24* February 1988. This well is used for domestic purposes. Details of its available yield are not known.

67 of 235 53 EA i 079\Treloar\Yarrambat\aud &#) GeoPollution Management

No groundwater chemistry data, including groundwater salinity, were available for the wells west of the site.

No standing water levels or groundwater chemistry is available for the four registered Department of Energy and Minerals investigation boreholes.

I I I.3 Groundwater Assessment Criteria

The State Environment Protection Policy Groundwaters of Victoria (EPA 1997) refers to the application of ANZECC criteria for assessment of groundwater quality with respect to identified beneficial uses of groundwater.

The ANZECC salinity guideline limit for the protection of ecosystems and for raw drinking water is 1000 mg/L. A limit of 3,000 mg/L is specified for stock watering.

Groundwater records have shown that groundwater in the vicinity of the site is used for domestic use. For the assessment of beneficial use, the lowest salinity value is used as it represents the most conservative case.

TDS (total dissolved solids) in groundwater from the “sand” aquifer was approximately 3,000 mg/L, corresponding to Segment B of the State Environment Protection Policy Groundwaters of Victoria (EPA 1997), prescribing protection of groundwater for the following beneficial uses;

3 Maintenance of Ecosystems, 3 Stock Watering, > Potable mineral water supply 3 Agricultural, parks and gardens 3 Industrial water use, 3 Primary contact recreation and 3 Buildings and Structures

Groundwater from the clay deposits is used for domestic purposes and thus is likely to also correspond the above beneficial uses. The basaltic aquifer overlies the sediments which underlie the subject site and thus is not relevant to this discussion.

Given:

3 the closest groundwater receptor for consideration for the maintenance of ecosystems is the Plenty River, located approximately 1.0 km to the west of the site, and approximately the same distance down-gradient in terms of groundwater flow (approximately south-west);

3 the absence of any receiving surface waters closer to the site which might have been used for recreation;

68 of 235 EA I079\Treloar\Yarrambat\aud &mGeoPollution Managemei

r-

> the “non-mineral” nature of the groundwater; and

3 the proposed residential redevelopment of the site,

the most likely potential beneficial uses for groundwater beneath the site are potable water, agriculture, parks and gardens, and buildings and structures.

IV. CONCLUSIONS

This site assessment focussed on the evaluation of the environmental quality of near-surface soils, including an assessment of the extent and quality of fill material across the site. The surface layer is the relevant stratum for assessing human exposure risks.

ANZECC B/DUTCH B limits and ANZECC Health Investigation Limits (ANZECC & NHMRC, 1992) were adopted for evaluation of analysis results. Results were also compared with EPAV Fill and EPAV Low Level Fill Material Limits (EPA Bulletin 448, “Classification of Wastes”, 1995) for consideration with regards to any off-site disposal of any soil which may be excavated during the site preparation works for the proposed residential development. For final data evaluation, concentrations are also compared with health risk-based investigation levels for “Standard Residential Settings” (exposure scenarios), ie. NEHF Level “A” criteria (Imray and Langley 1996).

Significant results of this Environmental Site Assessment are summarised below:

IV.l History Search and Field Observations

The site history search revealed that during the nineteenth century and in the early years of the twentieth century, Grey’s Reef Gold Mine operated in the west of the site. By 1901 a battery plant was also present. The battery plant was used for crushing quartz rock ore. Historical evidence suggests that on site treatment of ore (gold processing) may also have occurred. This process involved the release of toxic elements such as mercury, cyanide and zinc from the processing materials, and arsenic from the ore itself.

Mining operations are reported to have ceased in 1938. Since that date the site has been occupied by Mr & Mrs J.K. and E. Treloar who farmed the site, growing corn and green feeds for chickens, and grazed horses. Visual evidence of former mining is still present in a northeast-southwest traversing band in the western portion of the site which features mullock heaps, fill mounds and infilled prospecting pits (or possible shafts). A dry creek bed at the southern end of former mining area has been infilled and its surrounds have been used for dumping of vehicles.

The site history investigation, site inspection and site interviews have indicated that no underground facilities (in-ground fuel storage tanks or pits) are present or have ever been present within the site boundaries.

Fill was found in the west of the site, associated with the former gold mine, to depths of 0.15 to 1.O metres plus (total fill depth unconfirmed at most test locations). Fill was also found in the eastern corner of the site associated with the residential development to depths of 0.2 to 0.25 metres. Rehsal on coarse material in the filVsiltstone bedrock occurred at two of the forty nine test points. The fill material is heterogeneous and contained a mixture of silt, clay andor gravel at all test locations. 70 of 235 -56 EA I079\Treloar\Yarrambat\aud 4b GeoPollution Managema

0 No asbestos, either in the form of sheet fragments or lagging, was observed on the site surface or within fill material.

IV.2 Chemical Analysis Results - Soil

Concentrations of most potential contaminants were below ANZECC B levels in surface and deeper fill and natural soil samples analysed, apart from arsenic, cadmium, lead, zinc and TPH’s.

Fill material typically contains arsenic at levels above the ANZECC B limit. The peak concentration at test location T13 (second sample) was 430 mag, in excess of the EPAV low-level contaminated fill limit (“Prescribed Waste”). The NEHF “A” Health Investigation Level was exceeded in seven target samples and the EPAV Fill limit was exceeded in a further seventeen samples. Arsenic contamination was present in both the surface fill layer (0.0-0.1 m) and in deeper fill (0.3-0.5m). The 95% UCL value of the arithmetic mean of the sample concentrations is 78.8 mgkg, which is in excess of the ANZECC B guideline and EPAV Fill limits. Higher concentrations of arsenic were typically reported by the second laboratory, with a second sample in the Prescribed Waste range at 1 100 mgkg (target test point T9).

Cadmium, lead, zinc and TPH’s were identified at concentrations above the ANZECC B guideline and EPAV fill limits in one shallow fill sample (T5). Further heavy metal analysis of deeper fill at this location identified arsenic and cadmium marginally above the ANZECC B guideline levels and zinc above both the ANZECC B guideline and EPAV fill b limits. The 95% UCL of the arithmetic mean for cadmium, lead, zinc and TPH are all below the ANZECC guideline and EPAV Fill limits.

Elutriation test results for samples showing the highest concentrations of arsenic, cadmium, lead and zinc indicated that the leachability of the first three metals is low, and that leachability of zinc is moderate but does not exceed the EPAV Fill guideline limit for elutriable fractions.

Arsenic was identified in excess of the ANZECC B guideline limit in three natural soil composite samples. Further analysis of the individual samples from one of the composite samples returned results below reporting limits or, where detected, showed concentrations below ANZECC B criteria.

Zinc was identified in excess of the ANZECC B guideline limit in one natural soil sample.

Concentrations of detected contaminants in all grid and target samples analysed (surface, deeper fill and natural soil) were averaged and are summarised in TABLE 23. Upper confidence limits (at 95%) of mean concentrations were calculated according to NSW EPA Sampling Design Guidelines (NSW EPA 1995).

Table 23 shows that 95% UCL of the arithmetic mean of most analytes detected in natural soil and fill samples from across the site to be below the ANZECC B guideline criteria except for arsenic and zinc. Peak concentrations are above the ANZECC B guideline and EPA Fill Limits for the heavy metals arsenic, cadmium, lead and zinc, and for TPH’s in the range CIOto c36 (heavier mineral oil fraction hydrocarbons). The peak concentration of arsenic and zinc also exceeds the EPA Low Level Contaminated Fill Level. The peak concentrations of arsenic and lead are above the NEHF HIL Level A.

While peak concentrations of arsenic, cadmium, lead and zinc exceeded the ANZECC B levels, elutriation testing showed that elevated metals have negligible leachability.

pH values in two natural soil composite samples are acidic (5.1) and outside the naturally occurring range, providing evidence of possible infiltration of process liquids from past gold mining/processing activities.

OC and OP Pesticides, PAH, PCB and Phenolics in composite samples were all reported below laboratory detection limits. Heavy metals (apart from arsenic and zinc) were well below assessment criteria in composite samples.

OC Pesticides, PCB, Phenolic compounds, cyanide, MAH and heavy metals apart from arsenic, cadmium, lead and zinc in individual samples were all reported below laboratory detection limits or well below assessment criteria.

QNQC duplicates showed some RPD’s above acceptable criteria, specifically for arsenic and chromium. Further work indicated that lead and zinc were also affected. Overall completeness of the QNQC data was 65% short of the target value of 95%. Elevated relative percentage difference results are attributed to heterogeneous distributions, apparently associated with particle size, of these heavy metals in the source material and to differences in the laboratories’ sample preparation and extraction techniques. It is considered that a correction factor(s) would need to be applied to the main laboratory’s entire data set, but for arsenic in particular, as the reported concentrations appear to be under-representations of actual concentrations.

As individual analytes (arsenic and zinc) are locally above the EPAV Low Level Contaminated Fill limits, fill material in those areas would be classified as Prescribed Waste, according to EPA Bulletin 448 (1995) for the purpose of off-site disposal. The subject areas are an infilled creek bed at the southern end of the former inferred Grey’s Reef Mine area and two fill mounds within the former mining area itself.

IV.3 Groundwater Assessment

A groundwater data base search and qualitative assessment of potential impact on beneficial uses has shown the following.

Data from a total of four registered wells (all uses), located within a 4 km radius of the site were available from the Victorian Groundwater Data Base. The regional watertable in the vicinity of the subject site is likely to occur at least 5 to 10 metres below the surface.

The direction of groundwater flow beneath the site is considered likely to be between southwesterly (towards Plenty River).

Groundwater TDS data indicates that existing and potential beneficial usesof groundwater on- and off-site are the maintenance of ecosystems, potable water supply, agriculture, parks and gardens, stock watering, primary contact recreation, and protection of buildings and structures.

IV.4 Summary

In summary, the soil data obtained during this comprehensive site assessment suggest that fill material is heterogeneous and contains pockets of arsenic above ANZECC B guideline and Health Based Soil Investigation (HIL) limits. Two hot spots of arsenic contamination in the former mining area are above EPAV Low level Contaminated Waste limits (EPA Bulletin 448, 1995).

Hot spot areas of cadmium, lead, zinc and TPH contamination above the ANZECC B guideline, some above the EPAV Fill and Health based Soil Investigation Limits and of zinc contamination above the EPA Low-Level Contaminated Waste limit were also identified, in particular affecting fill in a dry creek bed at the southern end of the former mining area.

In the absence of any history of underground fuel storage at the site, and the absence of any significant mobile contamination by heavy metals or other soil contaminants at the site, and given the depth to groundwater and the likely low permeability of the natural soils and bedrock beneath the fill, it is considered that any adverse impact on beneficial uses of groundwater on- and off-site as a result of soil contamination at the site is unlikely.

V. RECOMMENDATIONS

The results obtained in this comprehensive assessment imply that, unless clean up is undertaken to bring the entire site in compliance with ANZECC B guideline levels, the site is not considered eligible for a Certificate of Environmental Audit but will receive a conditional Statement.

In consideration of the above, we recommend the following:

Removal of dumped debris, and of contaminated fill within the dry creek bed; mullock heaps in the former mine area remain.

A conditional Statement of Environmental Audit would be issued which would state that part of the site is contaminated with arsenic of natural origin and therefore is not suitable for any or all beneficial uses but would be suitable for sensitive uses in particular residential use subject to management and containment of waste.

Removal of all contaminated soil including the mullock heaps and importation of clean soil to provide a cover for the former mine workings of at least 300 mm. The removal would require appropriate validation in accordance with EPA guidelines.

A' conditional Statement of Environmental Audit would be issued with conditions applicable to a smaller area.

As individual analytes (cadmium, lead and TPH, arsenic and zinc) in isolated pockets on the site, as identified during this assessment, are above the EPAV Fill Material andor EPAV Low Level Contaminated Fill limits respectively, the results indicate that fill material on the site should be classified as potentially contaminated waste according to EPA Bulletin 448 (1995) for the purpose of off-site disposal.

Fill will be subject to EPA regulations and requirements and would be classified as per Prescribed Waste Regulations 1998 (refer also to EPA Information Bulletin 626, 1998 and EPA Information Bulletin 395a, 1999) as Prescribed Waste (low- or high-level contaminated). All site fill should be treated as potentially contaminated material, unless analysis of any discrete volumes of fill (at representative frequency) excavated from the site and designated for off-site disposal, indicated otherwise.

LIMITATIONS OF THIS INVESTIGATION

While the spacing and number of test locations was chosen to be representative of the overall site, inherent limitations remain as for any assessment based on a limited number of spot tests.

The precision with which sub-surface conditions are indicated depends not only on the frequency and method of sampling but also on the degree of uniformity of sub-surface material. The borehole logs represent the sub-surface conditions at specific test locations only. Boundaries between strata as indicated on the log sheets are often not distinct but transitional and are a result of interpretation of the field observations.

Point data have been extrapolated across the site (or across certain portions of the site) using best available knowledge combined with professional judgement.

No guarantees can be given as to the maintenance of the environmental condition of the site surface as described in this report, during future earthworks and building construction or any other activities on the site prior to residential occupation (eg. possible occurrence of fuel or oil spillages).

Attention: Mr Fraser Watt

RE: SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PROGRAM - FINAL REVISION

Project: Environmental Audit Lot 1,323 - 325 Yan Yean Road, Yarrambat

Dear Fraser,

In response to your facsimile of 17” January 2000, I have reviewed the planned program once more and our final proposal is presented below. Since our previous work plan (dated 17* January) we have reviewed fbrther results from Golder’s report (copy currently being couriered to your office. Previous test points and relevant results can be referenced fiom this report (we are currently still holding the full Golder report in case you require any additional information).

The initial site assessment carried out by Golder Associates has indicated elevated arsenic concentrations in the western portion of the site coinciding with the “inferred Grey’s Reef Mine kea” as indicated on the site plan included in the Golder report. The Mine area consists of numerous fill mounds, mullock heaps and prospecting pits which are approximately indicated on the attached Figure 2. Since the initial stage of the Audit in 1998, car bodies and most other rubbish have been removed from the south-western corner of the site and loose fill has been pushed across to level this area.

Review of analysis results fiom the full Golder report has shown that three “hot spots” of arsenic contamination were detected in the former mining area. These are sample points HA 4218 with concentrations of 1000 and 640 ppm HA 43/10 with concentrations of 400 and 470 ppm and HA43/11 with concentrations of 360 and 130 ppm of arsenic. We have taken coordinates for the three test points fiom Golder’s plan and will attempt to identify the locations. Ifwe have not allocated a test point in the vicinity as yet, we will then take additional samples to determine the extent of the hot spots.

The following scope of work is proposed.

A. SOIL

1. Proposed Samplinq Intervals:

Sampling intervals will be as follows (with minor variations subject to actual soil profiles encountered).

GeoPollution Management Pty. Ltd. ACN 067 a5754 241107 - 113 Heatherdale Road, Ringwood. Victoria. 3134 Phone: (03) 9873 2799 Fax: (03) 9873 289989 of 235 P.O. Box 441 Ringwood. Victoria. 3134 ~~ ~~~

GeoPoIIution Management

A: 0.0-O.lm B: 0.2 - (0.4 - 0.5m)

Sampling at all locations will include natural soil below any fill material if present. Where deeper fill is encountered at the site (fill mounds), additional samples of fill will be collected at a rate of one sample for every half metre. a) Grid Points Each grid test point will be advanced to a minimum of 0.5 metres to veri@ soil profiles. We will collect one surface sample only at grid test points where natural soil is exposed at surface. If fill is encountered at surface, at least one additional sample of natural soil underlying fill will be collected. No grid points will fall in the inferred previous mine area as this is covered by target points (see below). b) Target Points A minimum of two soil samples will be collected from each target point in the former mine and rubbish dump areas. Most sampling in this area will only be possible with hand equipment. Hence, sampling depth may be limited if rehsal on compacted siltstone rock or other coarse material is encountered. As mentioned above, if previously identified “hot spots” do not coincide with planned test points in the near vicinity, we would take additional samples. This may result in an additional three sampling points.

2. Sampling Pattern: a) Grid Points We propose to overlay the site by a 45 x 45 m grid with one grid point in the centre (or as close as possible to the centre) of each grid sector as shown on the attached Figure 1. This would result in a total of 24 grid points. b) Target Points A total of 18 (+3?) target points will be placed on fill mounds, mullock heaps and at prospecting pits that have previously not been sampled. Three points will be located in the area of the former rubbish dump and infilled dry creek bed.

The proposed sampling fiequency will result in 24 grid sampling points and 21 (+3?) target sampling points.

3. Analysis Schedule

The following table summarises the proposed analysis schedule. Eight composited grid-locatior: surface samples will be analysed as shown. All compositing will be carried out at the laboratory. Samples from eighteen target locations in the area of mine workings .will be analysec individually for arsenic and mercury. The plan allows for two samples per test point to bc analysed for arsenic and 50% of samples to be analysed for mercury.

90 of 235 GeoPollution Management

Two widely-spaced samples from the general site will be analysed for the balance of an EPA Screen. Three surface samples targeting the area of dumped rubbish including the former dump area and the infilled creek bed will be analysed for petroleum-related compounds and two samples from this area will be subject to full EPA SCREEN analysis. Should any deeper fill appear suspect, additional EPA SCREEN analysis may be necessary.

RE: Metals Testing in So&

Dear Karin, Plem find attached die results of an in-house reference material soil. Our experience has shown that discrepancies are usually due to homogeneity issues of the soil.

I? would appear tbat ctuf standard homogenisation technique may not be appropriate

to the soil rypes subxittd

'We ofka number of specific hornogenisation techniques for metals testing. A very effeaive and simple om being a dry grinding of the entire soil sample in a mortar and pestle prior to sieving:. Adriaa wdl contact yau tomorrow regankg the feasibility cf this tec~quefor you routine samples.

Re:- QNQC Discrepancy - Arsenic (Your Job No. U1079)

Dear Karin,

As requested in your fax dated 7.3.2000,I provide the following details on our methodology, as well as some general comments, to help you clarify any differences obtained.

We initially received two samples for Arsenic analysis and obtained the following results:-

Sample T9-270 1- 1Dup. (la1 8 17) Arsenic 1100 m@g. Sample T14-2701-1Dup(Jal818) Arsenic 280 mg/kg.

Due to some difference between these results and thosc obtained by Gribbles we were requested to confirm the results by re-analysis. The ~~alyEedresults obtained were:-

Sample T9-2701-1Dup.(Fe1311) Arsenic 1000 m@g. In-house Duplicate 1100 mgkg Sample T14-2701-1Dup(Fc1312) Arsenic 300 mg/kg,

Given that these were check samples of primary work performed by Gribbles Analytical, and that Gribbles must have obtained differing results, we were subsequently requested to send the samples back to Gribbles so that they could analyse our splits, and we received a portion of their sample for analysis.

The results of these subsequent analyses were ESfollows:-

Sample T9-2701-1.(Fe2455) Arsenic 930 mg/kg. In-house Duplicate 950 mgkg Sample T14-2701-1(Fe2456) Arsenic 280 m&.

These results agreed well with our originally an-d samples. T am not privy to any resultr obtained by Gribbles, but it varsthat their analysis results agreed with their originally reported results as well, but differed significantly from ours.

~allpageinot recehcd, please mtad leabow on (03) 564 7055.

This would tend to suggest a methodology related reason for the varying results bemen laboramies. In order to further segregate exactly where the problem lies, it would be necessary to split acid extracts ratha than samples. Such a procedure would indicate whether the analyticat determination itself, or the prepantiadextraction procedure, is where the variation is occuring.

Experience ells me that even slight differences in sample preparation procedures or facton such as the length or temperatun of extractlon, the acid strength and even the ratio of acid to sample may all result in differences to the final concentretion determined It is most li&+ that it is !his prepmalion and 1 or exnaction stage thal is caustng the variation

It is quite possible that written descriptions of methodology employed by each laboratory may provide a glaring difference, but it is also possible that the differences may be so subtle . that they are nat able to be discerned. In such circumswces, the only real way to confm where the problem exists is to split the acid extracts.

It is hi@y unlikely that either laboratory would provide differing results for an 'acid extract'. This could really only OCQWif incorrect calibration standards were being used, and all laboratories have considerable checks in place to confirm the inregrity of such standards.

On occasions in the past, where circumstances such as these have occumd, it has been found that it is the sample preparation or digestion procedure where the differences emmanare. Our approach has always been to analyse certified of standard soils of known concentration by the same tcchnique, and as long as thew results fall within the acceptable range, we can be confident that our procedure is providing a true indication of the levels present.

Certain samples are SD ma homogeneous however, that even if all correct analytical procedures art employed, the mere way the samples are treated is enough to produce markedly differing results. To take an exueme example, if we were to rcccive a sample of fine clay powder, containing one large rock of approx 6cm diameter, we could either remove and analyse only the clay powder, or we could crush the rock to a similiar consistency and analyse the entire sample. Each approach would give markedly different results, but which is more representative of the true result. In order to determine this, questions relating to the actual sampling technique in the field need to be addressed. Is the % of rock contained m the sample truely reprcstnt&vc of the situation in the field or has a spurious piece of rock happened to be placed in the sample? Mast protocols dictate removing large exrraneous materials prior to analysis, in an attempt to overcome this problem.

The methodolow details art as follows:- (Ihave followed the numbering system employed in your fax, answering each query in turn.)

1. Samples were manually ground with a mom k pestle to break up any aggiomerated soil. Any rocks or extraneous material greater than 5mm were removed by sieving. These were weighed and set aside. They were not analysed Please note that bath these samples consisted dveqfine powdery material (c lmm) inbmpersed with rocks vaying in size mp to 40mm. ,!"allpagar not received,plense coma the abave on (03) 564 7055.

221 of 235 MGT CONSULTING +++ GEOPOLLUTION

If Gribbles crushed the entire sample, including the rocks, (which are unlhly to contain any Arsenic), then this would result in a lower result, and may possibly account for the differences.

The samples were tben homogtnised by cone & quarter procedure. A 2 gram sub-sample was takcn for digestion.

2. Samples are digested in a field moist state, and a codonfactor applied to convert results to (‘dry basis” after analysis.

For sample T9-2701-1 the moistm content WRS detennmed to be 8.2 % Wet results were multiplied by 100 to obtain results on a dry basis. (100 - 8.2)

For sample T14-2701-1 the moisture content was determined to be 4.4 % Wet results were multiplied by 100 to obtain results on a dry basis. (1 00 - 4.4)

3. Samples were analysed in a field moist state.

4. Samples were coned & quartered to obtain subsample for analysis. This was done after preliminary sample preparation described in Point 1.

5. As described in point 1, samples were seived to remove extraneous materials greater than 5mm in size. (ie rocks and sticks.) as detailed in ANZECC EPA 1996 “Guidelinesfor the Laboratory Anatyslj of Contaminated Soik”

6. Removed material was not quantified.

7. The Qpical particle sizc subjected UIextraction was sub lmm. (probably sub 0.5mm)

8. A 2 gram subsample was takcn.

9. Samples were emacted at 95 C with Nitric Acid /Hydrogen Peroxide for 2 hours. Hydrochloric Acid was then addzd and the mixhlfe digested for a further 30 mins.

10 The fiaat makeup volume was 4Oml.

11. Analysis was performed by ICP-AES

12. Hydride Generation was not used.

13. Instrumental readinga exceeded the calibration range and required dilution to bring it within range for both samples.

14. Elmtion teas were not requested.
