INFORMATION REGARDING ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT REPORTS August 2007
VICTORIA'S AUDIT SYSTEM An environmental audit system has operated in Victoria since 1989. The Environmenf Profecfion Acf 1970 (the Act) provides for the appointment by the Environment Protection Authority (EPA Victoria) of environmental auditors and the conduct of independent, high quality and rigorous environmental audits.
An environmental audit is an assessment of the condition of the environment, or the nature and extent of harm (or risk of harm) posed by an industrial process or activity, waste, substance or noise. Environmental audit reports are prepared by EPA- appointed environmental auditors who are highly qualified and skilled individuals.
Under the Act, the function of an environmental auditor is t o conduct environmental audits and prepare environmental audit reports. Where an environmental audit is conducted to determine the condition of a site or its suitability for certain uses, an environmental auditor may issue either a certificate or statement of environmental audit.
A certificate indicates that the auditor is of the opinion that the site is suitable for any beneficial use defined in the Act, whilst a statement indicates that there is some restriction on the use of the site.
Any individual or organisation may engage appointed environmental auditors, who generally operate within the environmental consulting sector, t o undertake environmental audits. The EPA administers the environmental audit system and ensures its ongoing integrity by assessing auditor applications and ensuring audits are independent and conducted with regard t o guidelines issued by EPA.
AUDIT FILES STRUCTURE Environmental audit reports are stored digitally by EPA in three parts: the audit report (part A), report appendices (part B) and, where applicable, the certificate or statement of environmental audit and an executive summary (part C). A report may be in colour and black-and-white formats. Generally, only black- and-white documents are text searchable.
Report executive summaries, findings and recommendations should be read and relied upon only in the context of the document as a whole, including any appendices and, where applicable, any certificate or statement of environmental audit.
AUDIT REPORT CURRENCY Audit reports are based on the conditions encountered and information reviewed at the time of preparation and do not represent any changes that may have occurred since the date of completion. As i t is not possible for an audit t o present all data that could be of interest t o all readers, consideration should be made to any appendices or referenced documentation for further information.
When information regarding the condition of a site changes from that at the time an audit report is issued, or where an administrative or computation error is identified, environmental audit reports, certificates and statements may be withdrawn or amended by an environmental auditor. Users are advised t o check EPA's website to ensure the currency of the audit document.
PDF SEARCHABILITY AND PRINTING EPA Victoria can only certify the accuracy and correctness of the audit report and appendices as presented in the hardcopy format. EPA is not responsible for any issues that arise due to problems with PDF files or printing.
Except where PDF normal format is specified, PDF files are scanned and optical character recognised by machine only. Accordingly, while the images are consistent with the scanned original, the searchable hidden text may contain uncorrected recognition errors that can reduce search reliability. Therefore, keyword searches undertaken within the document may not retrieve all references to the queried text.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Golder Associates Pty. Ltd. has carried out a contamination assessment of the Massey
Ferguson Plant Site in Sunshine, Victoria.
The site is bounded by Devonshire Road, Hampshire Road, Ballarat Road and Anderson
Road. It has a total area of approximately 24 hectares and is made up of Lots 1? 2, 11 and
12.
At the time of the assessment Lot 1 which occupies an area of about six hectares at the north
end of the site was cleared of buildings although the concrete floor of a building remained
adjacent to Ballarat Road. Buildings until recently covered the majority of the remainder of
the site. At the time of the assessment they were being demolished to floor level.
The site has been occupied by agricultural machinery manufacturers since 1889 including the
H.V. McKay Harvester Company from 1904 to 1955 and subsequently Massey Ferguson
until about 1986.
Uses of parts of the site include foundries, metal and wood manufacturing and processing
areas, agricultural machinery and equipment assembly areas, paint dips and paint shops,
warehouses and both open and undercover storage areas.
There are underground tanks, underground pipes including oil pipes and a number of
electrical substations on the site.
A creek originally crossed the site from west to east. It was undergrounded during the
1950’s or 1960’s except for an open, dammed section on the east side of the site which has
become a sediment trap.
Lot 1 was investigated most intensely during the assessment. Twenty five test pits were
excavated over this area based on a modified 50 m x 50 m grid. Lots 2, 11 and 12 were
covered by a much coarser grid of fifteen test pits in order to provide an initial scan of
contaminants in this area.

October 1, 1991 -ii- 9 16 12280
Field sampling was undertaken using appropriate decontamination procedures and the test pits
were logged to provide information on subsurface conditions. Contamination was visually
assessed and all samples screened for volatile organic compounds using a photoionisation
detector.
The site was found to be underlain by a sequence which consisted of
(i) fill - 0.2 to 2.0 m deep, often including foundry waste and/or metal
(ii) soil - dominantly stiff to hard silty clay
(iii) rock - basalt was encountered in seven of the test pits where is occurred to
within 0.5 m of the surface.
Perched groundwater seepage was observed on three test pits. The permanent groundwater
table is judged to occur at greater depth in the basalt rock.
Samples were submitted for analyses to WSL Consultants and for chemical analyses. All
analyses were undertaken under appropriate NATA registration. Check testing was carried
out at a second laboratory.
The chemical analyses of samples included analyses for a range of metals, pH, cyanide,
phenolics, total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH),
organochlorine pesticides, halogenated volatile organics, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB's)
and volatile aromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX). The analytical results are summarised in Tables
3 and 4. In the absence of Australian criteria, the analytical results were compared to "Dutch
Guidelines" to assess the severity of contamination which in summary are
Dutch Level B - an indicative value for further investigation.
Dutch Level C - an indicative value for cleaning up.
Sites in which contaminants in samples exceeded Dutch B and C level are shown on Figures
5 and 6.

9 1612280 ... October 1, 1991 -111-
The contamination assessment carried out has resulted in the identification of two main types
of contamination at the site. These are metal contamination and petroleum hydrocarbons
contamination. There are also localised elevated concentrations of polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons and phenolics.
As indicated by Figure 5 metal contamination above Dutch Level B occurs in samples from
widespread locations over the site. Metal contamination above Dutch Level C also occurs
at a number of locations. As indicated by Figure 6 total petroleum hydrocarbon
contamination at above Dutch Level €3 occurs only in samples from the southern end of Lot
1. However, it occurs at a range of locations over the remainder of the site and exceeds
Dutch level C at two locations.
Contamination was principally confined to the fil l . There was also localised contamination
of the underlying natural soil, generally where there was also significant contamination of the
fill. The sediment trapped in the creek near Hampshire Road is also significantly
contaminated with concentrations of chromium, lead, zinc and total petroleum hydrocarbons
exceeding Dutch Level C.
Elutriation testing carried out indicated the potential for migration of metal contaminants into
the groundwater or offsite is low.
Based on the information available we consider Lot 1 could not be used of residential
purposes without clean up of this area. However, we consider that it would be suitable for
industrial or commercial purposes provided an appropriate contaminant management strategy
is incorporated in redevelopment plans to minimise the potential risks to the environment and
to people using the site.
The investigations carried out over Lots 2, 11 and 12 are judged insufficient to make
definitive statements about appropriate future uses for this area except that in its present form
the land cannot be used of residential purposes. We judge that the land is likely to be
suitable for commercial or industrial uses. However, further assessment is required and some
clean up is considered likely to be necessary.

We recommend the sediment in the creek is removed and that either the remainder of the
creek is undergrounded or that the potential for sediment to enter and accumulate on the
creek bottom is minimised.

1 .o INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of a soil contamination assessment conducted at the former
Massey Ferguson plant site in Sunshine, Victoria. The assessment was performed by Golder
Associates Pty. Ltd. at the request of O’Connor Wargon Chapman Pty. Ltd. Approval to
proceed with the assessment was given in a letter from O’Connor Wargon Chapman dated
August 5, 1991 following submission of our proposal dated May 29, 1991.
The site has partial frontages to Devonshire Road, Hampshire Road, Ballarat Road and
Anderson Road, Sunshine as shown on Figure 1. It comprises Lots 1, 2, 11 and 12 and has
an overall area of about 24 hectares.
The aim of the contamination assessment was
To provide an initial assessment of subsurface contamination for Lot 1.
To provide an initial scan for subsurface contamination over Lots 2, 11 and 12 to a
lesser level of assessment than Lot 1.
The general approach was as follows
Collect and review background data about the site with the aim of utilising the
historical research carried out by others and additional data to identify areas of
possible subsurface Contamination.
Excavate a series of test pits on the site to provide subsurface information and to
provide samples for laboratory chemical analyses.
Carry out a range of chemical testing on selected samples to evaluate the extent and
types of contamination at the site and also to evaluate the potential for migration of
contaminants from the site.
Prepare a report presenting the results of field activities and laboratory analysis
performed during the contamination assessment of the site and providing an assessment of the implication of the results.

2.0 BACKGROUND
Lot 1, the "Northern Paddock" has an area of about 6 hectares. At the time of the
assessment it was predominantly vacant land which was in part grassed and in part concrete
covered. Soil and rubble from demolition activities on the southern part of the site covered
part of the Lot.
Lots 2, 11 and 12 cover an area of about 18 hectares and until recently were mainly occupied
by factory buildings. At the time of the assessment buildings on the eastern side of this area
had been largely demolished and demolition activities were underway on the remainder of this
area. The majority of these three lots were asphalt and concrete paved or floored. The
concrete and asphalt was generally still in place.
A creek crossed the site from Anderson Road to Hampshire Road near Hertford Road. The
downstream end of the drain near the Hampshire Road was open, the remainder had been
piped and undergrounded.
Extensive information is available about the site because of its historical significance. In
particular, the Massey Ferguson Site Study, Stage 2 Report, January 1987, researched and
compiled by Melbournes Living Museum of The West Incorporated was used as a source of
background information about the site. The summary to the report indicates the overall uses
of the site were as follows:
The original subdivision of the area occurred in 1850. In 1889 the Braybrook (Agricultural)
Implement Company was established on the site. In 1904 this company was bought out by
the H.V. McKay Harvester Company from Ballarat which manufactured the "Sunshine
Harvester". The operations of Sunshine Harvester Works expanded to occupy the current
site and parts of the surrounding area. In 1955 the "Works" were purchased by Massey
Ferguson who ultimately scaled down production at the site in the 1970's and 1980's
culminating in closure of the site in 1986 and progressive demolition since this date.
Use was also made of a series of aerial photographs from the years 1946, 1956, 1964 which
provided information on the recent history of the site.

Of particular assistance was Mr. Donald McKay who worked at the site from 1931 to 1971.
Mr. McKay was interviewed in August 1991 and was able to provide understanding of the
layout and range of work undertaken at the site that was extremely useful in planning and
assessing the results of the contamination assessment.
Figure 2 shows final uses for various areas as identified by O'Connor Wargon Chapman.
Shown in brackets on the plan are various earlier or more detailed uses of the area identified
by Mr. McKay.
Figure A1 and Table A1 in Appendix A provide a locality plan for the factory in 1955 and
a list of building and departments from about 1940 to 1960. The figure and table are taken
from the 1987 Site Study, Stage 2 report referred to earlier. The quality of reproductions
of both the figure and table is poor. However, they illustrate the range of activities
undertaken at the works.
It is beyond the scope of this report to provide a detailed history of the site. The key features
of relevance to the contamination assessment are the range of past uses of a particular area
and a general understanding of the activities at the site. In summary it was found that:
virtually every component required in the manufacture of the agricultural machinery
produced were manufactured on the site by a range of wood and metal working
processes.
the railway lines on the west side of the site were used to transport in raw materials
and transport out finished machinery products.
large stockpiles of raw materials and finished products were maintained on the site.
Lot 1, the "Northern Paddock" was occupied primarily by a large storage shed
adjoining Ballarat Road and open and covered storage areas for raw materials,
particularly timber. Major structures on Lot 1 in the mid 1950's are shown on
Figure 2. This figures also shows the railway lines for bringing in raw materials.
Golder Associates 12 of 229
October 1, 1991 -4- 91612280
according to Mr. McKay, the area adjacent to the creek in Lot 1 was - in part used for air raid shelters during World War 2
filled with a variety of materials
used as a waste metal storage area
- -
the creek was progressively diverted into a concrete pipe drain. Air photographs
indicate this occurred during the late 1950's or early 1960's. The original creek
course in Lot 1 is shown on Figure 2. It does not appear to coincide with the
easement for the drain that replaced it. This easement is shown on Figure 1.
the creek remained open in Lot 2 adjacent to Hampshire Road and was dammed with
a concrete wall which trapped silt and debris.
according to Mr. McKay raw materials were delivered to the general location where
the "New Foundry" was built in 1967 and tlowed through the earlier foundry and
various manufacturing shops in Lots 12 and 2 along the Hampshire Road side of the
site. Finished components were then transported progressively across the site to the
assembly and painting areas which were mainly located in Lot 11 on the west side
of the site.
uses of some areas changed with time for example there are references to three
foundrys and Mr. McKay indicated there were two powerhouses
according to Mr. McKay there was a network of underground pipes servicing the site
which carried compressed air, water and fuel oil
fuel tanks were located at various points around the site. One area where a number
were located was at the northern end of the West Warehouse
there were several SEC substations, paint dip pits, and large in ground acid tank.
3.0 FELD INVESTIGATION
Golder Associates 13 of 229
October 1, 1991 -5- 9 16 12280
3.1 Backhoe Pit Excavation and SamDling
The field investigation for the contamination assessment took place between August 19 and
23, 1991. Test pits were excavated with a backhoe supplied by Kingston Plant Hire Pty. Ltd.
at forty locations on the site. Where required an excavator with a rock breaker was used to
break the concrete around the perimeter of the test pit. The concrete was then removed by
the backhoe.
In Lot 1, twenty five test pit locations were initially based on a 50 x 50 m grid. Following
the background data search the basic grid pattern was modified to
provide sampling locations both through and adjacent to the concrete covered areas
which were in general the floors of former buildings.
provide locations representative of the areas of the site that were used as open storage
areas.
to provide several sampling locations in the filled creek channel.
The resulting modified test pit locations are shown on Figure 3.
In Lots 2, 11 and 12 where only an initial scan was to be undertaken the approach used was
to
locate nine sampling locations approximately on a broad grid basis to provide
information from a number of random locations. Test Pits 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 35,
37, 38 and 39 were located in this way.
locate six test pits in areas indicated by the background data search to have potential
for contamination to have occurred but that were not already covered by the grid
sampling locations. These test pits were located as follows
Golder Associates 14 of 229
October 1, 1991 -6- 9 16 12280
Test Pits 26 and 32 - located in former foundry areas identified by Mr.
McKay.
Test Pit 33 located in the Blacksmith Shop area identified by
Mr. McKay.
Test Pit 34 - located in the Centreway Crane area and an area of
paint dips identified by Mr. McKay. A second test
pit was excavated at this location (Test Pit 34A)
after buried pipes were found in the first test pit
Test Pit 36 - located in an area with numerous underground fuel
tanks.
Test Pit 40 - located near a large paint dip.
The test pit locations are shown on Figure 3. Soil samples were collected from the test pits
at a range of depths. A sample of sediment was also collected from the creek upstream of
the bridge near Hampshire Road. This sampling location is also shown on Figure 3 .
Rigorous decontamination procedures were observed during the field investigation. The
backhoe was steam cleaned on arrival on site and the backhoe bucket was steam cleaned
between each test pit. Soil samples taken from the backhoe bucket were sampled from the
centre of the excavated soil in the bucket in order to minimise the risk of cross contamination
of samples from a particular test pit.
All small sampling equipment was cleaned prior to obtaining each sample. The cleaning
procedure involved
. ..
rinsing with tap water to remove soil and other material
washing with phosphate free laboratory detergent
rinsing with clean tap water
final rinsing with distilled water.
Golder Associates 15 of 229
October 1, 1991 -7- 9 16 12280
Disposable latex gloves were worn at all times during sampling and were changed between
taking each sample.
Samples of the final washing water from cleaning of the backhoe bucket were collected and
submitted to the laboratory for analyses to check that cross contamination of samples from
different locations was not occurring via sampling process.
A geotechnical engineer from Golder Associates was in attendance during all field work and
logged the test pits, ensured that all cleaning procedures were adhered to, collected the
samples into laboratory prepared containers, stored them in cool conditions on site and
delivered them daily to Golder Associates office where they were stored in a refrigerator
prior to delivery to the laboratory for chemical analyses.
A site specific health and safety plan was prepared for the field investigation at the site. A
copy of this plan is included in Appendix B.
Details of subsurface conditions observed during test pit excavation are included on the
Reports of Test Pits presented in Appendix C. Also included in Appendix C are explanations
of the Notes and Abbreviations Used on Logs and the Method of Soil Classification.
3.2 ScreeninP for Volatile Hvdrocarbons
A photoionisation detector was used to screen all samples collected for the presence of
volatile hydrocarbons. The photoionisation detector was calibrated for benzene and
isobutylene was used to check calibration prior to use of the detector. The results of this
screening are presented on the Reports of Test Pits.
3.3 Fieid Ranking
The soil of samples collected during the investigation were ranked in the field on the basis
of visual and odorous evidence of contamination using a scale from 0 to 3. A description of
the criteria describing each Rank is presented as Table 1 of this report.
Golder Associates 16 of 229
October 1, 1991 -8- 9 16 12280
Results of field rankings are included on the Report of Test Pits. Although this system is
arbitrary and subjective, it can be useful in assisting selection of samples for analysis and in
interpretation of laboratory results.
4.0 CHEMICAL ANALYSIS
All chemical analyses were carried out by or under the direction of WSL Consultants Pty.
Ltd. with quality control testing of duplicate samples conducted by Envirogard laboratories.
All analyses were carried out under NATA registration. The analyses undertaken, the
analytical methods and the reporting limits (method detection limits) used by WSL are listed
in Table 2.
A total of ninety nine samples were submitted to WSL for chemical analyses. The range of
analyses performed on the samples were as follows.
Constituent
Total Metals - nickel, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, zinc
PH Total Cyanide
Phenolics
Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH)
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH)
Organochlorine Pesticides
Halogenated Volatile Organics

The majority of samples analysed were from near surface or a depth of about 0.75 m. A
number of samples were also analysed from a depth of about 1.5 m. Samples from other
depths were analysed at some locations to ensure analysis were undertaken that were
representative of the range of materials encountered.

October 1, 1991 -9- 9 16 12280
Following receipt and evaluation of preliminary data, seven of the samples were selected for
elutriation testing to establish the potential mobility of metal contaminants in the soil and to
be able to assess their potential leach into the groundwater. The testing involves acid
extraction of toxic materials from a soil sample and thus represents conditions more severe
than those likely to be encountered on site.
The laboratory reports of the results of the chemical analyses performed on the soil samples
are presented in Appendix D. The reports of the elutriation testing are presented in Appendix
E and the reports of Quality Assurance analysis are presented in Appendix F.
5.0 RESULTS OF FIELD INVESTIGATION
5.1 Geologv of the Area
The Geological Survey of Victoria 1:63,360 scale Melbourne mapsheet shows the general
area of the site to be underlain by Quaternary Age Newer Volcanics basalt. The materials
found during the investigation are considered to be consistent with map sheet indications.
5.2 Surface Conditions
As previously discussed buildings on the site were being demolished at the time of the
investigation. Demolition was generally progressing down to floor level at the time and the
concrete and asphalt floor and roadways remained largely in place.
The areas covered by concrete and asphalt were not specifically identified as part of the field
investigation. The depth of any concrete or asphalt encountered at each test location was
noted on the Test Pit log. The major area not covered by concrete or asphalt was the
southern two thirds of Lot 1 and the adjacent area in Lot 11.
A number of pits and paint dips are identified on Figure 2. These were copied from site
plans prepared by O’Connor Wargon Chapman. Some had been backfilled prior to the field
investigation.

5.3 Subsurface Conditions
5.3.1
All forty test pits excavated at the site encountered fill. The fill ranged from 0.2 m thick in
Test Pit 5 at the north end of the site to 2.0 m deep in Test Pit 36. The bases of the fill was not reached in Test Pit 40 which met refusal on concrete at 1.85 m and may have been
excavated in a backfilled concrete lined pit.
The depth of fill found is summarised on Figure 4. The depth of fill was greatest in the
southern part of the Lot 1. This is considered to be at least in part related to the filling of the
creek which crossed this area.
The limited number of test pits covering the remainder of the site make it difficult to interpret
any overall trend. The deep fill found in Test Pit 36 was in an area containing a number of
underground tanks. Other fill greater than 1 m deep was found in Test Pits 29 and 32 located
in the old Foundry area and Test Pit 40 previously described.
Excluding the concrete and asphalt flooring and paving of the fill was composed of three
main types of materials
soil, sometimes containing building rubble
foundry waste which was dominantly slag and other similar material which in places
were up to boulder size
metal of all types including metal sheets, barrels, wire, pipe and molten metal waste.
Where foundry waste or metal were identified in the test pits is indicated on Figure 3 and
described in more detail in the Reports of Test Pits.
5.3.2 soil
The natural soil underlying the fill was dominantly high plasticity, stiff to hard, grey and
brown silty clay. There was some carbonate material identified in a number of test pits.
Basalt gravel to boulders were also identified in several test pits.

Basalt was encountered in seven of the forty test pits excavated. In Lot 1, Test Pits 1, 1 1 ,
14 and 17 met refusal on the top of the weathered basalt at depths of 1.2 to 1.4 m. In Lots
2, 1 1 and 12, Test it 31 met refusal on basalt at 1.3 m and Test Pits 27 and 39 met refusal
on basalt at 0.5 m and 0.8 m respectively. Test Pit 34A encountered slightly weathered
basalt at 0.5 m and was continued to refusal at 0.95 m.
5.3.4 Field Evidence of Subsurface Contamination
Photoionisation detector (PID) readings above background levels were recorded at Test Pits
33, 38 and 40. The locations and readings are shown on Figure 4.
In Test Pit 33, PID readings of up to 39 ppm were recorded in samples of both fill and
natural soil. In Test Pit 38 a reading of 60 ppm was obtained in a localised area of natural
soil. In Test Pit 40 a yellow nodule in the fill gave a PID reading of 140 ppm. All other

5.3.5 Groundwater
Groundwater seepage was encountered in Test Pits 15 and 17 at 0.6 m in Test Pit 24 at 1.45
m. No other boreholes encountered groundwater. These observations are judged to reflect
local perched groundwater. We would expect the groundwater table to be at a greater depth
based on our knowledge of the general area.
6.0 CHEMICAL ANALYSIS
6.1 Soil SamDles
A summary of chemical analysis results is presented in Tables 4 and 5.
The analytical results have been compared with guideline criteria presented in the document
"Draft Australian Guidelines for the Assessment and Management of Contaminated sites",
published jointly by the Australian and New Zealand Environment Council (ANZEC) and the
National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) in June 1990. This document
recommends the use of guideline levels for contaminants published by The Netherlands
Ministry of Environment ("Dutch Levels"), as follows:
DUTCH Level B - an indicative value for further investigation. Contamination
concentrations below this level are generally acceptable for
most land uses, including residential use.
DUTCH Level C - an indicative value for cleaning up. At contaminant
concentrations over this level management of the
contamination or clean-up may be necessary.
.s
Australian guidelines for soil contamination are still in the process of development.
However, we understand that the format of future Australian guidelines will be similar to the
Dutch guidelines, ie. three comparative levels, A, B and C, will be presented. It should be
noted that an Australian Level B has been published for lead, and this value is used in place
of the Dutch Level B in this report.

The guideline levels are as shown in Tables 3 and 4. Also shown, are the constituents
analysed in the soil samples that exceed Dutch Level B or Dutch Level C for each sample
tested.
Elevated concentrations of total metals are identified by location on Figure 5. Twenty of the
sixty samples analysed from the test pits in Lot 1 exceeded Dutch Level B for one or more
metals and four samples exceeded Dutch Level C. The metals found in elevated
concentrations most frequently were nickel, copper and zinc with chromium, lead, cadmium
and arsenic also occurring in elevated concentrations in some samples. Samples with total
metal concentrations which exceeded Dutch Level C were as follows.
Test Pit Depth Contaminant Concentration Dutch Level C
0 m d k q m d k g
11 0.25 - 0.3 copper 1000 500
18 0.05 - 0.08 zinc 3200 3000
23 1.45 - 1.50 cadmium 29 20
25 0.90 - 1.00 nickel 9 10 500
chromium 1800 800
copper 2300 500
Heavy metal contamination found in Lot 1 was confined to samples of fill except for a sample
of natural soil from Test Pit 18 which exceeded Dutch Level B for zinc. The samples of fill
above the natural soil in this test pit also had an elevated concentration of zinc.
Eleven of the thirty six samples analysed from the test pits in Lots 2, 11 and 12 exceeded
Dutch Level B one or more total metals and three samples exceeded Dutch Level C. The
metals found in elevated concentrations most frequently were nickel, coper, lead and zinc
with chromium and arsenic also occurring in elevated concentrations in some samples.
Samples with total metal concentrations exceeding Dutch Level C were as follows.

Heavy metal contamination above Dutch Level B in the samples analysed from test pits in
Lots 2, 11 and 12 was confined to the fill.
The sample of soil from the open part of the creek upstream of the bridge had elevated
concentrations of a number of heavy metals. These were chromium, copper, lead, zinc and
cadmium. Samples with metal concentrations that exceeded Dutch Level C were as follows.

f samples were neutral to alkaline with a pH range of 6.1 to 9.7. Tot 1
cyanide was not found at concentrations above the method detection limit in any of the
samples analysed.
Elevated concentrations of organic compounds are identified by location on Figure 6.
Concentrations of phenolic compounds found in samples analysed were generally low
although they were detected in a number of samples. The only sample from the test pits to
exceed Dutch Level B was a sample from Test Pit 33 with a total phenol concentration of 6.4
mgkg. No sample exceeded Dutch Level C. The concentration of phenolic compounds in
the creek sediment also exceeded Dutch Level B.
Golder Associates 23 of 229
October 1, 1991 -1s- 9 16 12280
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations were below Dutch Level B in all
samples analysed from Lot 1 . Over the remainder of the site, two samples from Test Pit 33
and one sample from Test Pit 38 exceeded Dutch Level B and one sample from Test Pit 38
with a PAH concentration of 267 mg/kg exceeded Dutch Level C. Samples of natural soil
from Test Pits 33 and 38 had PAH concentrations that exceeded Dutch Level By the
remaining samples were from fi l l .
There are no Dutch Guidelines for total petroleum hydrocarbons. However, Dutch Levels for
mineral oils are generally used as a guide. Total petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations
exceeded Dutch Level B for mineral oil in two sampla from Test Pits 23 and 25 in Lot 1.
The maximum total petroleum hydrocarbon concentration in this area was 3800 mg/kg in a
sample from the fill in Test Pit 23. Total petroleum hydrocarbon concentration exceeded
Dutch Level B in two samples from Test Pits 36 and 40 in Lots 2, 1 1 and 12. They
exceeded Dutch Level C in a further four samples from Test Pits 33, 38 and 40 with
concentrations of up to 33000 mg/kg. The creek sediment sample also exceeded Dutch Level
C with a total petroleum hydrocarbon concentration of 3 1000 mg/kg in the original analysis
and 13000 mg/kg in the duplicate that underwent check testing. The distribution of test pits
where Dutch Level B or C were exceeded is shown on Figure 6.
The majority of elevated concentrations of total petroleum hydrocarbons were in samples of
fill. However in Test Pits 33 and 38 where elevated concentrations occurred in the fill, there
were also elevated concentrations in the underlying soil.
No organochlorine pesticides, halogenated volatile organics, PCB’s or voIatiIe aromatic
hydrocarbons were detected at above the respective method detection limits for these
contaminants. The method detection limits were all in turn below Dutch Level B.
6.2 Elutriation Testing
The results of the elutriation testing are summarised in Table 6. The testing carried out was
limited in terms of the number of samples. However, testing was generally carried out on
the more highly metal contaminated samples which would have the greatest potential to leach
metals.
Golder Associates 24 of 229
October 1, 1991 -16- 9 16 12280
Limits for evaluating the test results are initially based upon NHMRC drinking water
guidelines multiplied by 100. All results were below these limits. The results are also below
the limits for the elutriable fraction acceptable by the EPA in soil that can disposed of as low
level contaminated soil. The results of the testing indicate that the metal contaminants in the
fill and soil on the site have low leachability and low potential for groundwater
contamination.
6.3 Oualitv Assurance
The results of the quality assurance testing are presented in Appendix F. The results of
check analyses by Envirogard are also presented with the WSL results in Tables 3 and 4.
The contaminant concentrations in samples of wash water from cleaning of sampling
equipment are in general below the method detection limit. Exceptions are zinc which was
present at up to 0.05 mg/L and copper at up to 0.75 mg/L.
The copper concentration found is considered to be higher than normally expected.
However, it is not considered that zinc or copper at these concentrations would lead to
significant cross contamination of samples.
Discussions with Mr. B. Lyons of WSL indicate that he considered the results of the check
analyses are consistent with the original analyses results. He commented that different
analytical equipment was used for the metals analysis and has led to differences in detection
levels between the two laboratories and some variation in results. There is variation in the
very high concentrations total petroleum hydrocarbons in the creek sediment samples. Mr.
Lyons considered that this was due to variability within the sample submitted.
7.0 DTSCUSSTON
The initial contamination assessment carried out has resulted in the identification of two main
types of contamination at the site. These are
(i) Metal contamination
(ii) Petroleum hydrocarbons contamination.
Golder Associates 25 of 229
October 1, 1991 -17- 9 1612280
There are also localised elevated concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and
phenols.
In the absence of Australian criteria, Dutch criteria have been used to assess the level of
contamination. As indicated by Figure 5 metal contamination above Dutch Level B occurs
in samples from widespread locations over the site. Metal contamination above Dutch Level
C is not as widespread but occurs at a number of locations. As indicated by Figure 6 total
petroleum hydrocarbon contamination occurs only in samples from the southern end of Lot
1. However it occurs at a range of locations in Lots 2, 11 and 12.
Fill was found at all test pit locations and contamination was principally confined to the fill.
There was also localised contamination of the underlying natural soil, particularly where there
was organic contamination of the fill. Metal contamination of the underlying soil was
confined to one sample and elutriation testing carried out indicated the potential for migration
of metal contaminants into the groundwater or offsite is low.
The sediment trapped in the creek near Hampshire Road is significantly contaminated with
chromium, lead and zinc and total petroleum hydrocarbons.
The spacing of test locations is significantly closer in Lot 1 than in Lots 2, 11 and 12. In
turn this provides a greater level of confidence in assessing the implications of contamination
on future uses of this part of the site.
We understand that Lot 1 is currently zoned for commercial purposes. We consider that it
would be suitable for this use or industrial use provided redevelopment incorporates a
contaminant management strategy. If residential use of Lot 1 were considered this would
require the issuing of a Certificate of Environmental Audit. The levels of contamination
found are such that this would require some form of clean-up.
The aim of the a contaminant management strategy is two fold
(i) to protect the environment
(ii) The environment can be protected by minimising the risk of contaminants moving offsite.
This can primarily occur via surface water or the groundwater.
to protect people using the site.
Golder Associates 26 of 229
October 1, 1991 ,18- 91612280
The creek sediment on the site has been shown to be contaminated. We recommend that the
sediment in the creek be removed and that either the remainder of the creek is placed
underground in pipe or that the potential for sediment to enter the creek and accumulate on
the creek bottom is minirnised. Levels of zinc and petroleum hydrocarbons in the sample
analysed are such that if representative of the sediment as a whole, the sediment would have
to be disposed of as prescribed waste in a secure landfill licensed to accept such waste.
The permanent groundwater table is judged to be at a depth of 10 to 15 m in the basalt
underlying the site. We consider the potential for groundwater contamination is low because
of
(i)
(ii)
the low leachability of the metal contaminants found at the site
the attenuation of contaminants by the clay overlying the basalt and clay infilling in
the defects in the basalt
However, in order to demonstrate that the contaminants found are not affecting the
environment we consider that it would be advantageous to confirm that the groundwater
underlying the site is not contaminated, particularly due to the petroleum hydrocarbons found.
This would require the installation of groundwater monitoring boreholes.
Protection of the environment can also be enhanced by providing a low permeability capping
layer that reduces the amount of water percolating through the contaminated material. This
can be achieved by using materials such as concrete, asphalt, brick paving or clay capping
to cover areas not already covered by buildings. These materials also act as a separation
layer between the contaminants present and people using the site. The use of such a
separation layer is considered to be an effective way of minimising the impact of
contamination on these people.
The contaminant management strategy should be developed when the final proposed uses of
the site are known. Specific design measures can then be implemented as part of this
strategy.
Golder Associates 27 of 229
c October 1, 1991 -19- 9 16 12280
The investigations carried out over Lots 2, 11 and 12 which comprise the remainder of the
site are judged insufficient to make definitive statements about appropriate future uses for this
area except that in its present form the land cannot be used of residential purposes. We judge
that the land is likely to be suitable for commercial or industrial uses. However, further
assessment is required and some clean up is likely to be necessary. For example, there are
underground tanks on the site and buried pipes with evidence of contamination around them.
Removal of these tanks and pipes and any obviously contaminated material is judged to be
necessary as part of the redevelopment the site.
8.0 LIMITATIONS OF THIS REPORT
Soil and rock formations are variable. The test pit logs indicate the approximate subsurface
conditions only at the specific test locations. Boundaries between zones on the logs are often
not distinct, but rather are transitional and have been interpreted. The precision with which
subsurface conditions are indicated depends largely on the frequency and method of sampling,
and the uniformity of subsurface conditions. The spacing of test sites also usually reflect
budget and schedule constraints. Groundwater conditions described in this report refer only
to those observed at the place and under the circumstances noted in the report. These
conditions may vary seasonally or as a consequence of construction activities on the site or
adjacent sites.
Golder Associates 28 of 229
October 1, 1991 -20- 9 1612280
Where conditions encountered at the site differ significantly from those anticipated in this
report, either due to natural variability of subsurface conditions or construction activities, it
is a condition of this report that Golder Associates Pty. Ltd. be notified of the changes and
provided with an opportunity to review the recommendations of this report.

1. INTRODUCTION
Golder Associates has completed a Stage 2 contamination assessment of Lot 10 at the
former Massey Fergusson site located on Ballarat in Sunshine (Figure 1). The Stage 2
assessment has been conducted for Atkinson Project Management (Aust) Pty Ltd (Atkinson)
on behalf of the Department of Justice. It is proposed that the site is developed for use as a
Police and Courts Complex and Atkinson are project managing the redevelopment of site to
that end.
A preliminary contamination assessment was undertaken of the land including Lot 10 by
Golder Associates in 1991 (Reference 1). A review of the preliminary assessment work was
completed in March 1997 by Golder Associates (Reference 2) so that the Department of
Justice could make an informed decision as to the appropriate measures to deal with soil
contamination on Lot 10.
Subsequently, a statutory Environmental Audit is being conducted of the site and the EPA
appointed Environmental Audit (Contaminated Land) that has been engaged to undertake
the Audit is Mr Rick Graham (the Auditor) of Sinclair Knight Men. The works completed
as part of this phase of assessment were undertaken following consultation with the Auditor.
Lot 10 is covers approximately 1.97 ha and is currently vacant.
2. SCOPE OF WORK
A proposal to conduct the Stage 2 Contamination Assessment was provided to Atkinson in a
letter dated March 18, 1997 (Reference P971554). The Stage 2 Contamination Assessment
involved the following scope of work:
Development of a formal work plan and quality assurance programme for the Stage 2
Contamination Assessment developed in light of Auditor comment.
Implementation of the work plan including field investigation and chemical analysis.
Field investigation works involved selection of a further twenty sample locations at the
site. Inclusive of the sample locations selected on Lot 10 that were investigated as part of
the previous investigation work, the resultant number of locations is thirty.
Recovery of soil samples from the twenty locations.

3. BACKGROUND
3.1 General
Lot 10 formed the north east portion of the former Massey Fergusson property. Two
previous contamination assessments have been undertaken by Golder Associates that
include information that is relevant to Lot 10. The results are presented in reports dated
October 199 1 and May 1992 (References 1 and 3).
The October 1991 report presents the results of the preliminary investigation over the entire
Massey Fergusson site covering 24 ha and included Lot 10.
Other reports address specific areas of the overall Massey Fergusson site to the south and
provides a general background to the nature of the contamination (Reference 3) but does not
provide additional specific data for Lot 10.
For completeness, the results of the previous assessment (Reference 1) are included and
discussed in this report.
3.2 Site History
The site history for Lot 10 has been developed based on the site history developed for the
entire Massey Fergusson property as part of earlier assessments and in particular is based
extensively on the Massey Fergusson Site Study. Stage 2 Report (Reference 4).
Golder Associates 82 of 229
October 14, 1997 -3- 966136801218
3.2.1 Massey Fergusson Site - General
The Massey Fergusson property has been occupied by agncultural machinery manufacturers
from 1889 including the HV McKay Harvester Company from 1904 to 1955 and
subsequently Massey Fergusson until 1986.
The original subdivision of the area occurred in 1850. In 1889 the Braybrook (Agncultural)
Implement Company was established on the property. In 1904 this company was brought
out by the HV McKay Harvester Company from Ballarat which manufactured the “Sunshine
Harvester”. The operations of the Sunshine Harvester Works expanded to occupy the current
property and parts of the surrounding area. In 1955 the “Works” were purchased by Massey
Fergusson who ultimately scaled down production at the property in the 1970s and 1980s,
which culminated in closure of the property in 1986. Most of the buildings were
subsequently demolished in 1991.
A plan showing the finals uses for various areas as identified O’Connor Wargon Chapman,
who were responsible for the decommissioning works at the property. Also shown are
various more specific uses of the area identified by Mr D McKay, a former employee of the
factory who was interviewed as part of the site history research.
Uses of parts of the property included foundries, metal and wood manufacturing and
processing areas, agncultural and equipment assembly areas, paint dips, paint shops,
warehouses and both open and undercover storage areas.
The northern area of the property encompassing Lot 10 was known as the “Northern
Paddock” and covered area of approximately 6 ha. The remainder of the Massey Fergusson
property covers an approximate 18 ha area and until the early 1990s was mainly occupied
by factory buildings. At the time of preparation of this report, all the former buildings on the
Massey Fergusson property had been demolished except the Bulk Store in the southern part
of the property and construction works associated with redevelopment of parts of the
property had commenced.
A creek originally traversed the property from Anderson Road to Hampshire Road near
Hertford Road. This was subsequently diverted to an underground drain which crossed
beneath the property. More recently, creek flows upstream of the site have been diverted
into a drain along Anderson Road.

3.2.2 Site History of Lot 10
The overall Massey Fergusson property has been used for the manufacture of agricultural
equipment since 1889. A review of aerial photographs from 1946, 1956, 1964 and 1981
indicates that the area of Lot 10 changed very little during that period (Plate 1).
The buildings and features in Lot 10 generally remained as shown in Figure 2. These
included a large storage building covering much of the northern portion of Lot 10, two
railway lines entering Lot 10 from the west and general open and covered storage areas
covering the remainder of the lot. The railway lines were used to transport in the raw
~ materials and transport the finished machinery products from the site. Review of the aerial photographs indicates such stockpiles along the railway in Lot 10.
The open areas appeared to be unpaved throughout this time. It is understood that the store
and storage areas were used for the storage of raw materials for the plant including timber
and metal.
The storage building was demolished and some of the railway lines were removed in the
1980s before the remainder of the Massey Fergusson site building; which were demolished
in the early 1990s. Since then the site has remained vacant.
3.3 Results of Previous Assessments
The preliminary assessment of Lot 10 carried out by Golder Associates in 1991 (Reference
1) indicated that variable fil l containing factory wastes overlies natural soil. The only
exceedances of ANZECCNMRC Level B criteria were for the metals arsenic, chromium,
copper, nickel and zinc in the fill and chromium and zinc in the natural soil. Five
exceedances of the Proposed Dutch Intervention Values were found for samples of fi l l for
copper and zinc and one exceedence for a sample of natural soil due to an elevated zinc
concentration.
A review of the preliminary assessment work was undertaken by Golder Associates in 1997
(Reference 2). The review was undertaken to allow the Department of Justice to make an
informed decision as to the appropriate measures to deal with soil contamination on Lot 10,
given the proposed use of the site as a Police and Courts Complex.
Golder Associates 84 of 229
October 14, 1997 -5- 966136801218
The review found based on the results of the 1991 assessment, Lot 10 was considered
suitable for general commercial or industrial uses and more specifically for a police station
and courts complex providing a contaminant management plan is put in place. In general, it
was considered that this would require that a minimum thickness of 300 mm of soil should
be placed over the existing materials in areas that were not to be covered by buildings or
pavements. This was to provide a separation layer between site users and potentially
contaminated materials.
Although no underground tanks were believed to be present, it is possible that such tanks or
similar sub-surface features or localised undiscovered areas of contamination could exist on
the site. In the event that these were found during development works, the review indicated
that they should be removed and validation sampling and analysis of remaining soil should
be undertaken to demonstrate that contaminant levels are suitably low. An on-going
contaminant management plan would have to be implemented. This would address issues
such as maintenance of the separation layer.
Given the history of the Massey Ferguson property, it was recommended that in order to
demonstrate with a high level of confidence that Lot 10 is suitable for use as a police station
and courts complex, a Statement of Environmental Audit should be obtained. Further, it
was considered that this should be done as part of the re-development process and that the
approach would involve:
Completing a Stage 2 contamination assessment of Lot 10 prior to any re-development.
The scope of the Stage 2 assessment would be determined in conjunction with the
Auditor.
0 Carrying out any localised clean-up considered necessary by the Auditor prior to or at the
start of re-development.
Development and implementation of a plan to manage any further localised
contamination found during the earth-works for the redevelopment.
Issue of a Statement of Environmental Audit.
Implementation of any conditions applied to the Statement such as the provision of a
layer of clean soil in areas not covered by buildings and pavements.

October 14, 1997 -6- 966136801218
This approach was adopted and has led to the completion of the Stage 2 Contamination
Assessment and the preparation of this report.
4. STAGE 2 FIELD INVESTIGATION
A work plan and quality assurance programme for the Stage 2 assessment were developed
incorporating Auditor comment. The aim of the field investigation was to
provide additional information regarding the suitability of on site soil and fill for use on the
site for a police and courts complex; and
1
provide the Auditor with additional information to facilitate the completion of an
Environmental Audit of the site.
The works undertaken as part of the field investigation are detailed in the work plan
included in Appendix A. Details regarding the field investigation are summarised below.
4.1 Selection of Selection of Sample Locations
The Stage 2 assessment works involve the selection of a further 20 sample locations at Lot
10. Soil samples had been recovered from ten locations across Lot 10 as part of previous
investigation works undertaken by Golder Associates (Reference 1). The total number of
soil sample locations is now thirty which adequately meets the requirements recommended
for a 1.97 ha site outlined in the Draft Australian Standard for the Sampling of Soils Par[ 1:
Guide to the Sampling and Investigation of Potentially Contaminated Soil (Reference 5) .
Samples locations (inclusive of the preliminary assessment) are on an approximate 30 m
gnd and additional sample locations have been place in areas of potential concern.
Of the twenty sample locations selected for the Stage 2 assessment, four were located in the
vicinity of a former store, five in the vicinity of the rail lines, three within known timber
storage areas and eight across the general site to broadly screen for contamination. Details
relating to sample locations for the Preliminary and Stage 2 assessments are outlined below.

The sample locations for the Stage 2 assessment were located by survey. A copy of the

4.2 Soil Sampling
The Stage 2 field investigation involved soil sampling from twenty test pits and was
undertaken on July 16 and 17, 1997. A total of 90 samples were recovered from the test pits.
Descriptions of the subsurface conditions encountered at each test pit and depths at which
samples were recovered are presented in Appendix C, Report of Test Pits. A summary of the
Notes and Abbreviations Used and the Method of Soil Classification are also included in
Appendix C.
Throughout the sampling, a Microtip photoionisation detector (PID) was used to identify the
possible presence of volatile organic compounds in the soil. The PID was fitted with a 10.6
eV lamp and was calibrated to iso-butylene. Its response to iso-butylene was checked before
the instrument was used.
Sampling was undertaken using Golder Associates Standard Sampling Protocols which are
included as part of Work Plan (Appendix A). In summary, sampling equipment was cleaned
prior to recovering each sample to minimise the potential of cross contamination between
samples. The following procedure was used:
0 a rinse to remove adhered soil;
washing in phosphate fiee detergent;
a final rinse in tap water; and
0
0
0 a rinse in distilled water.
Golder Associates 87 of 229
October 14, 1997 -8- 9661 3680121 8
The soil samples were placed in clean pre-washed jars or head space vials and stored under
cooled conditions while in the field and in transit. A chain of custody record was kept for all
soil samples from the time of sample collection until delivery to the laboratory.
5. SITE CONDITIONS
5.1 Site Geology
The Geological Survey of Victoria 1:63,360 scale Melbourne Mapsheet indicates that the
site is underlain by early Quaternary Aged Newer Volcanics basalt. The natural soil and
, rock encountered at the site are consistent with those indications.
5.2 Surface Conditions
At the time of the assessment the site was vacant land and the surface was largely grass
covered. Some disturbance was noted due to the Brimbank City Council’s road construction
activities, particularly around the southern and western boundaries. The fall across the site is
approximately 1.5 m in a north to south direction.
The site is bounded to the north by Ballarat Road; east of the site land is currently used for
commercial purposes. Land to the south land is being developed for use as a shopping and
cinema complex, while land to the west over Harvester Road is being developed for Vic
Roads.
5.3 Subsurface Conditions
Fill was encountered at all 30 locations investigated as part of the Preliminary and Stage 2
assessments. In summary, the depth of fil l in the test pits excavated was found to range from
0.1 m to 1.9 m. The shallowest fi l l was generally found on the northern portion of the Lot
10, while areas of deeper fill were found near the southern and eastern boundaries of the
site. The depth of fi l l at each sample locations is shown on Figure 3.
The layer of f i l l was variable in nature and was found to be primarily silty, gravelly or
clayey and in places to include bitumen, crushed rock, slag, ash, coke, wood including
railway sleepers, scrap metal, brick, ballast and plastic. The fill encountered on Lot 10 is
considered to be consistent in nature with the f i l l encountered on other portions of the
Massey Fergusson site.
Golder Associates 88 of 229
October 14, 1997 -9- 966136801218
The natural soil encountered was generally a greyhrown silty clay which is consistent with
the expected natural soil that overlies the basalt of the area. Basalt rock was encountered in
four out of the thirty test pits excavated.
A photoionisation detector (PID) survey was undertaken involving recording of field PID
readings of soil samples. PID readings were generally less than 1 ppm. However, the near
surface samples of fill recovered from G97TP9 and G97TP20 had PID readings of 64.2 ppm
and 9.8 ppm respectively. Vial samples were recovered for volatile organic analysis.
Selected samples with low PID readings were also analysed for volatile organic compounds
, to confirm that these compounds were not present at significant concentrations in the soil.
5.4 Groundwater
Groundwater or perched groundwater was not encountered in any of the thirty test pits
excavated as part of the Preliminary or Stage 2 assessment.
A review of regional groundwater conditions was undertaken as part of previous
investigation work at the former Massey Fergusson site (Reference 6). This review found
A line of boreholes drilled about 500 m west of the site which indicates that the
groundwater table is 10 to 15 m below ground surface
A line of boreholes which are understood to be monitored by Southern Rural Water
about 1 km north of the site, indicate groundwater levels 10 to 16.5 m below ground
surface.
The regional information is considered to confirm that the regional groundwater table at the
site would be at a depth in excess of 10 m.
6. LABORATORY ANALYSIS
WSL Consultants Pty Ltd (WSL) was engaged as the primary analytical laboratory for the
project. Australian Environmental Laboratories Pty Ltd (AEL) was engaged as the secondary
laboratory for quality assurance purposes. Both WSL and AEL are NATA registered for the
analyses undertaken. Laboratory reporting sheets showing the analytical methods used and
NATA certification for the analyses undertaken by WSL are presented in Appendix D and by
AEL in Appendix E. WSL also conducted an internal quality assurance testing program.

Laboratory reporting sheets for the internal quality control testing are presented in Appendix
D.
Samples were generally analysed for total petroleum hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons and the metals arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury and zinc.
Selected samples were also analysed for the EPA Screen.
Field duplicates of samples were submitted to the primary and secondary laboratory for quality
assurance check testing. Of the fifty three samples analysed, five duplicates were submitted to
each of the laboratories. Duplicates were analysed for total petroleum hydrocarbons,
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and the metals arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead,
mercury and zinc.
The complete analytical programme is further outlined in Table 1.
7. INITIAL ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
The results of chemical analyses of soil samples collected during this investigation were
initially compared with published Australian criteria in order to assess the severity of
contamination of soil at the site. The general criteria used in this report are presented in the
Australian and New Zealand Guidelines for the Assessment and Management of Contaminated
Sites, January 1992 (ANZECC/NHMRC Guidelines) (Reference 7). Specifically, the criteria
are ANZECCMHMRC Level B guidelines which are environmental investigation levels, and
exceedances are considered to indicate the need for further investigation and assessment of the
contamination.
The ANZECCMHMRC guidelines indicate that where no A N Z E C C M C Level B criteria
exists, the Dutch Level B (Reference 8) should be used as a threshold value for environmental
concerns. Dutch Proposed Intervention Values have also been used in this report as a fkrther
point of comparison (Reference 9).
Contaminant concentrations below ANZECCMHMRC Level B (or Dutch Level B) are
generally considered as suitable for any beneficial use. Contaminant concentrations above
these levels require further site specific assessment of their health and environmental impact,
with the nature of the proposed land use being an important factor in determining acceptable
contaminant concentrations. As a general guide, contaminant concentration levels above the
Golder Associates 90 of 229
October 14, 1997 -1 1- 966 1368012 18
ANZECC/NHMRC Level B (or Dutch Level B), but below the Dutch Proposed Intervention
Value are generally considered acceptable for land intended for commercial or industrial uses.
Depending on site specific factors, higher contaminant concentrations may also be tolerable.
The criteria used for this assessment are summarised in Tables 2 to 8.
8. COMPARISON OF ANALYTICAL RESULTS WITH ENVIRONMENTAL
INVESTIGATION CRITERIA
The analytical result reporting sheets for the Stage 2 assessment are presented Appendix D.
, The analytical results of the Stage 2 analysis are summarised in Tables 2 to 8 and the results of the preliminary assessment are summarised in Table 9. For both the preliminary and
Stage 2 assessment the results for which there were exceedances of the ANZECC/NHMRC
Level B criteria are shown on Figure 4.
8.1 Fill
The pH of the fill was found to range from 7.4 to 9.0 to indicating alkaline conditions.
Comparison of the chemical analysis results indicate that samples with concentrations of the
;metals arsenic, copper, chromium, lead, zinc, manganese or nickel that exceeded the
ANZECCNHMRC Level B criteria in fill occurred across the site (Figure 4).
Concentrations of the metals antimony, barium, beryllium, cadmium, cobalt, mercury,
molybdenum, selenium and tin were all below the ANZECC/NHMRC Level criteria in the
samples analysed.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were generally not detected at concentrations above the
laboratory method detection limit in the samples analysed. However, the concentration of
the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon benzo(a)pyrene in two samples marginally exceeded
the ANZECCNHMRC Level B criterion of 1 mgkg. These were from test locations
G97TP15 and G97TP18, the locations of which is shown on Figure 4. There were no
exceedances of the ANZECC/NHMRC Level criterion of 20 mgkg for total polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons.
Concentrations of total petroleum hydrocarbons were generally below the laboratory method
detection limit. However, the heavier end fractions were detected in samples at
concentrations above the laboratory method detection limit but below the
Golder Associates 91 of 229
October 14, 1997 -12- 966 13680/2 18
ANZECCAWMRC Level B criteria in some fill samples recovered from test pits including
TP 9, TP 10, TP 15, TP 18, TP 20, G97TP17, G97TP18, G97TP19 and G97TP20. The
concentration in a duplicate recovered from G97TP 17 had a concentration that exceeded the
ANZECC/NHMRC Level B criteria.
The concentration of sulphate, cyanide, total phenolics, pentachlorophenol, cyanide,
monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, volatile halogenated organics, polychlorinated
biphenyls, organochlorine pesticides and chlorinated hydrocarbons were all below the
laboratory method detection limit and therefore below relevant ANZECCMHMRC Level B
criteria in the samples analysed. In addition, although elevated PID readings were found for
, samples G97TP9/1 and G97TP20/1 (64.2 ppm and 9.8 ppm, respectively) the chemical analyses results do not indicate the presence of volatile organic compounds in the soil at
these locations.
The concentrations of metals in some samples also exceeded Proposed Dutch Intervention
Values, these are also shown on Figure 4 and are summarised below.

8.2 Natural Soil
The pH of the natural soil ranged from 7.1 to 9.0 indicating an alkaline condition.
Concentrations of the metals were generally below the ANZECCAWMRC Level B criteria.
Concentrations of chromium exceeded the ANZECC/NHMRC Level B criterion of 50
mgkg and ranged up to 80 mgkg at six locations. There were no exceedances of the
Proposed Dutch Intervention Values for chromium in the natural soil. The concentration of
Colder Associates 92 of 229
October 14, 1997 -13- 9661 3680121 8
zinc at TP 18 at a depth of 0.75 m was 1000 mgkg which exceeded the Proposed. Dutch
Intervention Value of 720 mgkg.
Concentrations of total petroleum hydrocarbons and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in
samples of the natural soil analysed were not detected at concentrations above the laboratory
method detection limit and were therefore below relevant ANZECC/NHMRC Level B
criteria.
8.3 Results of Elutriation Testing
Upon receipt of the preliminary analytical results, samples that were considered to have
significantly elevated concentrations of a particular metal or metals (typically where there
were exceedances of the Dutch Proposed Intervention criteria) underwent elutriation testing
for those metals.
The results of the elutriation testing are summarised below. Sample Sample Contaminant(s) of Total Concentration Elutriable Fraction Location Depth G97TP9 0.0-0.1 rn G97TP10 0.4-0.5 rn G97TP13 0.3-0.4 rn G97TP 14 0.0-0.1 rn

These leachabilities are generally low. However, the elutriable lead fiactions in the samples
from G97TP17 exceed the maximums allowed by the EPA for Low Level Contaminated
Soil (Reference 11).
9. COMPARISON OF ANALYTICAL RESULTS WITH HEALTH
INVESTIGATION LEVELS
The concentration of contaminants has also been compared to the Health Based Soil
Investigation Levels outlined in the National Environmental Health Forum Monographs
Soils Series No. 1 (Reference 10) where there were exceedances of ANZECCAWMRC
Level B criteria. The future use of the site as a police and courts complex would essentially
be for a commercial type use involving covering much of the site with buildings and for
open space type use. However, there will also be some open space. Therefore, the Health
Based Soil Investigation Levels for a commercial and for open space type use for arsenic,
Colder Associates 93 of 229
October 14, 1997 -14- 966 1368012 18
copper, chromium, lead, manganese, nickel, zinc and the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon
benzo(a)pyrene are outlined below

Note: Based on experience in the area Chromium (VI) is likely to be present only as a very small percentage of total chromium. The remainder will be Chromium (111).
Benzo(a)pyrene 5 2
Review of the chemical analysis results indicate that there is only one exceedence of the
NEHF Health Based Investigation Levels for commercial use for lead. This is for a sample
recovered from a depth of 0.4 m from G97TP17. Concentrations in primary and duplicate
samples ranged from 3500 mgkg to 14000 mgkg.
The exceedences of NEHF Health Based Investigation Levels for open space are as follows:
Contaminant Sample Location Sample Depth (m) Concentration Copper G97TP13 0.3-0.4 4200
Lead G97TP17 0.4-0.5 4500 Manganese G97TP8 0.0-0. I 3100
10. AUDITOR’S SITE SPECIFIC CRITERIA
The Auditor has also developed site specific criteria relating to acceptable contaminant
levels that can remain on the site. Exceedances of the Auditor’s site specific criteria indicate
the need for either further investigation or clean up. The site specific criteria developed by
the Auditor are outlined below.
Contaminant Auditor’s Site Specific Criteria (mglkg)

Colder Associates 94 of 229
October 14, 1997 -15- 966 1368012 18
Comparison of the chemical analysis results for the preliminary and Stage 2 assessments
indicates samples which contained contaminant concentrations that exceeded the Auditor’s
site specific criteria were:
A sample recovered from a depth of 0.3 m from G97TP13 which had a copper
concentration of 4,200 mg/kg; and
A primary sample recovered from a depth of 0.4 m from G97TP17 which had a lead
concentration of 3500 mg/kg. Lead concentrations of 4500 mgkg and 14000 mgkg
were found in duplicates of the sample sent to the primary and secondary laboratory
respectively. The average total CIo-C36 concentration in the primary and duplicate
samples was 1100 mgkg which also exceeds the Auditor’s criteria. ,
11. OFF SITE DISPOSAL OF SOIL
If during site development soil is to be disposed off site, it must be undertaken with regard
to off-site disposal criteria set out in EPA Bulletin 448, Classification of Wastes (Reference
11). Soil and fil l can be categorised into four types:
Fill Material (clean fill) which comprises soil, gravel and rock - Concentrations of potential
contaminants must not exceed those listed as the maximum concentrations allowed as
outlined in Table 3 of in EPA Bulletin 448, Classification of Wastes (Reference 11).
Solid Inert Material which comprises demolition material, concrete, bricks, timber, plastic,
bitumen and shredded tyres.
Low Level Contaminated Soil - Contaminant concentrations and elutriable fractions must
not exceed those listed as the maximum concentrations set out in Table 3 of in EPA Bulletin
448. Classification of Wastes (Reference 11).
Prescribed Waste as listed in the Prescribed Waste Regulations and Table 4 of in EPA
Bulletin 448, Classification of Wastes (Reference 11).
There are generally no environmental restrictions on the handling of Fill Material. Soil
meeting Fill Material criteria generally does not require disposal to a licensed landfill. EPA
requirements state that the disposal of Fill Material must not give rise to any off site impact.
Colder Associates 95 of 229
October 14, 1997 -16- 966 1 368012 1 8
In view of the known industrial history of the site, it would be considered prudent to dispose
of Fill Material sourced from the site to landfill.
Soil meeting Low Level Contaminated Soil Criteria must be disposed of to an appropriately
licensed landfill. Victorian EPA approval to dispose of Low Level Contaminated Soil is also
required. Victorian EPA approval is likely to require onerous testing requirements.
Soil that does not meet the Low Level Contaminated Soil Criteria nominally requires
disposal as Prescribed Waste. This is generally to an appropriately licensed landfill.
Transport and disposal of the soil must be carried out in vehicles utilising Waste Transport
Certificates and licensed to carry Prescribed Waste. If the landfill license criteria for
Prescribed Waste are exceeded, treatment such as fixation will be required before the
material will be accepted.
12. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAMME
The quality assurance programme submission of duplicates to both WSL and AEL for check
testing and a review of the internal quality control results by WSL.
12.1 Check Testing
The results of the check testing have been assessed in terms of Relative Percent Difference
(RPD) calculated as
A - B %RPD = 1-1 ~ 2 0 0 A + B
Where,
A is the concentration of an analyte in a sample as determined by the primary
laboratory; and
B is the concentration of the same analyte in the duplicate of the sample.
RPD values can range from 0 to 200, with a value of 0 representing perfect agreement behveen
laboratories, whilst a value approaching 200 represents a complete divergence of results. For
the purposes of this assessment Golder Associates consider that an RPD which are 6 0 %
represent good correlation between laboratory results.
Golder Associates 96 of 229
October 14, 1997 -17- 966136801218
Where the laboratories have used different detection limits and the results are indicated to be
consistent or if both the laboratories have determined the concentration of the analyte as being
below the laboratory detection limit, then a nominal RPD value of < 50% has been assigned.
However, if the results obtained do not indicate that the results are consistent, for example, one
results is say 4 0 and the other result is 15, then the RPD for the analyte has been calculated
using half the he detection limit.
The results of the quality assurance testing for duplicates submitted to WSL for analysis are
presented in Appendix D and calculated RPDs are summarised in Tables 10 and are
discussed in Section 12.2. The calculated RPDs for samples analysed by the primary
laboratory (WSL) and duplicates analysed by the second laboratory (AEL) are included in
Tables 11 and are discussed in section 12.3. Results of internal quality assurance undertaken
by WSL is discussed in Section 12.4.
12.2 Results of Duplicates Submitted to WSL
Two W D s of greater than 50% were found out of the 135 quality assurance check analyses
carried out on field duplicates analysed by WSL. These were for lead in duplicate samples of
fill from Test Locations G97TP10 and G97TP12. The differences are between field duplicates
which may not be entirely homogeneous and are not considered to affect the result of the
assessment. Overall, the results are therefore indicated to exhibit a high degree of
reproducability .
12.3 Results of External Quality Assurance Check Testing
RPDs of greater than 50% were found for 14 out of the 135 quality assurance check analyses
canied out on field duplicates analysed by AEL. Nine of these were found for some duplicate
analysis of the metals arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, mercury, lead and zinc, two were
for the petroleum hydrocarbon fractions C29-C36, total cIo-c36 in one duplicate and three for
the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons phenanthrene, fluoranthene and pyrene in one duplicate.
Although there is some variation in the results obtained by the two laboratories as indicated by
exceedances of the 50% criterion, overall the results obtained generally do indicate a level of
consistency. Discrepancies have generally occurred when one laboratory reports a low
concentrations of a particular contaminant and the other laboratory reports the concentration as
less than the laboratory method detection limit or also in a low concentration. In particular, in
the twelve duplicates, where the result obtained by the primary laboratory was less than the
Golder Associates 97 of 229
October 14, 1997 -18- 966136801218
ANZECCMHMRC Level B criterion, the result obtained by the second laboratory was also
less than the ANZECCMHMRC Level B criterion in all but one case.
The exception was a TPH analysis of a fill sample from a depth of 0.4m to 0.5m at test
location G97TP17. The results of analyses on duplicate samples in the Clo to c36 range were
used as follow:
Primary Sample
WSL Field Duplicate
AEL Field Duplicate
860 mglkg
950 mgkg
1480 mglkg
f
All three analysed identified TPH in the CIS to CZ8 and CZ9 to c 3 6 ranges. The discrepancies
are considered most likely due to variability between the field duplicates. Assessment of
results have been based on the concentration of TF’H exceeding ANZECCNHRMC Level B
(or in the case Dutch Level B) criteria and also the Auditors site specific criteria.
The remaining duplicate with an RPD of >50 was for lead in the same sample of fill from test
location G97TP17. This is the same sample as the one with a TPH with an RPD of >50. The
results of analyses were as follows:
Primary Sample
WSL Field Duplicate
AEL Field Duplicate
3500 mgkg
4500 mgkg
14000 mgkg
The variation is considered to be most likely due to sample inhomogeneity.
exceeded the Auditors site specific criteria.
outcome of the assessment.
All results
Therefore the variation does not affect the
12.4 Results of WSL’s Internal Quality Control Testing
The results of the internal quality control testing undertaken by WSL are included in Appendix
D to this report. The internal quality control testing comprised of analysis of spikes and duplicates. A total of 44 spike analysis and 66 duplicate analysis were undertaken. Spikes and duplicates were analysed for approximately 10% of all samples analysed. Spike and duplicate results have been expressed as percentage of the expected result. The results of the spike analysis ranged from 84% to 11 1%. Results for duplicates ranged from 90% to 119 YO. The internal quality control results are within the range 75% to 125% which is considered to indicate satisfactory reproducability of laboratory results for quality control purposes.

13. DISCUSSION
13.1 Remedial Works and Contaminant Management
Discussion with the Auditor has indicated that in the two known areas where contaminant
concentrations exceed his site specific criteria there will have to be localised remedial
works. These two areas centre around G97TP13 and G97TP17. It is considered that as the
contaminants of concern are restricted to the layer of fill and that the full layer of fi l l should
be remediated. As the exceedances of the Auditor’s site specific are highly localised, it is
considered that the following approach to remedial works would be appropriate:
Excavate the layer of fill within a 5 m radius centred around G97TP13. Excavation will
be to a nominal depth of 0.6 m to remove the elevated concentrations of copper; and
Excavate the layer of fill within a 5 m radius centred around G97TP17. Excavation will
be to a nominal depth of 0.7 m to remove the elevated concentrations of lead and
petroleum hydrocarbon.
The material excavated from both these areas will have to be disposed off site as Prescribed
Waste. In the case of material excavated from G97TP17, this may require fixation because
of the leachability of the lead. An alternative is to treat the material on site in a manner that
will satisfy the Auditor. This could involve mixing the material with sufficient cement to
reduce its leachability to meet Low Level Contaminated Soil Criteria. The fixed waste
could then be placed under a building. However, this is subject to approval of the Auditor.
Following the excavation of the two areas, the Auditor is likely to require validation
sampling and analysis to confirm that residual contaminant concentrations at the boundary
of the excavations are below the site specific criteria and that no further excavation works
are required.
If the excavations are to be backfilled suitable fil l sourced from the site can be used.
Following redevelopment, in areas where potentially contaminated fil l may be present in
areas not covered by roadway, pavement or buildings, a layer of clean soil will need to be
placed. These areas are typically areas where landscaping is to occur. The Auditor has
indicated that it will be acceptable to cover these areas with a 0.3 m layer of clean soil. The
clean soil used should meet contaminant concentrations specified for Fill Material outlined
in EPA Iffortnation Bttlletin, Classification of Wastes, Publication 448 (Reference 1 1).

13.2 Health and Environmental Impact
The health and environmental impacts have been assessed based on the results of the two
stages of investigation and proposed remedial works.
13.2.1 Health Considerations
Works are to be undertaken to remediate the two areas where known concentrations of
contaminants exceed the Site Specific criteria developed by the Auditor. This will involve
the excavation and off site disposal of the contaminated soil and fill or treatment in a
manner acceptable to the Auditor. As a result there will be no known exceedances of the
NEHF Health Investigation Levels for commercial use in the existing fill or underlying
natural soil at Lot 10 unless the soil has been treated to the requirement of the Auditor.
Although ‘hot spots’ may be present, these will be addressed by the addition of a separation
layer. This will separate the users of the site from potentially elevated contaminant
concentrations and may be in the form of building, pavement or a layer of clean soil. In
addition, an ongoing contaminant management plan will be developed and implemented to
address any works such as maintenance works which may breach the separation layer. This
approach will also address the one exceedence of NEHF Health Based Investigation Levels
for open space that will not be addressed by remediation.
In view of these measure which are to be implemented as part of site development, it is
considered that the residual contamination at the site will not affect the health of site users.
13.2.2 Environmental Impact
The results of the assessments indicate generally low contaminant concentrations present in
the natural soil. This indicates minimal evidence of leaching of potential contaminants into
the natural soil from the overlying layer of fill. The results of the elutriation testing are
generally low and indicate low potential for to leaching from the layer of fi l l to occur. The
result of elutriation testing undertaken on two samples of fi l l recovered from G97TP17
indicate the lead in the fill is mobile and could potentially leach into the underlying natural
soil. However, a review of the total concentration of lead in the underlying sample of
natural soil demonstrates that this has not occurred.

In addition, measures are to be implemented which will reduce the environmental impact of
the identified contaminant concentrations include:
undertaking remediation of two hot spots
covering most of the site with buildings or pavements
covering remaining areas with a minimum 0.3 m layer of clean soil that meets EPA Fill
Material criteria.
As result, all areas where site fill remains will be covered. Therefore there is considered to
be little opportunity for dust generated from particularly the site fill to impact on the
~ environment.
Also, in view of the depth of groundwater and the generally low leachability of the
contaminants, there is considered to be little opportunity for contamination associated with
the layer of fill at the site to impact on the groundwater following remedial works. However,
the measures outlined will also reduce infiltration of rain and surface water thereby further
reducing the potential for contaminants leached from the fill at the site to contaminate
groundwater.
The layer of clean soil imported into areas where landscaping is to occur will also provide
protection for plants that have their root zone founded in this material.
Therefore, in view of the measures to be implemented with respect to environmental issues,
it is therefore considered that the residual contamination at site will have minimal impact on
the environment.
14. CONCLUSION
Overall, it is considered that the results of the Preliminary and Stage 2 contamination
assessments indicate the need for the localised remedial works. In particular, these works
would involve:
Excavation and remediation of two areas of Prescribed Waste; and
Importation of a minimum 0.3 m layer of soil that meets EPA Fill Material Criteria to
cover areas not already covered by buildings or pavements.

It is considered that following these works the site will be suitable for its proposed use as a
police and courts complex providing a contaminant management plan for the site is in place.
The contaminant management plan will address issues that may arise during site
development and during maintenance activities that could breach the separation layer above
the potentially contaminated fill.
It is recommended that this report is submitted to the Auditor for his review and
confirmation that this approach is acceptable. The likely outcome of the Audit is expected to
be a Statement of Environmental Audit with conditions. The conditions are likely to address
issues regarding
Materials suitable for a separation layer and thickness of the separation layer.
Procedures for dealing with potentially significant contamination encountered during
construction in areas, not identified in part of this assessment. For example, this could
include the finding of an underground tank, an area of odorous contaminated soil or other
unexpected highly contaminated area.
0 Procedures for informing workers exposed to contaminated soil at the site of
precautionary measures required to protect their health.
0 Keeping of records relating to the management of contaminated material encountered
during contraction.
The specific conditions included in the Auditor’s Statement will form the basis for further
requirements related to soil contamination at the site.

1. INTRODUCTION
The City of Brimbank has subdivided and is proposing to sell the area at the northern end of
the former Massey Ferguson site in Ballarat Road, Sunshine (Figure 1). The area has been
subdivided into two lots (Lot 7 and Lot 10) with associated roadway easements (Figure 2). It
is understood that the Department of Justice are proposing to develop a police station and
court complex on Lot 10 which is the eastern of the two lots.
Golder Associates Pty Ltd has been commissioned by Atkinson Project Management on
behalf of the Department of Justice to undertake a Stage 2 contamination assessment of the
Lot 10 (the site) which is understood to comprise an area of 1.97 hectares. This stage of
works is being undertaken as part of the process leading to a Statement of Environmental
Audit for Lot 10. The Environmental Audit that will be undertaken is a statutory process and
will completed in accordance Section 57AA of the Environment Protection Act, 1970. It is
understood the Environmental Auditor that has been engaged to complete the Audit is Mr
Rick Graham of Sinclair Knight Merz.
The site is currently vacant. Land to the south and west is currently being developed for
commercial purposes.
The purpose of this Stage 2 contamination assessment is to provide the Auditor with
additional information regarding the contamination status of the site. This will allow
0 recommendations to be made as to the extent of clean up works, if required;
0 the development of a contaminant management plan to manage contamination that may
remain on site or be encountered during future site development works; and
0 the completion of the Environmental Audit of the site (subject to any further
requirements of the Auditor).
This work plan briefly sets out background information about the Massey Fergusson site
and the previous assessment work. It also outlines the proposed works to be completed for
this Stage 2 assessment.

2. BACKGROUND
2.1 General Site History
The site history for Lot 10 is discussed as part earlier assessment reports (References 1, 2, 3 &
4). The history is based extensively on the "Massey Ferguson Site Study, Stage 2 Report",
January 1987 researched and compiled by Melbourne's Living Museum of the West
Incorporated.
The Massey Ferguson property has been occupied by agricultural machinery manufacturers
since 1889 including the H V McKay Harvester Company from 1904 to 1955 and
subsequently Massey Ferguson until 1986.
The original subdivision of the area occurred in 1850. In 1889 the Braybrook (Agricultural)
Implement Company was established on the property. In 1904 this company was bought out
by the H.V. McKay Harvester Company from Ballarat which manufactured the "Sunshine
Harvester". The operations of Sunshine Harvester Works expanded to occupy the current
property and parts of the surrounding area. In 1955 the "Works" were purchased by Massey
Ferguson who ultimately scaled down production at the property in the 1970s and 1980s
culminating in closure of the property in 1986 and subsequent demolition of most of the
buildings on the property in 1991.
Figure 3 shows final uses for various areas as identified by OlConnor Wargon Chapman, who
were responsible for demolition work at the property. Shown in brackets on the plan are
various earlier or more specific uses of the area identified by Mr. D. McKay a former
employee of the factory who was interviewed as part of the site history research.
Uses of parts of the property included foundries, metal and wood manufacturing and
processing areas, agncultural and equipment assembly area, paint dips, paint shops,
warehouses and both open and undercover storage areas.
The north east area of the property encompassing Lot 10 was known as the "Northern
Paddock'' with an area of about 6 hectares. The remainder of the property covers an area of
about 18 hectares and until the early 1990s was mainly occupied by factory buildings. At the
time of this assessment all of the buildings on the entire Massey Ferguson property had been
demolished except the Bulk Store in the southern part of the property.

A creek originally crossed the property from Anderson Road to Hampshire Road near Hertford
Road. This was subsequently diverted to an underground drain which crossed beneath the
property. More recently, creek flows upstream of the site have been diverted into a drain along
Anderson Road.
2.2 Site History for Lot 10
The overall Massey Ferguson property has been used for the manufacture of agncultural
equipment since 1889. A review of aerial photographs from 1946, 1956, 1964 and 1981
indicates that the area of Lot 10 changed very little in this period.
The buildings and features in Lot 10 generally remained as shown on Figure 3. The
improvements included a large storage building covering much of the northern part of Lot 10,
two railway lines entering the Lot 10 area from the west and general open and covered storage
areas covering the remainder of the area. The open areas appeared to be unpaved throughout
this time. It is understood that the store and storage areas were used for the storage of raw
materials for the plant including timber and metal.
Virtually every component required in the manufacture of the agricultural machinery produced
was manufactured on the site by a range of wood and metal working processes. The railway
lines on the site were used to transport in the raw materials and transport out finished
machinery products. Large stockpiles of raw materials and finished products were maintained
on the site. The aerial photographs indicate such stockpiles along the railway in Lot 10.
The storage building was demolished and some of the railway lines were removed in the
1980s before the remainder of the Massey Fergusson site building; which were demolished
in the early 1990s. Since then the site has remained vacant.

2.3 Previous Assessment Works
Previous investigation work undertaken in 199 1 included Lot 10. Specifically, Lot 10
comprises the north east portion of Lot 1 of the subdivision at the time of the 1991
investigation. Test pits that were excavated as part of the investigation works undertaken for
the assessment located on the now Lot 10 are shown on Figure 4. A total of 10 test pits were
excavated on an approximate 50 m gnd; test pits were numbered 4, 5, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 18,
19 and 20.
The findings of the assessment are outlined in the Golder Associates report Preliminary
Contamination Assessment, Massey Fergusson Site, Sunshine, Victoria, October 1991
(Reference 1). A review of the previous investigation works undertaken on Lot 10 with
regard to the proposed development was completed by Golder Associates in March 1997
(Reference 5). In summary, the review outlined that the initial assessment of Lot 10 camed
out in 1991 indicated that variable fill containing factory wastes overlies natural soil. The
only exceedances of ANZECCNHMRC Level B criteria were for the metals arsenic,
chromium, copper, nickel and zinc in the fill and chromium and zinc in the natural soil.
Only one exceedance of Dutch Level C Criteria was found. This occurred in a sample of fill
where the zinc concentration was elevated.
Further the review found that based on the results of the 1991 assessment, Lot 10 is
considered suitable for general commercial or industrial uses and more specifically for a
police station and courts complex providing a contaminant management plan is put in place.
In general, this would require that a minimum thickness of 300 mm of soil should be placed
over the existing materials in areas that are not covered by buildings or pavements to
provide a separation layer between site users and potentially contaminated materials. Also,
although no underground tanks are believed to be present, it is possible that such tanks or
similar sub-surface features or localised undiscovered areas of contamination could exist on
the site. In the event that these are found during development works on the site, they should
be removed and validation sampling and analysis of remaining soil should be undertaken to
demonstrate that contaminant levels are suitably low. Also, an on-going contaminant
management plan should be implemented. This would address issues such as maintenance
of the separation layer.
Any soil imported onto the site as a separation layer should meet the requirements for “Fill
Material” as outlined in the EPA Bulletin 448 Classijication of Wastes (Reference 6).
Golder Associates 138 of 229
October, 1997 -5- 966136801202
The review further outlined that any soil removed from Lot 10 must be disposed in
accordance with the requirements of EPA Bulletin 448 Classification of Wastes (Reference
6 ) *
It was outlined that provided the site is not to be re-zoned to a sensitive land use such as
residential use, or the council has no such requirements, there is no statutory requirement
that Lot 10 undergo an Environmental Audit. However, a statutory Environmental Audit
can be undertaken to demonstrate and give added surety that a site is suitable for its
intended purpose. This has been or is being done on most, if not all of the remainder of the
Massey Fergusson site.
Given the history of the Massey Ferguson site, a Statement of Environmental Audit should
be obtained in order to demonstrate with a high level of confidence that Lot 10 is suitable
for use as a police station and courts complex. This should be done as part of the re-
development process. The recommended approach initially involved completing a Stage 2
contamination assessment of Lot 10 prior to any re-development. The scope of the Stage 2
assessment is subject to confirmation with the Auditor.
3. SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work developed for this Stage 2 contamination assessment is based on a 30 m
sampling grid. This sampling grid is consistent with the general gnd over main part of the
Massey Fergusson site.
The broad scope of work for the Stage 2 Assessment for Lot would involve the following:
Development of a formal work plan and a quality assurance program for the
assessment incorporating for comment by the Auditor.
Implementation of the work plan including field investigation and chemical
analysis.
Preparation of an assessment report.
Liaison with the Auditor at all stages.
Golder Associates 139 of 229
October, 1997 -6- 966136801202 ~
It should be noted that investigation of groundwater has not been considered in the scope of
work based on the previous observation by Golder Associates and Sinclair Knight Men that
the contamination on the site is unlikely to impact significantly on the groundwater.
4. PROPOSED FIELD SAMPLING PROGRAMME
Assessment works will generally be undertaken in accordance with procedures outlined in
the Draft Australian Standard for the Sampling of Potentially Contaminated Soil (Reference
7). Sampling will be undertaken in accordance with Golder Associates sampling protocols
relating to soil sampling. A copy of the Golder Associates technical procedure relating to
soil sampling is included as Appendix A.
It is intended that the proposed sampling programme will supplement the data already
collected. The field investigation will involve excavating test pits using a backhoe to
achieve an approximate 30 m grid across the site, with additional samples placed in areas of
potential concern. Samples will therefore be recovered from a further 20 locations in areas
not previously sampled to produce an approximate 30 m sampling gnd (Figure 4). Samples
will generally be recovered from two depths at each location (nominally 0.0 and 0.5 m
depths). It is anticipated that these samples will generally be samples of fill. At five
locations, a third sample will be recovered, nominally from a depth of 1.0 m in the natural
soil. It is anticipated that at least 45 samples will be recovered for analysis.
All soil samples will be given a unique sample number which will include the test location
and a number commencing at 1 through to n, where n is the number of samples retrieved
from the test location. The test pits will be numbered G97TP1 through to G97TP20. For
example, if three samples are recovered G97TP1 the samples would be labelled G97TP1/1,
G97TP1/2 and G97TP1/3. Soil samples will also be labelled with sample depths, the job
number (96613680), and the sample date.
All soil samples will be screened for the presence of volatile organic hydrocarbons using a
photoioisation detector. Where PID readings are detected at concentrations above 15 ppm
then vial samples will be collected for volatile hydrocarbon analysis.
Following the completion of the sampling programme the test pit locations will be surveyed
in order to allow them to be relocated should this be necessary.

5. ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
The assessment criteria that will be used for the project will be developed by the Auditor.
However, the results of chemical analyses of soil samples collected during this investigation
will initially be compared with published Australian criteria in order to assess the severity of
contamination of soil at the site.
The general criteria that will be used are presented in the Australian and New Zealand
Guidelines for the Assessment and Management of Contaminated Sites, January 1992
(ANZECC/NHMRC Guidelines) (Reference 8). Specifically, the criteria are
ANZECC/NHMRC Level B guidelines which are environmental investigation levels, and
exceedances are considered to indicate the need for further investigation and assessment of the
contamination.
The ANZECC/NHMRC guidelines indicate that where no ANZECC/NHMRC Level B criteria
exists, the Dutch Level B (Reference 9) should be used as a threshold value for environmental
concerns. Dutch Proposed Intervention Values have also been used in this report as a further
point of comparison (Reference 10).
Contaminant concentrations below ANZECC/NHMRC Level B (or Dutch Level B) are
generally considered as suitable for any beneficial use. Contaminant concentrations above
these levels require further site specific assessment of their health and environmental impact,
with the nature of the proposed land use being an important factor in determining acceptable
contaminant concentrations. As a general guide, contaminant concentration levels above the
ANZECC/NHMRC Level B (or Dutch Level B), but below the Dutch Proposed Intervention
Value are generally considered acceptable for land intended for commercial or industrial uses.
Depending on site specific factors, higher contaminant concentrations may also be tolerable. '

polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and
total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs).
.. .
Five samples will be analysed for the full EPA screen which in addition to the analysis
outlined above would also include analysis for
0 the metals antimony, beryllium, cobalt, molybdenum, selenium and tin
total phenolics
0 chlorinated hydrocarbons
organochlorine pesticides
0 monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (MAHs) and
0 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
Additionally six samples will be analysed for pentachlorophenol.
Selected samples will have elutriation testing for metals undertaken. However, samples will
be selected based on the maximum concentrations (total) and will occur once the
preliminary analytical results have been reviewed.
7. QUALITY ASSURANCE
Approximately 10% of the samples retrieved will be split in the field and relabelled with
dummy sample numbers for use for quality assurance purposes as required. Approximately
45 samples are expected to be collected as part of the sampling programme. Therefore
approximately 5 samples are expected be retrieved for quality assurance purposes. The
dummy sample number will be consecutive. For example if a field duplicate is to be made
of the third sample collected from G97TP1 (G97TP113) then the sample number assigned to
the duplicate will be G97TP1/4.
The quality assurance programme will include the analysis of the field duplicates and is
outlined below.

TECHNICAL PROCEDURE No. 1 SOIL SAMPLING
1.0 PURPOSE OF TECHNICAL PROCEDURE
To enable recovery of a representative sample(s) of site soil from a known location(s) and depth(s) in a manner which is consistent and which minimises any risk of the sample not being representative.
2.0 APPLICABILITY OF TECHNICAL PROCEDURE
This technical procedure applies to sampling of soil for the purpose of chemical analysis by means of hand tools or assisted by mechanical excavators or drilling rigs. It applies to field engineers, geologists or technicians undertaking soil sampling activities.
3.0 DEFINITIONS
Soil Sampling Programme - The term soil sampling programme refers to the document which provides information on the site from which soil is to be sampled, the number of samples and sampling locations, and the intended chemical analysis of samples. This may be the Field Brief, Specific Work Instruction or Site Specific Work Plan, and should be issued in conjunction with a General Health and Safety Plan or Site Specific Health and Safety Plan. The instructions set out in the soil sampling programme should be adhered to. Any deviations from the soil sampling programme will require the approval of the Golder Associates project manager.
3.0 REFERENCES
None cited.
4.0 DISCUSSION OF TECHNICAL PROCEDURE
This procedure should be used by all field staff engaged in sampling soil for chemical analysis.
5.0 RESPONSIBILITIES
Overall responsibility for implementation of this technical procedure rests with the Golder Associates project manager. Direct responsibility for the implementation of this technical procedure rests with the Golder Associates field engineer, geologist or technician.
6.0 FIELD EQUIPMENT LIST
The following is a list of the minimum field equipment that will generally be required for sampling soil:
latex (or equivalent material) gloves phosphate fiee detergent (laboratory grade) distilled or deionised water and spray flasks esky and ice supply laboratory pre-cleaned glass sample jars (screw of twist top) AND/OR glass headspace vials (crimp on caps) with crimper hand sampling tools (sampling scoop, spatula, spade/shovel) crowbar wash buckets (3) and scourers or brushes marking pen (solvent based suitable for w-riting indelibly on glass)
Golder Associates 150 of 229
October, 1997 -A2- 96613680/301
field logging sheets or notebook chain of custody form measuring tapes (5 metre and 30 metre or equivalent lengths) site plan and other necessary information as provided in the soil sampling programme
Where indicated by the soil sampling programme, additional equipment will be provided. This equipment may include the following:
site health and safety equipment (eg. respirators; latex gloves; flammable gas detectors; draeger-type pump and colorimetric tubes) field monitoring equipment (eg. organic vapour detectors/analysers)
7.0 GENERAL SITE PROCEDURES
7.1 Equipment Cleaning and Handling
All equipment should be placed on a clean plastic groundsheet or within a vehicle (eg. van) and not on bare ground. All sampling tools should be cleaned on site prior to recovering any soil samples and subsequently between recovering each soil sample and prior to leaving the site using the cleaning procedure set out below. Latex gloves are to be worn whilst cleaning equipment and when handling cleaned equipment. Cleaned equipment is to be rested on a groundsheet or on plastic sheeting within a vehicle and not on bare ground. All used gloves and other wastes generated by sampling are to be collected and removed from the site for appropriate disposal.
EQUIPMENT CLEANING PROCEDURE Initial wash in tap water to remove adhered dirt Second wash in tap water and detergent solution (phosphate free, laboratory grade detergent such as Decon 90) Rinse in tap water Final rinse with distilled or deionised water
7.2 Location of Sampling Points
The instructions for location of sampling points provided in the soil sampling programme should be adhered to. The required sampling points should be located to an accuracy within 3 metres radius of the locations specified in the soil sampling programme. The locations of all sampling points should be measured by means of graduated tape from permanent features marked on the site plan and recorded. Where physical barriers, underground or overhead hazards or similar circumstances prevent soil sampling, the sampling point may be moved but kept as close as practicable to the origmally proposed location.
Golder Associates 151 of 229
October, 1997 -A3- 966 13680/301
8.0 GENERAL SAMPLE HANDLING PROCEDURES
A clean pair of latex gloves should be worn whilst recovering each soil sample. The area from which the soil sample is to be removed (or the sample itself upon removal) should first be screened using a photoionisation detector. The results of the screening should be recorded on the field log. A cleaned piece of equipment should be used to recover each soil sample. Soil samples may be handled with gloved hands (clean gloves) to assist with placing samples into jars etc. Recovered soil samples should be placed immediately into glass jars and sealed with screw or twist top lids OR recovered soil samples should be placed in glass headspace vials and the seal crimped on. Each sample jar should be labelled using a solvent based marking pen on the side of the jar and on the lid of the jar OR on the side of the headspace vial and on the lid of the headspace vial as follows:
Golder Associates Job Number Sample Location Number (eg. borehole or test pit identification number) Sample Identification Number Sample Recovery Depth Date
Due to the general small size of headspace vials, which precludes large amounts of information being written on them, the minimum information to be provided on the lid and the side of a headspace vial is as follows:
Job Number Sampling Location Number Sample Identification Number
The visual contamination of the sample should be assessed and recorded in the field log book. A written record of the recovery of each sample should be kept and will contain the information outlined above regarding the location, depth, and identification numbers of soil samples. As specified by the soil sampling programme documentation, a field soil log should be kept of each borehole, augerhole or test pit. Sample recovery information should be noted on the field soil log including the PID screening results and the contamination ranking. Where a field soil log is not required for a specific job, the minimum record of field soil conditions should be a description and soil classification for each recovered sample which is to be kept in the field note book and a copy place on the job file. The sample recovery details should also be recorded on the chain of custody form. The minimum information to be recorded on this form is as follows:
Date Sample Location Number Sample Identification Number Sample Recovery Depth Chemical Analysis Request (may be completed in the field or in the office)
Recovered soil samples should be placed on ice in an esky and stored in this manner until delivery to the analytical laboratory or return to Golder Associates office where they will be stored under rehgeration until delivery to the analytical laboratory. Sample holding time in the Golder Associates office is not to exceed 48 hours.

9.0 SAMPLING SOIL FROM EXCAVATED TEST PITS
The procedures set out below apply to soil sampling from test pits which have been excavated using a backhoe.
TO RECOVER THE SOIL SAMPLE FROM WITHIN THE TEST PIT PROCEED AS FOLLOWS:
- put on a clean pair of latex gloves use a spatula or the side of a shovel to scrape surface material from the side of - the test pit, scraping vertically from top to bottom of the desired sampling interval to expose undisturbed soil use a sampling scoop to recover a discrete soil sample at the required depth from the side of the test pit which has been scraped
if additional soil samples are required from different depths, use a new or cleaned sampling scoop to recover each additional sample from the scraped side of the test pit
recovered from the side of the test pit. Unless otherwise specified in the soil sampling programme, the reference point for depth measurements should be the ground surface If it is deemed that the test pit should not be entered then the soil samples should be recovered from the backhoe or excavator bucket
- place the recovered soil sample in a glass jar and seal the jar with a lid
- use a measuring tape to establish the sampling depths for each discrete sample
TO RECOVER THE SOIL SAMPLE FROM THE BACKHOE BUCKET, PROCEED AS FOLLOWS :
put on a clean pair of latex gloves direct the equipment operator to scrape material from the base of the test pit at the required depth into the backhoe bucket use a sampling scoop to recover material from the backhoe bucket. A number of small soil portions should be recovered from various locations within the mass of material in the backhoe bucket and transferred to a glass jar. Sample portions should be recovered from the centre of the soil mass and not from the bucket walls
operator should knock out as much of the material in the backhoe or excavator bucket as possible prior to obtaining the next sample of material use a new or cleaned sampling scoop to recover each new soil sample from the backhoe bucket use a measuring tape lowered into the test pit to establish the depths from which material was sampled into the backhoe or excavator bucket
- if additional samples are required from different depths, the equipment
FOR EACH RECOVERED SAMPLE: Label the sample jar as previously specified Place the sample jar on ice in the esky Record the sample recovery details on the field soil log or in the field notebook as previously specified Fill in the Chain of Custody form as previously specified Record the soil conditions on the field soil log or in the field notebook On completion of the test pit, backfill the pit with excavated material and compact material by wheel rolling with the backhoe. Mound excess earth over the test pit.

APPENDIX F
Important Information About Your Environmental Site Assessment
Golder Associates 215 of 229
These notes have been prepared by Golder Associates Pty. Ltd. using guidelines prepared by ASFE; The Association of Engineering Finns Practicing in the Geosciences, of which Golder Associates is a member. They are offered to help you in the interpretation of your Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) reports.
REASONS FOR CONDUCTING AN E S A
=A'S are typically, though not exclusively, carried out in the following circumstances:
0 As pre-acquisition assessments, on behalf of either purchaser or vendor, when a property is to be sold; as predevelopment asSeJsments, when a property or area of land is to be redeveloped or have its use changed, for example, from a factory to a residential subdivision; as pre-development assessments of greenfield sites, to establish 'baseline' conditions and assess environmental, geological and hydrol&cal constraints to the development of. for example, a landfill; and as audits of the environmental effects of an ongoing operation.
0
0
0
Each of these circumstances requires a specific approach to the assessment of soil and groundwater contamination. in all cases, however, the objective is to identify and if possible quantify the risks which ~ n r e ~ ~ g n i s e d contamination poses to the proposed activity. Such risks may be both financial, for :xample. clean-up costs or limitations on site use, and hysical. for example, health risks to site users or the Jublic.
IBE LIMlTATIONS OF AN ESA
Uthough the information provided by an €SA can -educe exposure to such nsks . no €SA. however iiligently c a m 4 out. can eliminate them. Even a igorous professional assessment may fail to detect all notamination on a site. Contaminants may be p-t n artas that were not surveyed or sampled. or may nigratc to arcas which showed no signs of nontarnioation when sampled.
AN ESA REPORT Is BASED ON A UNIQUE SET OF PROJECT SPECIFIC FACTORS
Your environmental report should not be used:
0 When the aature of the proposed development is changed, for example, if a residential development is proposed insttad of a commercial one; when the size or configuration of the proposed development is altered: when the location or orientation of the proposed structure is modified; when there is a change of ownership; or for the application to an adjacent site.
0
d
0
0
To help avoid costly problems, refer to your consultant to determine how any factors which have changed subsequent to the date of the report may affect its recommendations.
ESA "FINDINGS" ARE PROFESSIONAL ESTIMATES
Site assessment identifies actual subsurface conditions only at hose points where samples are taken, when they are taken. Data derived through sampling and subsequent laboratory testing are interpreted by geologists, engineers or scientists who then render an opinion about overall subsurface conditions, the nature and extent of contamination. its likely impact on the proposed development and appropriate remediation me.asum. Actual conditions may differ from those inferred to exist, because no professional, no mattcr how qualified. and no subsurface exploration program. DO matter how comprehensive, can reveal what is hidden by earth, rock and time. The actual interface bemeen materials may be far more gradual or abrupt than a report indicates. Actual conditions in spas not sampled may differ from predictions. Nothing can be done to preveot the unanticipated, but steps can be &en to help minimix its impact. For this reason. wries should retain the services of their consultaots hrough he development stage, to identify variations. xmduct additional e t s which m y be needed, and to -ecommeod solutions to problems encountered on site.
216 of 229
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS CAN CHANGE
Subsurface conditions are changed by natural processes and the activity of man. Because an ESA =port is based on conditions which existed at the time of subsurface exploration, decisions should not be based on an ESA report whose adequacy may have been affected by time. Speak with the consultant to l a m if additional tests are advisable.
I
ESA SERVICES ARE PERFORMED FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES AND PERSONS
Every study and ESA report is prepared in response to a specific Brief to meet the specific needs of specific individuals. A report prepared for a consulting civil engineer may not be adequate for a construction contractor. or even some other consulting civil engineer. A report should not be used by other persons for any purpose, or by the client for a different purpose. No individual other than the client should apply a report even apparently for its intended purpose without first conferring with the consultant. No person should apply a rkport for any purpose other than that originally contemplated without first conferring with the consultant.
AN ESA REPORT IS SUBJECT TO MISINTERPRETATION
Costly problems can occur when design professionals develop their plans based on misinterpretations of an ESA. To help avoid these problems, the environmental consultant should be retained to work with appropriate design professionals to explain relevant Findings and to review the adequacy of their plans and specifications relative to contamination issues.
LOGS SHOULD NOT BE SEPARATED FROM THE ENGINEERING REPORT
Final borehole or test pit logs are developed by environmental scientists. engineers or geologists based upon their interpretation of field logs (assembled by site personnel) and laboratory evaluation of field samples.
Only final logs are customarily included in our reports. These logs should not under any circumstances be redrawn for inclusion in site remediation or other design drawings, because drafters may commit errors or omissions in the transfer process. Although photographic reproduction eliminates this problem, it does nothing to minimise the possibility of contractors. misinterpreting the logs during bid preparation. when this occurs, delays, disputes and unanticipated costs are the all-too-frequent result.
To reduce the likelihood of boring log misinterpretation, the complete report must be available to persons or organisations involved in the project, such as contractors, for their use. Those who do not provide such access may proceed under the mistaken impression that simply disclaiming responsibility for the accuracy of subsurface information always insulates them from attendant liability. Providing all the available information to persons and organisations such as contractors helps prevent costly construction problems and the adversarial attitudes which may aggravate them to disproportionate scale.
READ RESPONSIBILITY CLAUSES CLOSELY
Because an ESA is based extensively on judgement and opinion, it is necessarily less exact than other disciplines. This situation has resulted in wholly unwarranted claims being lodged against consultants. To help prevent this problem, model clauses have been developed for use in written transmittals. These are not exculpatory clauses designed to foist liabilities onto some other party. Rather. they are definitive clauses which identify where your consultant’s responsibilities begin and end. Their use helps all parties involved recognise their individual responsibilities and take appropriate action. Some of these definitive clauses are likely to appear in your ESA report, and you are encouraged to read them closely. Your consultant will be pleased to give full and frank answes to your questions.
