The Application Site (the site)
The site comprises approximately 185 hectares of previously developed land at the former
Stanton Ironworks. The area is dominated by industrial uses including manufacturing buildings.
The two largest buildings on site were the Hallam Plant (now demolished) and the existing
Stanhope Plant. Storage and stockpiling areas associated with Saint-Gobain PAM UK Ltd’s
pipeline business have co-existed with manufacturing. Additional uses on the site consist of a
range of general industry, manufacturing and ancillary uses. Significant areas of the site now lay
unused.
The site is located within the Erewash Valley between Nottingham and Derby and is situated
approximately 1km to the south of Ilkeston and 0.5km to the north of Stanton-by-Dale. It is
accessed by a number of roads, which provide linkages to the strategic highway, namely the
A50, A52 and M1. The M1 motorway is located to the east of the Site. There is no direct access
between the site and the motorway.
Proposed Development
The opportunity to redevelop the Site has arisen following Saint-Gobain PAM UK Ltd’s decision
to cease their manufacturing business in this location. They will be retaining their administration
head quarters. In conjunction with Erewash Borough Council, statutory and non-statutory
stakeholder and local communities, they have worked together for the past five years to prepare
a new mixed use neighbourhood development – ‘New Stanton’.
Built development comprises the following:
• Mixed use neighbourhood centre – including retail, restaurants, cafe/bar/hotel uses, and
community facilities;
• Provision of 1,950 residential units;
• 150 bed accommodation for the elderly within a care village environment;
• Employment uses (Class B1, B2 and B8):
o Up to 20,000m2 of B1 employment uses;
o Up to 50,000m2 of B2 and B8 employment uses; and
• A new primary school;
• GP/Health Centre;
• Areas of formal sports pitches and open space;
• Infrastructure;
• Allotments; and
• Community Plaza.
This is an outline application with all matters reserved for subsequent approval, except for
access. However, in order to enable a proper consideration of the issues the application raises,
the parameter plans are submitted to clearly define the limitations to the extent of development
proposed and to enable Erewash Borough Council to exercise control over any planning
permissions granted. The masterplan submitted is an indicative illustration of how the parameter
plans might be interpreted, its purpose is to guide an understanding in this respect.
Saint Gobain PAM UK Ltd 1 Outline Options Appraisal and Remedial Strategy: Former Stanton Ironworks Project no. 300268-8(01)
1 INTRODUCTION RSK STATS Geoconsult Limited (RSK) was commissioned by Saint-Gobain PAM UK Limited (Saint-Gobain) to carry out a preliminary assessment of the land at the Former Stanton Ironworks. This assessment was carried out to support an Environmental Statement as part of an outline planning application for the proposed development of the Stanton Saint-Gobain complex. Specifically, RSK was commissioned to undertake preliminary site investigation for both environmental and geotechnical purposes and subsequently to develop an outline options appraisal and remediation strategy. This document provides the outline remedial options appraisal and remediation strategy that demonstrates it is feasible to develop the Former Stanton Ironworks for the proposed end-use as detailed in the Masterplan. In line with normal practice for an outline planning application, at this stage the outline remediation strategy has been developed taking into account the preliminary investigations undertaken to date. The scope of investigation was discussed and agreed with the local authority and Environment Agency before intrusive works commenced. Subsequently, the preliminary geo-environmental reports for each zone and the controlled waters risk assessment report (listed in Section 1.1) were submitted to the regulators who agreed with the conclusions reached. The principles for this outline remedial strategy are based on the aforementioned reports and widely accepted as appropriate for the site setting and proposed end-uses. This options appraisal and remedial strategy report together with the geo-environmental zoned reports and controlled waters risk assessment and proposed layout will be used in the future as the basis for designing further investigation works to support detailed planning permission. A remedial strategy for each development phase will then be prepared following source delineation encompassing different development phases if appropriate, for example remediation of groundwater or cross boundary issues. Comments in this report are subject to RSK service constraints in Appendix A.
1.1 Project Background
This report is based on the findings of the Preliminary Risk Assessment and preliminary investigative works undertaken where risks were identified to human health and the water environment. This report should therefore be read in conjunction with the following documents:

It should be noted that further stages of detailed investigation are proposed following the gaining of outline planning consent to provide further confidence in the results obtained to date, complete data gaps and to delineate source areas to assist in assessing remedial options that may be suitable at the site. The details of the proposed works using the relevant layout at that time, can be found within the following document. The proposed layout has since changed and thus the proposed works may need alteration.

1.2 Scope of Works
This outline remedial options appraisal has been undertaken in line with current UK guidance, Model Procedures for the Management of Land Contamination, CLR11 (Environment Agency 2004a). The options appraisal comprises:
• remediation scheme objectives
Saint Gobain PAM UK Ltd 3 Outline Options Appraisal and Remedial Strategy: Former Stanton Ironworks Project no. 300268-8(01)
• options identification and evaluation
• remediation strategy formulation
An options appraisal was completed by RSK to identify the best practicable solution for the remediation of soils and groundwater at the site based on the level of detail of the investigations undertaken as appropriate to support an outline planning application. . . The identification of remedial options and evaluation of their suitability in the context of this site is based on RSK’s experience remediating sites with similar contaminant linkages.
1.3 Report structure
Section 2 provides the site setting and proposed development plans. The contaminant linkages that have been identified as requiring remedial options are detailed within Section 3 and the site wide Outline Remedial Strategy is detailed within Section 4.

2 SITE SETTING This section summarises the site location, description and summary of published geological, hydrogeological and hydrological conditions. This information has been taken from the Preliminary Risk Assessment report, dated April 2010, 131027-5(01) by RSK, which should be consulted if further detail is required.
2.1 Site Location
The site lies in the area of New Stanton to the north and south of Lowes Lane, National Grid reference SK 469390. The site is located approximately 800m north of the village of Stanton-by-Dale and approximately 3.5km to the south of Ilkeston town centre, the site is in an edge of settlement setting with an area of industry located to the north. A site location plan is presented as Figure 1.
2.2 Site Description
The site occupies approximately 185ha and currently comprises an operational Saint-Gobain pipeline manufacturing, storage and distribution facility, including areas leased for light commercial/industrial use, a large concrete production and storage facility operated by Stanton Bonna and the cleared Hallam Plant (a former foundry, recently demolished). At the time of the RSK intrusive investigation’s (2010), the extent of the studies included areas that are now outside the application boundary, which was altered during the process of masterplanning. The site lies at an elevation of around 60m above Ordnance Datum (AOD) at the southern boundary, falling gently to the north to around 45m AOD at the northern boundary. The site was zoned by RSK during production of the PRA based on former land uses. The zones are:
• Zone A – Grove Farm Tip and agricultural land • Zone B – Stanton Bonna Concrete works, two substations, hardstanding and
disused land • Zone C – Former Stanhope plant (former foundry), reservoir, areas used for
storage and auxillary buildings including offices, a nursery and air raid shelters • Zone D – Hallam Plant (former foundry) • Zone E – Open ground, Chadwicks pond and Nutbrook canal • Zone F – Flange plant, Old tip and Nutbrook canal

3 CONTAMINANT LINKAGES A preliminary geo-environmental site assessment was undertaken as part of the outline planning process. This included the development of a conceptual model and identified the potentially viable contaminant linkages that might warrant remediation. These linkages form the basis of the remedial options considered technically viable.
The tables within Appendix B provide the contaminant linkages for which remediation
measures may be required (subject to further investigation and/or risk assessment) in
each zone. This section provides a site wide summary of the contaminant linkages
present. These are:
1. Direct contact with soil impacted by various contaminants including heavy
metals, polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), petroleum hydrocarbons
(TPH) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) by future onsite users of
open space areas, residents and workers plus adjacent users
2. Ingestion of homegrown fruit and vegetables by future residents that may
be impacted by the contaminants listed in the table in Appendix B
3. Ground and soil gas migration and accumulation within future onsite
residential and commercial properties plus adjacent users potentially
giving rise to explosive conditions and/or inhalation by building occupants
adversely impacting human health
4. Direct contact with soil impacted by the contaminants listed in the table
appended by construction workers and adjacent users during the
development
5. Ground and soil gas migration and accumulation within excavations such
as service trenches giving rise to explosive conditions and/or inhalation by
construction workers during development and subsequently by
maintenance workers impacting human health
6. Leaching of contaminants listed in the appended table from soil to the
water environment (groundwater in Coal Measures and ultimately surface
Saint Gobain PAM UK Ltd 7 Outline Options Appraisal and Remedial Strategy: Former Stanton Ironworks Project no. 300268-8(01)
water receptors including Nutbrook canal, the Nutbrook, ponds, Erewash
canal and River Erewash)
7. Percolation of perched water impacted by the contaminants in the
appended table to underlying Coal Measures (a Secondary A aquifer)
where superficial deposits are absent or through preferential pathways
such as the shafts
8. Lateral migration of contaminants within the Coal Measures aquifer to the
wider aquifer body
9. Silt run off to drainage and surface water receptors during the
groundwork’s stage of construction
10. Permeation of plastic utilities by volatile organic compounds affecting the
water supply and ultimately future residents or workers

4 REMEDIAL OBJECTIVES
The following sections detail the remedial objectives for the protection of human health, controlled water’s and the built environment.
4.1 Protection of human health
Remedial objectives related to human health are established to provide short-term protection to workers, the public and adjacent completed phases during redevelopment works, and long-term protection to the end-users of the completed development. These relate to protection from contact with contaminants, the possible effect of ground gases, utility services and those responsible for their maintenance.
4.2 Protection of controlled waters
Remedial objectives are to mitigate risks to controlled waters via the soil leaching of impacted material and currently impacted groundwater and subsequent migration to surface watercourse receptors.

5 REVIEW OF REMEDIAL OPTIONS
The following remediation methods may be appropriate to mitigate risks from the contaminant linkages identified at the site:
Simple cover system – placement of clean validated material over contaminated soils to render gardens, public open space and landscaping to be suitable use
Capping – installation of an impermeable layer across the site to manage infiltration. The layer typically comprises a capillary break, which prevents subsurface water build up and an overlying compacted clay layer. Depending upon the nature of contamination this system can be used on heavily contaminated sites where a cover system would not be appropriate Lateral containment – installation of an impermeable barrier (wall) of either bentonite and or cement, possibly including a geomembrane cut-off, into an aquifer. The wall is typically keyed into an underlying impermeable layer such as clay. Walls can extend either across the down gradient plume or around the total plume. Solidification/stabilisation – hydrocarbons/metals are immobilised and bound using either a cement, lime or clay stabilisation additive that creates a soils and/or stable matrix to bind the contaminants. The additive can be mixed into the soils using either a batching plant or by in situ mixing Soil washing – soil washing is an established technique for dealing with contaminated soil. Soils washing processes vary from the relatively simple involving a few particle separation processes, to those, which are more sophisticated and involve many more processes. Laboratory treatability test are required in order to ascertain likely application and the types of soil washing processes required, soil washing is most effective for sandy soils. Landfill disposal – bulk excavation, pre-treatment and off-site disposal of contaminated soils at a licensed landfill facility Ex situ bioremediation – including windrow turning (aeration of soil in windrows, possibly including the mixing of fertiliser and/or woodchip/compost to improve the biodegradability and structure during tilling) and biopiles (static heaps with built in pumped aeration)
Saint Gobain PAM UK Ltd 10 Outline Options Appraisal and Remedial Strategy: Former Stanton Ironworks Project no. 300268-8(01)
In situ bioventing – uses soil vapour extraction technology to increase biodegradation within impacted ground. A series of wells are installed within the contaminated areas and airflow in the ground created by vacuum pumps In situ enhanced bioremediation – the addition of nutrients, oxygen releasing compounds or micro organisms that can metabolise specific compounds thus initiating or accelerating biodegradation. The process is undertaken through injection into boreholes within the treatment zone. Laboratory feasibility work is recommended before undertaking enhanced bioremediation In situ chemical oxidation/ reduction – an oxidant (for example, Fenton’s reagent or potassium permanganate) is injected into the target zone, fully oxidising the contaminants. The oxidant requires selection for the specific contaminant and soil conditions. The process is controlled hydraulically to maximise the radius of influence. The breakdown/end products can be recovered under vacuum where necessary. This process can be rapid and very powerful for particular contaminants. Soil vapour extraction – volatile vapours within the unsaturated ground are recovered under vacuum through vertical or horizontal wells. Recovered volatiles are treated at the surface using activated carbon and/or thermal/catalytic oxidation. In situ dual-phase/multi-phase extraction – dual/multi-phase extraction uses high vacuum (600–800 bar) recovery of vapours, free product and groundwater. The vacuum is applied through lances installed at the interface thus inducing powerful vacuum gradients across the target area. Recovered contaminants are separated at surface before disposal or treatment. Pump and treat – either surface mounted or borehole pumps are installed within the contaminated zone to abstract contaminated groundwater. Recovered groundwater is subsequently fed through an ex situ treatment plant. This process can require an extended timescale and pump and treat is therefore best employed as a means of enhancing other treatment technology. Passive in ground venting system – either a physical or permeable barrier to enable a preferential pathway to atmosphere for ground gases. Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) - Monitored natural attenuation (MNA) is the reduction of contaminants in soil and groundwater through natural, physical, chemical or biological processes. It relies on the ground conditions supporting anaerobic and aerobic biodegradation over a long period of time. It is very cost effective as no physical remediation technology is used, regular groundwater sampling with laboratory analysis
Saint Gobain PAM UK Ltd 11 Outline Options Appraisal and Remedial Strategy: Former Stanton Ironworks Project no. 300268-8(01)
for nitrate, sulphate, dissolved Iron, carbon dioxide, methane and oxygen instead is used to monitor its success over many years.
5.1 Appraisal of options
The options available to mitigate the risk associated with each contaminant linkage are presented in Appendix B.
Saint Gobain PAM UK Ltd 12 Outline Options Appraisal and Remedial Strategy: Former Stanton Ironworks Project no. 300268-8(01)
6 OUTLINE REMEDIAL STRATEGY
The remedial strategy is likely to consist of a number of discrete elements, some of which will be carried out as advance works and some of which will be integrated with development works. The mitigation measures appropriate to each contaminant linkage within each zone are presented in Appendix B. These are summarised below for the site wide linkages presented in section 3.
6.1 Linkage 1 – Direct contact with soil by future onsite users
Consistent with the preliminary geo-environmental zoned investigations listed in Section 1.1, the provision of a capping layer system in gardens and areas of soft landscaping is proposed to mitigate risks via the direct contact pathway.
The “simple cover system” will likely comprise of a suitable growth-supporting medium with a nominal thickness of 0.6m consisting of a minimum of 0.15m topsoil and 0.45m subsoil.
6.2 Linkage 2 – Ingestion of homegrown fruit and vegetables by future residents
This contaminant linkage would also be mitigated by the cover system proposed for linkage 1.
6.3 Linkage 3 – Ground gas and vapour migration and accumulation
A preliminary ground gas assessment was undertaken using current guidance from CIRIA, NHBC and BRE. Elevated concentrations of methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and carbon monoxide were recorded at the site.
Based on the site concentrations of ground gases (carbon dioxide and methane) and flows, the assessment recommended gas protection measures suitable for an NHBC Amber 2 scenario to be incorporated within the ground floor slab construction of low-rise residential dwellings. For other residential buildings and for commercial properties mitigation measures in accordance with CIRIA Characteristic Situation 2 are recommended.
In addition, where required gas membranes may need to inhibit VOC migration to mitigate risks from the inhalation (indoor air) pathway.
6.4 Linkage 4 – Direct contact with soil by humans during construction
Saint Gobain PAM UK Ltd 13 Outline Options Appraisal and Remedial Strategy: Former Stanton Ironworks Project no. 300268-8(01)
This contaminant linkage would be mitigated through the development process under the CDM regulations and by use of appropriate PPE.
6.5 Linkage 5 – Ground and soil gas accumulation in excavations during construction
This contaminant linkage would be mitigated as for linkage 4.
6.6 Linkage 6 – Leaching of contaminants to the water environment
This contaminant linkage could be mitigated by a combination of various in situ and ex situ methods, stabilisation techniques (heavy metals) bioremediation (hydrocarbons) as appropriate following source delineation and quantitative risk assessment.
6.7 Linkage 7 – Percolation of perched water to underlying Coal Measures
This contaminant linkage would be mitigated through treatment of the perched water through an in-situ pump and treat method and/or a capping and water management system as appropriate following source delineation and quantitative risk assessment.
6.8 Linkage 8 - Lateral migration of contaminants in the Coal Measures
It is envisaged that remediation of groundwater quality already present within the Coal Measures would not be necessary after quantitative risk assessment.
6.9 Linkage 9 - Silt run off to drainage and surface water receptors
This linkage would be mitigated by appropriate site management during remedial and construction works including consideration of placement of stockpiles of materials in relation to receptors, protection of drainage with straw and terram or similar.
6.10 Linkage 10 – Permeation of plastic utilities by volatile organic compounds
This linkage would be mitigated by provision of appropriate contaminant resistant supply pipe.
Saint Gobain PAM UK Ltd 14 Outline Options Appraisal and Remedial Strategy: Former Stanton Ironworks Project no. 300268-8(01)
6.11 Geotechnical Issues
The principle requirement for remediation is to deal with risks posed by contaminants. However some of the potential remediation methods can also be used to process geotechnically unacceptable materials without incurring significant additional complexity or costs. Consequently, it is recommended to integrate the geotechnical and contaminant remediation.
The geotechnical remediation will generally involve the excavation of made ground and natural soils as part of the re-grade exercise. This will allow identification and removal/ processing of unsuitable materials and replacement of processed soils as a suitable engineered fill providing it meets with the CL:AIRE Code of Practice.
6.12 Investigation and treatment of mineshafts and shallow workings
Findings of desk based studies into the presence of mineshafts and shallow mineworking’s informed the masterplan design, i.e. amending the masterplan such that known shaft locations will be situated under roads or open space rather than individual properties. Intrusive investigation of the mineshafts and shallow mine workings is yet to be undertaken. Detailed investigation will be required under licence from the Coal Authority and will include:
• Drilling to locate the known shafts
• Investigation to determine the depth and extent of the shallow workings
Following this investigation, any workings and/or shafts in locations or at depths identified as potentially adversely affecting the development will require treatment to enable the proposed development to proceed.
The treatment of shafts may include filling and grouting and/or capping. Treatment of shallow workings may include grouting beneath the footprints of proposed buildings. Where coal outcrops in a development area, it may be removed to an appropriate depth to remove combustibility risks.
6.13 Dealing with Unforeseen Conditions
It is likely that during site redevelopment, areas of contaminant-impacted material may be identified that were unforeseen even after more detailed site investigation. Therefore, the following procedure is suggested in the event that additional contamination, currently unforeseen, is encountered or inferred from the monitoring of the remediation works:
Saint Gobain PAM UK Ltd 15 Outline Options Appraisal and Remedial Strategy: Former Stanton Ironworks Project no. 300268-8(01)
• Inform relevant parties and agree course of action
• Identify contaminant source
• Identify any physical or operational constraints affecting delineation
• Delineate additional impact
• Review quantitative risk assessment to conceptualise the source and quantify risks with newly identified source
• Prepare addendum to remedial strategy and verification plan and agree with regulatory authorities
6.14 Regulatory Requirements
RSK has communicated regularly with Erewash Borough Council and the Environment Agency to discuss and agree the scope and findings of the preliminary investigative and risk assessment works undertaken by RSK to date. This regular consultation will continue through the detailed investigation, remediation period, verification and closure reporting.
6.15 Further works
At this outline stage, the remediation objectives have yet to be translated into specific remediation criteria or targets. However, the objectives and mitigation measures identified are widely accepted for this type of site setting and proposed end-use. Once development phases are defined, the remedial strategy will be reviewed to optimise material re-use with respect to quantities of material. Upon completion of any required source delineation and quantitative risk assessment the suitability of the material proposed for re-use can also be assessed. A material management plan will then be prepared demonstrating the quantities of material suitable for re-use in different remedial areas and, where necessary, what remedial works are required.
Remediation will be undertaken such that each phase is suitable for its proposed end use (as outlined in section 2.3.5). The decisions on whether an area is suitable for its proposed use will be based on a risk assessment approach as agreed with Erewash Borough Council and the Environment Agency.
The required standard of remediation will be achieved through a variety of techniques as outlined in previous sections. The implementation and verification of the remediation strategy will be in accordance with documented quality assurance procedures and will include the following;
Verification Plan – This document sets out the requirements for gathering data to demonstrate the effectiveness of the remediation in terms of meeting the remediation requirements. A verification plan will be submitted as part of a detailed remediation strategy produced following further detailed investigation and delineation. The verification
Saint Gobain PAM UK Ltd 16 Outline Options Appraisal and Remedial Strategy: Former Stanton Ironworks Project no. 300268-8(01)
plan will be finalised and agreed with the local authority prior to implementation of the works.
Mobile Treatment Licence – A Mobile Treatment Licence may be required for the proposed remedial activities, the contractors involved in undertaking the remedial works will need to hold a relevant licence for the proposed activities and have this approved by the Environment Agency for the remediation proposed at the Stanton Site.
Materials Management Plan - Management of re-use of soils will be carried out following the procedure outlined in The Definition of Waste: Development Industry Code of Practice (DOWCOP) (CL:AIRE, 2008; Environment Agency, 2008). The MMP will provide the quantified site wide mass balance and identify, with reference to the planning consent for the development, the certainty of use for the material that is to be re-used. For each material movement, a risk assessment will be presented, appropriate to the material property, that confirms its suitability with respect to chemical and engineering properties, together with any limitations on final deposition. Demonstrating the quantity of material for re-use, certainty of re-use and suitability for use are key elements that need to be demonstrated when using the CL:AIRE Code of Practice.
Verification Report – this will provide a complete record of the remediation activities on the site and the data collected as part of the verification plan to support compliance with remediation objectives and criteria. It will also include details of the works undertaken, unforeseen conditions and how they were dealt with. In view of the size of the Stanton project, verification reports will be submitted to cover individual development phases to allow for the phased release of land and development to progress in accordance with its phasing requirements.

APPENDIX A SERVICE CONSTRAINTS
RSK ENVIRONMENT LIMITED SERVICE CONSTRAINTS 1. This report and the site investigation carried out in connection with the report (together the "Services") were compiled and carried out
by RSK Environment Limited (RSK) for Saint -Gobain PAM UK Ltd (the "client") in accordance with the terms of a contract between RSK and the "client", dated January 2010.. The Services were performed by RSK with the skill and care ordinarily exercised by a reasonable environmental consultant at the time the Services were performed. Further, and in particular, the Services were performed by RSK taking into account the limits of the scope of works required by the client, the time scale involved and the resources, including financial and manpower resources, agreed between RSK and the client.
2. Other than that expressly contained in paragraph 1 above, RSK provides no other representation or warranty whether express or implied, in relation to the Services.
3. Unless otherwise agreed the Services were performed by RSK exclusively for the purposes of the client. RSK is not aware of any interest of or reliance by any party other than the client in or on the Services. Unless expressly provided in writing, RSK does not authorise, consent or condone any party other than the client relying upon the Services. Should this report or any part of this report, or otherwise details of the Services or any part of the Services be made known to any such party, and such party relies thereon that party does so wholly at its own and sole risk and RSK disclaims any liability to such parties. Any such party would be well advised to seek independent advice from a competent environmental consultant and/or lawyer.
4. It is RSK's understanding that this report is to be used for the purpose described in the introduction to the report. That purpose was a significant factor in determining the scope and level of the Services. Should the purpose for which the report is used, or the proposed use of the site change, this report may no longer be valid and any further use of or reliance upon the report in those circumstances by the client without RSK 's review and advice shall be at the client's sole and own risk. Should RSK be requested to review the report after the date hereof, RSK shall be entitled to additional payment at the then existing rates or such other terms as agreed between RSK and the client.
5. The passage of time may result in changes in site conditions, regulatory or other legal provisions, technology or economic conditions which could render the report inaccurate or unreliable. The information and conclusions contained in this report should not be relied upon in the future without the written advice of RSK. In the absence of such written advice of RSK, reliance on the report in the future shall be at the client's own and sole risk. Should RSK be requested to review the report in the future, RSK shall be entitled to additional payment at the then existing rate or such other terms as may be agreed between RSK and the client.
6. The observations and conclusions described in this report are based solely upon the Services which were provided pursuant to the agreement between the client and RSK. RSK has not performed any observations, investigations, studies or testing not specifically set out or required by the contract between the client and RSK. RSK is not liable for the existence of any condition, the discovery of which would require performance of services not otherwise contained in the Services. For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise expressly referred to in the introduction to this report, RSK did not seek to evaluate the presence on or off the site of asbestos, electromagnetic fields, lead paint, heavy metals, radon gas or other radioactive or hazardous materials.
7. The Services are based upon RSK's observations of existing physical conditions at the Site gained from a walk-over survey of the site together with RSK's interpretation of information including documentation, obtained from third parties and from the client on the history and usage of the site. The Services are also based on information and/or analysis provided by independent testing and information services or laboratories upon which RSK was reasonably entitled to rely. The Services clearly are limited by the accuracy of the information, including documentation, reviewed by RSK and the observations possible at the time of the walk-over survey. Further RSK was not authorised and did not attempt to independently verify the accuracy or completeness of information, documentation or materials received from the client or third parties, including laboratories and information services, during the performance of the Services. RSK is not liable for any inaccurate information or conclusions, the discovery of which inaccuracies required the doing of any act including the gathering of any information which was not reasonably available to RSK and including the doing of any independent investigation of the information provided to RSK save as otherwise provided in the terms of the contract between the client and RSK.
8. The phase II or intrusive environmental site investigation aspects of the Services is a limited sampling of the site at pre-determined borehole and soil vapour locations based on the operational configuration of the site. The conclusions given in this report are based on information gathered at the specific test locations and can only be extrapolated to an undefined limited area around those locations. The extent of the limited area depends on the soil and groundwater conditions, together with the position of any current structures and underground facilities and natural and other activities on site. In addition chemical analysis was carried out for a limited number of parameters [as stipulated in the contract between the client and RSK] [based on an understanding of the available operational and historical information,] and it should not be inferred that other chemical species are not present.
9. Any site drawing(s) provided in this report is (are) not meant to be an accurate base plan, but is (are) used to present the general relative locations of features on, and surrounding, the site.
