Attention : Mr D Graffen
Dear Mr Graffen, Subjed: Soil contamination assessment property: Goodwood Drive Depot (former) Reference: Order No 080270 Further to our letter of 1st October 1996, we are pleased to report herein on the assessment of the former Goodwood Drive Depot site.
The site The site lies with its long dimension east-west and is approximately 130m long by 80m wide. Northern and southern boundaries are straight and eastern and western boundaries are irregular. Northern and southern boundaries are timber paling fenced and eastern and western boundaries are fenced by wire mesh. In the south-west corner a small portion of land juts out some 30m to the west and in the north-east corner, a further small portion of land juts out some 30m east as far as Billing Street. Access to the site is via an angled entrance road from Goodwood Drive to the east, the land of which was not part of this assessment. The aforementioned jutting out portions and the main site are a part of this assessment.
Neighbouring properties are all residences :-
13 private houses to the south on Bailey Court 8 private residences to the north on Ann Street 3 private houses to the east, two on Goodwood Drive and one on Billing Street 2 private houses and the N L Williams Hostel for the Aged to the west, all with Springvale Road frontage. Goodwood Drive is a rectangular street block with access only from View Road to the east and Billing Street to the north. The site entrance road is built on land described as Lot 27 in Certificate of Title Volume 8414 Folio 879 and adjoins Goodwood Drive at the point where Billing Street enters. Access may also be gained to the site by arrangement, via locked gates abutting Billing Street and further locked gates abutting the aged persons hostel site. The site is gently sloping towards the Goodwood Drive entrance and is partly tree covered. It is quiet and of a pleasant disposition. The soil is very sandy and the water table was remarkably close to the surface at time of assessment. The site we believe, is readily

Some existing trees are considered worthy of retention such as the established blue spruce, moreton bay fig and poplars, though the bulk of trees present need not be considered an embarrassment in development terms. Whilst the seclusion of the property is we believe, a major factor in causing the site to be so pleasant presently, the construction of road access to Springvale Road to the west via the private property or part of it is perhaps possible in the long term, or perhaps the construction of a pedestrian pathway through the site to Springvale Road might be considered.
Background A detailed site history appraisal was conducted by Golder Associates Pty Ltd for the City of Greater Dandenong in July 1996 and its findings formed the basis for consideration by the City, as to the form which an environmental assessment should take. The Golder Associates report is attached hereto but in brief, its findings were as follows :-
4 aerial photographs, 7 drawings, Council records, Council officer advice, prior Golder Associates reports and Sands & MacDougall Directories of Victoria provided data for the site history appraisal
At the time, a certificate of title for the site was not available
There is some doubt as to the location of the boundary of the site to the west; existing fences were used by us to signify the extent of the site
The site used to be divided into two along an east-west centre line, the property to the south having been the initial depot and nursery site and the property to the north having been a former Gas and Fuel Corporation site
A gasometer is shown to have been present near the western boundary of the site on land now occupied by the H L Wlliams Hostel
Immediate prior use of the site was by the former City of Springvale as its Parks and Gardens Depot and Nursery; this use ceased in 1995
Since cessation of use as a depot and nursery, no other use of the site has been made and in July/August 1996, all improvements were removed by Guilfoyle Wreckers Pty Ltd, including buildings and bitumen and concrete ground coverings. I F Thomas & Associates Pty Ltd was engaged to conduct this assessment early in August and its officers were able to view the site at time of tender prior to demolition works and upon engagement, whilst demolition was taking place. As part of the process of assessing the site, we have visited it on 8 occasions, the principle such occasion having been 28th August 1996. Soil sampling was conducted upon that date, after demolition works were complete.
Work done Preliminary visits to the site were conducted to ascertain the nature of neighbouring properties, to photograph, measure and peg the site and to permit familiarity with

In addition, 3 samples of sediment were collected from stormwater pits present. Drilling was performed by A S MacGregor Soil Engineering Pty Ltd, using a Mac type A3 drill mounted at the rear of a 6-wheeled Toyota Landcruiser 4-wheel-drive vehicle. All parts of the site were accessible by this means though care was necessary in parts where water lay on the surface.
Definition of sampling locations Sample locations were measured from boundary fences and from two sets of non- permanent pegs spaced along the two long sides of the site at 30m intervals. All measurements were made using a steel measuring tape. Whilst installed pegs are not permanent, the site is reasonably secure and isolated and contains no items attractive to the public.Pegs are therefore likely to remain in place for some time. At our most recent visit on 14th September, all reference pegs and sample point markers were still present. Additional assurance of locations and of protocols was provided by the taking of photographs, a selection of which is appended hereto. In the accompanying site diagram distances from sampling locations to reference pegs are cited north-south (across-site) first and east-west (along-site) second. soil sampling protocol Samples were collected off the drill auger by hand and by steel trowel and placed upon a plastic sheet located on the ground adjacent to the borehole. Sample depth was ascertained by reference to permanent marks on the drilling rig structure. Part of the soil sample collected on the plastic sheet was then placed into open-topped glass jars. Jar lids were sealed with aluminium foil and placed into a mobile refrigerator. Soil was very friable at all locations and wet at most locations. No soil samples were of a sticky or oily nature. Consequently, all equipment cleaning between samples was conducted by hand, by brush and by use of water. Re-use of the plastic sheet was enacted after first removing all of the contents from the previous sampling activity. Fresh plastic sheet was used when cleaning became ineffective. Samples were taken to the laboratory within 24 hours of completing site work. Jars were labelled on their faces with the following unambiguous information :-

Soil types encountered
An engineering log for the 26 bore locations drilled, is attached hereto. Those areas of the site which contained buildings or roads are filled to a typical depth of 0.3m to 0.4m.
Fill types present are :-
Loose medium density grey and brown sandy silt gravel and rubble Loose grey silty sand Loose sand and gravel Loose grey silty sand and gravel Loose grey clayey sand and gravel Loose grey silty sand containing rubble Loose grey silty sand and gravel
Upper layer natural soil types are :-
Loose medium density grey and brown silty soil Loose grey silty soil Loose medium density grey and brown silty sandy soil
Lower natural layer soil types (to 3.0m max) are :-
Medium density grey and brown clayey soil Loose medium density grey and brown silty slightly clayey soil Grey and white clayey soil Orange and brown clayey soil Orange and brown slightly clayey soil Stiff and very stiff orange brown and grey sandy soil Brown clayey and slightly clayey soil Loose medium density grey and brown silty soil
Groundwater levels encountered and deduced At the time of drilling, a large, believed to be perched water body was present commencing at 1.0m to 2.0m below the surface. Only one bore hole was dry on completion, one filled with water slowly and groundwater rose out of two bores. A preliminary interrogation of the Water Bureau Department of Natural Resources and Environment Victorian Groundwater Database, shows that the non-perched groundwater table at the site is in the range 6m to 10m deep.
Analysis logic The following logic was used to develop the analytical programme.

of its NATA status. This showed that accuracies lay within the required 80% to 120% range required and that precision lay within the +/- 20% to 50% range required.
Conclusions
The work done herein, combined with previous historical appraisal work done on this site, shows that prior uses have not contaminated the site with substances analysed for in the locations and at the depths analysed. The selection of substances to analyse for and of locations in which to analyse, is such that we believe it can be concluded that this site is clean. We conclude also that advice obtained from various sources indicating prior possible contamination of the site, suggests that any prior pollutants which may have been present, have now either biodegraded or have left the site via the very open and non- binding soil structure present. However, to ensure that a certificate of environmental audit will be issued for the site, the following recommendations for verification are made. Recommendations
All of the following recommendations must be complied with to permit issue of a certificate of environmental audit. Such a certificate will permit the site to be developed fir any purpose without restriction :-
That the unsampled area between sample locations nos 12, 13, 14, 15 and 17 be sampled and samples individually analysed for a range of metals That further sampling be conducted of the former roadway area fill material ie to the west of sample points 24 and 25, and analysed for metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH’s)
That samples 4, 5, 6, 28 and 29 be analysed individually for volatile organic compounds (results herein are for composites of samples 4, 5 and 6 and of 28 and 29)
That samples 9, 18, 19 and 24 be individually analysed for organochlorine pesticides and metals (results herein are for a composite sample of samples 9, 18, 19 and 24 for lead only) That certain selected samples be analysed by a second laboratory; we specifically recommend that in view of the very ‘blank’ result sheet thus far obtained, the second verifying laboratory be one which uses more thorough sample preparation and analytical techniques.
That an unequivocal certificate of title for the site (presently being sought) be obtained That the further, verification sampling and testing be conducted with an understanding of the nature of the proposed residential subdivision (currently being prepared), essentially to ensure that at least one sample point per subdivided property is available

We have passed sampling and analysis details to our 'auditor's representative for his consideration and advice, and will complete our report as soon as that advice is available. In the meantime, we take the opportunity to share with you, the fact that despite extensive sampling and analysis,-results indicate that the site is not contaminated at all. As agreed, deeper samples have also been collected and are being held by us. We anticipate therefore, that the process of obtaining a Certificate of Environmental Audit will be quite straightforward and relatively inexpensive. It is likely that the auditor will require the conducting of some cross-check sampling and some cross-check analysis performed by another laboratory. We will present our formal assessment report to you soon.

Thankyou for. forwarding draft results of the initial site assessment conducted at the City of Greater Dmdenong former Parks and Gardens Depot, Goodwood Drive, Springvale, The sampling program conducted at the site provides an adequate coverage for this initial site assessment for determining the contamination status. We confhn that the compositing process was appropriate for this initial investigation. The results of the assessment indicate contaminant levels do not exceed values consistent with unrestricted use of the site, Given this indication, as part of the auditing process we would like to see gome confirmation of the results. To achieve this: 2 selected samples should be analysed as duplicate samples by B secondary XATA regietered laboratory to provide information on the repeatability and accuracy of the laboratory results; 36 of 119 samples 4, 5, 6, 28 and 29 analysed individually for VOCs. We are concerned that the cornpositing process and opening of jar samples to prepare samples for volatile analysis would have impaired the reliability of VOC measurements; area between smpling locations 12 , 13, 14 and 17 - 2 samples taken for individual analysis for seven metals; roadway areas - two samples analysed individually Born fUmaterials making up the roads for PAH and seven metals; and, individual analysis of samples making up the composites 28+29 and 9/.18/19/24. Analysis should be conducted for metals and pesticides. A Certificate of Environmental Audit could be issued for the site. Please contact Luke Cattlin or myself should you have any queries.

This depot is no longer operational as the City of Greater Dandenong has consolidated its nursery services following recent council amalgamations. It now uses the Cheltenham Road Depot for all its maintenance support activities. The site history review has been undertaken as a first stage of determining whether site contamination is present at this site and to determine the scope for a preliminary site contamination assessment involving soil sampling. This report documents the information on the site history for the Goodwood Drive Depot. that was readily available and identifies areas of potential environmental concern to be targeted in a proposed initial soil sampling program which would be necessary to obtain a preliminary understanding of the nature of any contamination that may exist at the site. 2.0 SCOPE OF WORK A proposal to conduct- site history reviews of three current or former Council Depots within the City of Greater Dandenong was provided to the City of Greater Dandenong in a letter dated November 13, 1995. Approval to conduct the work was given by the City of Greater Dandenong in a letter dated, December 7, 1995. The review involved the following scope of work: Inspections of the three sites to identify any areas of potential environmental concern. Discussions with staff from the City of Greater Dandenong and ky other relevant parties as to the history of the site. Examination of council records readily available about the site. Review of publicly available information regarding the site such as Certificates of Title, EPA Contaminated Sites Register and other relevant historical information; Review of aerial photographs Golder Associates 40 of 119 July5, 1996 -2- 95613659/11 Preparation of a concise report for each site summarising the findings of the site history review and listing the potential areas of environmental concern. 3.0 SITEDEFINITION The site is located in Goodwood Drive and is within the City of Greater Dandenong. The site occupies about 1.3 hectares. It is understood it had only been vacated in mid to late 1995 and had operated as the main Parks and Gardens Depot for the former City of Springvale up to that time. The main purpose of the depot was to house Parks and Gardens equipment and machines used for maintaining the Council’s parks and gardens. The depot also undertook nursery activities including growing plants for planting in parks and gardens within the municipality. The activities of the depot have now been transferred to the Cheltenham Road Depot which was previously operated by the former City of Dandenong. Figure 2 shows the layout of the site based on an old (1975) drawing as there did not appear to be a more recent drawing that detailed the entire site. Figure 2 also includes a number of key buildings built since that time. The current status of the eastern p& of the site in 1992 is shown Figure 3. It is also important to understand that there is some uncertainty as to the location of the western boundary of the depot as the former City of Springvale owns the land from Goodwood Drive to Springvale Road. This site is presently occupied by the H.L. Williams Hostel for the Aged. For future work the location of this boundary will require better definition. It is understood that the Council also owns the property located immediately south of the access road off Goodwood Drive. We understand that this house was at one time a Caretakers Cottage. This house was not included in the present review. 4.0 SITEMSORY The site history has been prepared by examining aerial photographs, Certificate of Title information and site drawings provided by the City of Greater Dandenong. This section summarises the findings from this investigation. Golder Associates 41 of 119 July5, 1996 -3- 956 13659/1 1 4.1 Certificate of Title Information The Certificate of Title (Appendix C) supplied by the City of Greater Dandenong only provided information in relation to the small entrance block of land of Goodwood Drive. lnformation on the main portion of the site was not readily available and was not obtained as part of the present scope of work. The Certificate of Title for site entrance indicated that: This land was Lot 27 on Plan of Subdivision No 56953 Parish of Dandenong, Volume 8414 Folio 879; The Certificate of Title was issued in relation to the subdivision on 3 June, 1963 to Goodwood Estates Proprietary Limited; William Henry Godbehere and Georgina Linda Godbehere were registered as owners as of 15 November, 1962; Liewe Steendam and- Margaret Mary Steendam were owners as of 21 February 1963; The City of Springvale was the owner as from 21 September 1972. 4.2 Review of Historical Site Layout Drawings A number of site layout drawings held by the City of Greater Dandenong were examined to provide historical information on the site development. Copies of a number of these relevant drawings are provided in Appendix D. They are reviewed below in chronological order. Drawing No B2865-2 dated 7 February 1972 (Appendix D) provides details of the site at that time and indicates that a Machinery Shed is to be constructed on the southern boundary of the site. This area was vacant prior to this construction. It should be noted that this drawing covers only the southern portion of the current site indicating that the northern part of this site may not have formed part of the Depot at that time. This is apparent when Figure 2 is compared with Drawing No B28-05-2. The Drawing No B28- 05-2 shows a boundary in the form of a cyclone wire fence immediately north of the Golder Associates 42 of 119 Julys, 1996 4 95613659/11 uExisting Shed" and 'Office'. It is understood that this shed housed the original maintenance activities. West of the proposed Machinery Shed there is a "Shade Shed" and a glass house. The Office is located to the right of the entrance to the site from Goodwood Drive. Drawing No R28-5-00, dated October 1975 provides details of all the land between Goodwood Drive and Springvale Road (Appendix D). This is the drawing that has been modifi'ed and presented as Figure 2. From Figure 2 it is clear that the western part of this land does not form part of the site being reviewed. We are particularly interested in the adjacent land as the examination of the aerial photographs, discussed below in section 4.3 indicated the presence of a gasholder. The approximate location of the gasholder is shown in Figure 2. From our experience we are aware that activities associated with gasholders can lead to land contamination on adjacent land. The drawing also indicates that the former City of Springvale owned this land as well as the council depot land. The drawing R28-5-00 also showed the entire site as well as the adjacent properties to the site. The drawing indicated that: A five meter pipeline- easement running under east west across the entire site; A Garage on the southern boundary; A glass house and covered area to the west of the Garage; Office; A mower repair shed in line with the Office. As we were concerned as to the nature of the former activities on the land immediately to the west of the site we inspected Sands and MacDougall Directories for 1956 and 1967 (Refs. 5 and 6). This showed the Gas and Fuel Corporation of Victoria to be an owner of 455 Springvale Road, Springvale in 1956 and 1967. Drawing No 116/WD1 dated March 1977 (not appended) shows a "Proposed Frail Aged Hotel" at 453457 Springvale Road, Springvale which does not fonn part of this site but is immediately to the west of the site.(See Figure 2 for clarification) The drawing shows existing levels and new cut and fill. The drawing shows the location of six test bores constructed by AS. James Pty Ltd. Golder Associates 43 of 119 July 5, 1996 -5- 95613659/11 Drawing No 116WD2 (not appended) is a complementary drawing for the "Proposed Frail Aged Hostel" This drawing shows an existing concrete slab and is annotated uExisting concrete bare slab of gasometer to be removed by proprietor prior to commencement of building works .. The diameter of the gasometer appeared to be approximately 20 m. The 5 m Gas and Fuel Corporation easement is also indicated on the drawing. These facts confirm the presence of the gasholder on the land immediately adjacent to the site and raises the possibility of gasholder wastes causing impacts on the western part of the site. Drawing No B2845-4 dated December 1977 (Appendix D) shows the same features as Drawing No R28-5-00 on the southern part of the Goodwood Road depot and indicates the proposed construction of the "Lunch Room" Drawing No B28-05-5 dated January 1984, (Appendix D) shows a proposed Workshop & Stores Building to be located north of the then existing Machinery Shed and Store which the drawing indicates will be demolished. The site inspection showed that this Workshop Stores Building in place and the Machinery Shed & Store to have been demolished. - The most recent drawing has no drawing number but is dated 19 October, 1992 (Appendix D). This drawing also forms the basis of Figure 3. This shows only the south east corner of the site. It indicates the residential property to the south of the entrance driveway is a Council owned house. It is understood that this was once a caretakers cottage. 43 Review of Aerial Photographs Aerial photographs obtained from QASCO were examined for the years 1945, 1953, January 1968, January 1974, January 1981 and April 1991. Copies of the photographs are provided in Appendix A. The 1953 aerial photograph shows the area occupied by the Goodwood Road Depot to be vacant pasture with trees along most of what is now the northern boundary. To the south are houses which are located to the north of Bailey Court. The land to the east is vacant. On the land to the west there is a cylindrical object that appears to be a gasholder. Golder Associates 44 of 119 July5, 1996 -6- 9561365911 1 The 1968 aerial photograph shows Goodwood Drive had been constructed and the housing established to the east of the site. To the north west dong Billing Street, Neale and Vardon Streets housing developments had also been completed. The site itself shows two district areas. The northern part of the site appears largely covered in trees while there appears to have been some development on the southern portion of the site. There are areas that could be tree nursery areas. What appeared to be a .. gasometer is still present to the west of the site. The 1974 aerial photograph clearly shows the Depot to be well established. The entrance is clearly visible as is the Garage (Fig 2) along the southem boundary. A glass house has been constructed as has the original workshop. The land forming the northern part of the present site has not been developed and remains covered with trees. Nursery area can be seen in the south west corner of the site. The gasometer is still present on land adjacent to and west of the site. The 1981 aerial photograph indicates considerable further development at the site. The developments includes the construction of a second glass house, a building north of the glass houses and the lunch- or staff room. The northern part of the site had been cleared and some nursery activities were evident. The only significant change is that the land to the west of the site had been redeveloped. The gasholder has been removed and buildings which we understand to be the H.L.Williams Hostel for the Aged are evident.. The most recent photograph examined was that taken in April 1991. The most significant development was the construction of the new workshop to the north of the old workshop which had been demolished. Nursery areas were apparent to the west and north of the glasshouses. 5.0 PRESENT SITE SI'ATUS An inspection of the Goodwood Road Dept was undertaken on 21 December, 1995. During the inspection the Golder Associates representative was accompanied by Ms June Emst, previously Superintendent of Parks and gardens for the former City of Springvale. Ms Ernst had been with the former City of Springvale parks and gardens area for about 1.5 years. As for the other depots the focus of the inspection was to identify areas where there Golder Associates 45 of 119 July 5, 1996 -7- 956 1365911 1 was potential for soil contamination. Relevant photographs are included in this report in Appendix B. As with the View Road Depot this depot had been vacated in late 1995 and the activities transferred to other sites within the City of Greater Dandenong. The site is set behind houses located in Goodwood Drive. The entrance is between houses (See plate 1.1). The area to the west of the wactor shed or garage (Figure 3) was indicated to be an area of potential oil contamination of soil due to vehicle wash area. Oil staining of the asphalted area can be seen in Plate 1.2. Similarly the Open Shed (Plate 1.3 and Figure 2) had drums of fuel or oil located within the building and the nature ofthe operations could have both resulted in soil contamination. The poison store and the adjacent dangerous goods storage (Figure 2) enclosures were also understood to be an area of potential soil contamination. (See Plate 1.4). The Poisons Store was of galvanised iron construction on a flat concrete base. There did not appear to be any bunding of the store but it should be recognised that the inside of the store was not inspected. The Dangerous Goods Store is a roofed and enclosed by cyclone fencing and is appropriately marked to store Class 3 materials. The Preliminary Environmental Assessment (Referenci54) indicates that neither of these stores are equipped with bunding. Also reported in the Preliminary Environmental Assessment is that lhe shed is fitted with a large sink which received any spills and where all the equipment and tools were washed in. The sink is equipped with an outlet pipe which directs all waste liquids to the outside of the building and then directly into the soil ( the end of the outlet pipe is suspended approximately IiXl mm from suflace). We would agree that these deficiencies are significant and may have lead to soil contamination in and around these buildings. The new Plant Workshop ie. the Workshop on Figure 3, was an area where mowers were stored and repaired. (Plate 1.5). There was a plumbers shop in the northeast corner of the building and a chemical store located in the south west corner. We have no details of the materials kept in this store. It is not discussed .in the Preliminary Environmental Golder Associates 46 of 119 July5, 1996 -8- 95613659/11 Assessment Report prepared by the City of Greater Dandenong. As indicated in the discussion on aerial photography the original workshop (now demolished) was located to the south of this workshop. This area could also have been contaminated by activities associated with the operations of the now demolished workshop. At the rear of the Workshop a machinery washing station had been constructed. (Plate 1.6). This was a concreted area It is not known to where this material drains or whether there is an interceptor pit treat the discharge. The general growing areas (Plate 1.7) may have been contaminated by pesticides and herbicides over the years. It was indicated during the Gpection that “Round-up” was used at the site to treat weeds. “Malathion” and “White Oil” are also understood to have been used at the site. Golder Associates believes there is a significant possibility that other more dangerous herbicides and pesticides could have been used in the past when such practices were acceptable. It is recommended that a soil testing program include soil tests for there types of materials. On the northern and centre part of the site waste garden products including concrete, rocks and paving stone were- stored. (Plate 1.8). It is considered relatively unlikely that these materials would have resulted in soil contamination. However, it is not known from where these materials came or whether they have brought contamination onto the site.”A soil stockpile was also evident in this area (Plate 1.9). We understand that “Merri Creek” soil was brought onto the site for use with cricket pitches within the former City of Spr ingvale. . An area located on the western boundary of the site, adjacent to the H.L. Williams Hostel for the Aged, (Plate 1.10) was set aside for sterilising soil used for by the nursery. Ms Emst, during the inspection, indicated that methyl bromide was the normal chemical used in this operation. From our experience we would expect that the methyl bromide which is a gas to be discharged to the atmosphere and is unlikely to result in any soil contamination. However, we understand that other chemicals may have been used in the past for soil sterilisation. These chemicals may have the potential for soil contamination and as a consequence soil sampling and analysis would be recommended for this area. Golder Associates 47 of 119 . ... July5, 1996 -9- 95613659/11 This is also the area in the north west comer of the site adjacent to a gasholder operated by the former Gas and Fuel Corporation prior to the construction of the H.L. Williams Hostel for the Aged. The ownership of the land was confirmed by inspection of Sands and MacDougal Directories of Victoria for 1956 and 1967 (Refs. 5 & 6). The address of the Gas and Fuel Corporation was given in these References as 455 Springvale Road. As a result we would recommend testing for possible gas waste products in this area of the site. The State Register of Confinned Contaminated Sites, April 1995 has been inspected and the site is not listed as a Confirmed Contaminated site. From our review of the history of the site and from our inspection of the site we believe that it is unlikely that there has been significant importation of €31 onto'the site. From our experience importation of fill can lead to soil contamination of otherwise clean soil. 6.0 PROPOSED ADDITIONAL SITE INVESIlGATIONS We understand that no soil sampling has been undertaken at this site. A number of areas of potential environmental concern should be targeted for soil sampling as well as general grid sampling over thg site. We recommend that the areas that should be targeted for soil testing are: Garage Area (Plate 1.2). The area west of the garage should be sampled for total petroleum hydrocarbons as this area was used for truck washing and there was evidence of oil stained ground. ' Poisons and Flammable Goods Store (Plate 1.4). This area has been used for storing a range of herbicides, pesticides and flammable chemicals over a number of years. In addition to metals it would be recommended that soil testing include analysis for BTEX, total petroleum hydrocarbons and organochlorines and organophosphate pesticides. Plant Workshop Areas (Plates 1.3, 1.5 and 1.6). Over the years a number of different building have been used for workshop activities that may.have lead to contamination of the soil by fuels, oil and lubricants. It is recommended that these areas be sampled / Golder Associates 48 of 119 July5, 1996 -10- 95613659/11 and tested for total petroleum hydrocarbons, BTEX and chlorinated solvents as well as a normal range of metal analytes. Nursery Areas (Plate 1.7). Several areas have been used for nursery activities on the site over the years. We understand that it is possible that a range of herbicides and weedicide could have been used over the years in these areas. In addition to the metals it would be recommended that soil testing include analysis for total petroleum hydrocarbons, organochlorines and organophosphates. Area Along Western Boundary (Plate 1.10). The areas used for soil sterilisation should be tested for methyl bromide which we understand was used for soil sterilisation over a number of years. It is also possible that other chemicals could have been used in the past for soil sterilisation. As indicated in the site history a gasometer was located immediately west of the property prior to the construction of the H. L. Williams Hostel for the Aged. As a consequence it is recommended that the soil in the area be sampled and tested for gas works waste in addition to the normal analytes. These could be expected to include ammonia, cyanide,- sulphate cyanide, BTEX, total xylene coal tar, phenolics and PAH's. Soil and Used Building Products (Plate 1.8 and 1.9). It is recommended that the soil and the areas where waste soil and building products have been stored should also be tested in case contaminated soil had been introduced to the site with these materials.

The location which showed an equivocal level of 35 ppm arsenic (cross-check 16 and 17 ppm), again showed a high level as analysed by the principal laboratory (40 and 46 ppm). The fill at location 35 comprises crushed-rock to a depth of 250mm and it is a surface sample of this which presented the isolated high arsenic result. Below the fill, brick-batts were present from 250mm to 300mm, underlain by natural black sandy soil. A sample of the latter collected from 300 to 400mm deep, analysed 9 ppm arsenic. All other metals results obtained are below environmental investigation levels. Whilst we are now satisfied that the result at the location of sample 35 is an isolated one, the anomaly between laboratories when the sample was first analysed, has caused us to seek yet a further laboratory cross-check on that sample. This result is allowed for in the attached report but is not available until the morning. It should be noted that when the principal laboratory provided samples for cross-checking purposes, it selected aliquots of the samples provided by us and retained the balance of sample, It is therefore possible though laboratory procedures should prevent this, that the cross-check sample 35 is not representative of the whole sample. In addition as requested, we also enclose herewith a letter from the City of Greater Dandenong dated 4th December 1996, engaging your services and a copy of the site Title Drawing No PS 4020385 as requested.

As well as sampling and analysing as previously discussed, we have sampled and analysed in two additional locations. Sample point 35 is located near to the south-eastern site boundary and was selected in an attempt to reflect prior bunker storage in that location. Sample point 33 was selected once we realised that the 06Sep96 diagram location of prior sample point 11 was incorrect. The attached diagram shows sample point 11 correctly located and sample point 33 was selected to fill the void left by the relocated sample point 11. As you will observe, all results except for some metal levels in sample 35, are either nil detected or levels of little concern, thereby bearing out the indication of the first assessment as to the cleanliness of the site. Sample 35 shows high levels of arsenic, chromium and nickel as analysed by the principal laboratory (MGT Environmental) and high levels of chromium and zinc as analysed by the cross-check laboratory (Sharp and Howells). Variation in results for this sample are considerable between laboratories and between the two methods used by the cross-check laboratory. Only chromium is consistently high. Whilst this level is above the ANZECC/NH&MRC 1992 guidelines environmental investigation level, it is within the background level specified by the same source. We therefore consider that together with all of the other metals results obtained, this one sample is not a significant indicator of pollution of the site. Your views would be appreciated. Notwithstanding the interesting results from location 35, we look forward to final report and certificate of audit issue as soon as possible. If you believe it wise for us to sample further near to location 35, we would undertake to do so quickly in order to avoid delaying certificate issue. Attached also are copies of NATA reports for the two sets of analytical results obtained. Thank you.
