Following a diesel spill at an operational police station, Lustre Consulting was appointed to carry out an initial Site Investigation to determine the extent and impact of the spill. The investigation utilised a windowless sampling drilling rig to address access constraints, including the drilling of one borehole inside a dog kennel. The soil testing and groundwater monitoring confirmed that the spill had impacted the underlying soils and shallow aquifer.
Following a remedial options appraisal and liaison with the Environment Agency, the clean-up operation commenced. The remediation comprised a combination of small scale purging/ skimming, insitu bioremediation (Oxygen Release Compound and RegenOx PetroCleanze supplied by Regenesis) and rounds of vacuum extraction.
Lustre Consulting carried out verification monitoring throughout the works, with the final sampling round undertaken mid-2015. A Closure Report was subsequently prepared, providing evidence of the effective reduction in dissolved and free phase contamination, providing a significant betterment of the aquifer underlying the site.
What is a Noise Assessment? A Noise Assessment will determine whether any prevailing noise sources could be affecting your site or whether any adverse noise sources could be introduced, and if those noise sources could have an adverse impact on future site users, or off-site noise sensitive receptors. If the Noise Assessment finds that the […]

What is a Flood Risk Assessment? A Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) will determine the flood risk to a site from multiple sources. It is usual for a FRA to assess the flood risk from rivers, sea, surface water, sewers or groundwater. The level of risk is in part determined by future site users and/or sensitive […]

What is an Air Quality Mitigation Statement? An Air Quality Mitigation Statement qualitatively assesses the air quality impact to future site users and/or local receptors and whether any mitigation measures could be required. Why is an Air Quality Mitigation Statement needed for this site? The Institute of Air Quality Management (IAQM) and Environmental Protection UK […]

What is a Phase 1 Desk Study? A Phase 1 Desk will determine if contamination could be present at your site, and importantly, if that contamination poses a risk to future site users or the environment. Why is a Phase 1 Desk Study needed for this site? If the Desk Study finds that the level […]
