Binary Remediation Updates - 4th June 2007
Weekly update
Monday 4 June 2007 to Friday 8 June 2007
To keep local residents, businesses, media and other interested parties fully informed of the remediation of the Narangba Industrial Estate, the department is publishing a weekly update.
The current soil remediation activities are part of the department's ongoing cleanup and remediation works on State and local government-owned land adjacent to the Binary factory site.
A summary of progress and site conditions between Monday 4 June 2007 and Friday 8 June 2007 is provided below:
- The remediation site received 70 mm of rainfall this week;
- Work done on the remediation site was restricted due to wet weather;
- The department continues to treat contaminated stormwater collected on the site using the specially constructed treatment pond on the project site. The treated water is being discharged to the Caboolture Shire Council sewer at a rate of 100,000 litres a day;
- The department inspected stormwater containment systems on Wednesday 6 June 2007 at the remediation site to ensure there was no potential for the release of contaminated water and there is no evidence that any contaminated water was released;
- The recent rainfall has assisted the establishment of the grass being used to stabilise the remediated ponds.
The department has been supervising all works conducted on the site.
Anyone with concerns about odour, soil or water contamination from the Narangba Industrial Estate is advised to contact the department hotline on 1300 130 372.
