• DSI soil sampling – involving an additional 65 test pit or transect locations that met the intent and
sample location allowances of the SAQP, as follows:
- 35 grid locations across the entire 3.537ha site to build on the 11 PSI locations and comprise the
minimum 46 systematic sampling locations required by NEPM and NSW EPA Contaminated
Land Guidelines, Sampling design part 1 – application, August 2022 (NSW EPA 2022) for a site
of this size (being 45 samples for a 3.5ha site and 50 samples for a 4ha site)
- 17 grid infill locations at AEC 2 to double the grid sampling density for asbestos assessment and
to assist with delineating wastes within this area, to meet the requirements of NEPM Schedule B2
and Guidelines for the Assessment, Remediation and Management of Asbestos Contaminated
Sites in Western Australia, 2011 (WA 2021). This was based on PSI observations and Tables 4
and 5 in WA 2021, with asbestos likely (some isolated asbestos found and landfill present) the
corresponding sampling density required (for surface and at depth) is double that recommended
by AS 4482.15
- the deferred 6 sampling locations to the south of the site as discussed in SAQP Section 9.2.1
(other adjustments for initial DSI sampling) were not required to be completed for the purposes of
asbestos assessment, due to no relevant wastes being identified over this area
- 13 targeted locations over AEC 1 where asbestos has not been identified to date, to assist with
delineating night soil deposits and assessing risk associated with historical structures at the
north-east site corner and a reported toilet can burial area
- 4 of the above test pits (being TP7, TP27, TP38 and TP76) were expanded into various 90
degree offset transects or similar arrangements to assist with waste delineation
- soil sampling was not undertaken during the installation of the groundwater or LFG monitoring
bores, however, these locations were logged and provide an additional 11 locations of noted soil
conditions, albeit via drilling works that provide less information regarding potential buried wastes
- location TP70 was required to be installed just off-site to the west, due to the presence of
structures and buried domestic water pipes
- where wastes were encountered, field observations indicate that all sampling locations continued
into underlying natural soils.
Soil and other sampling locations are shown on Drawing 1 (Appendix A).
6.2.2. SOIL SAMPLING PROCEDURE
In accordance with NEPM Schedule 2 Section 11.1 and SAQP Section 9.2.2 the SQP was present during
all soil sampling works and has demonstrated competence in contaminated land investigations including
asbestos assessment. Sample collection methodology comprised:
• Asbestos 7mm field sieving of a 10L sample was undertaken at all locations of suspected potential
asbestos impact (being any locations where wastes were observed) to progress identification of the
presence and form of any asbestos, being potential Asbestos Fines (AF), Fibrous Asbestos (FA) or
Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM).

The guidance downloaded from https://www.health.wa.gov.au/~/media/Files/Corporate/general-documents/Asbestos/PDF/14020-
Asbestos-Contaminated-Sites-WA-Guidelines-Chapter-5.pdf refers to AS 4485.1 (security for healthcare facilities) in Table 5 and
is assumed to be a referencing error to AS 4482.1 Guide to the Investigation and Sampling of Potentially Contaminated Soil –
Non-Volatile and Semi-Volatile Compounds. Note that AS 4482.1 is no longer supported by AS, with similar minimum sampling
densities provided by the relevant NSW EPA 2022 guidance (in the absence of comparable Qld guidance).
