Report on Intrusive Contamination Investigation
Proposed Commercial Development
Part of 11 Talavera Road, Macquarie Park, NSW
1. Introduction
This report presents the results of an intrusive contamination investigation undertaken for a commercial development at part of 11 Talavera Road, Macquarie Park, NSW. The investigation was commissioned in an email dated 22 January 2017 by Ms Iulia Brooks of Donald Cant Watts Corke Pty Ltd on behalf of Dexus Funds Management Limited and was undertaken in accordance with Douglas Partners' (DP) proposal SYD161520Rev1, dated 20 January 2017. It is understood that the proposed development comprises the construction of a commercial building with four below ground levels of car parking. This contamination investigation is required for development application purposes and is limited to the area of the proposed commercial building, identified as proposed Work Area ‘’1’’, located adjacent to the corner of Talavera and Lane Cove Roads, hereon referred to as ‘’the site’’. The objectives of this contamination investigation were to assess the suitability of the site for the proposed development and to provide recommendations for further work, if required. A preliminary site investigation was completed by DP entitled Report on Preliminary Site Investigation, Proposed Commercial Development, 11 Talavera Road, Macquarie Park, prepared for Donald Cant Watts Corke Pty Ltd (Project 85751.01), dated January 2017 (DP, 2017). This report was completed for the whole of 11 Talavera Road and identified a number of potential contamination issues at the larger site, including fill, underground storage tanks (USTs), substations, oil/water separators, potential hazardous materials, and past manufacturing of electrical products. The report recommended intrusive investigations to assess these potential source areas. A geotechnical investigation was completed in conjunction with this contamination investigation and reported under separate cover. This intrusive contamination investigation utilised the groundwater monitoring well which was installed as part of the geotechnical investigation. 2. Scope of Works
The scope of works for the contamination investigation was as follows:
Conduct service location using an electromagnetic sweep and dial-before-you-dig plans as a precautionary measure;
Complete five boreholes using hand auger equipment to depths of between 0.25 m and 0.7 m below ground level (bgl);
Collect soil samples from the boreholes at regular intervals and upon signs of contamination;
Screen soil samples using a photo-ionisation detector (PID) to detect the presence or absence of volatile organic compounds (VOC);
Page 2 of 19
Intrusive Contamination Investigation, Proposed Commercial Development 85751.03.R.001.Rev0Part of 11 Talavera Road, Macquarie Park, NSW February 2017
Develop the groundwater monitoring well (installed as part of the geotechnical investigation) and sample, after stabilisation for three days, using low flow techniques;
Conduct laboratory analysis on six soil samples and one groundwater sample (plus QA/QC samples). Quantitative analysis by NATA accredited laboratories for the following contaminants of potential concern (COPC):
o Heavy metals: arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel and zinc;
o Total recoverable hydrocarbons (TRH) and Monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX: benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, total xylene);
o Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH);
o Total phenols;
o Volatile organic compounds (VOC);
o Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB);
o Organochlorine pesticides (OCP);
o pH and hardness;
o cation exchange capacity;
o Asbestos (sol samples for initial screening purposes); and
o Trip spike and blank for BTEX. Preparation of this report. 3. Site Information
3.1 Identification, Location and Description
The proposed development is located within the north-eastern corner of an existing business park, with the site having frontage to both Talavera Road and Lane Cove Road (refer Drawing 1, Appendix A). The rectangular-shaped site has plan dimensions of approximately 90 m (parallel to Lane Cove Road) by 60 m, covering an area of approximately 5,400 m2 (0.54 hectares). The site property boundaries (parallel to Talavera Road) are oriented at approximately 130 degrees (east of north), relative to Grid North (refer survey plan prepared by RealServe Pty Ltd, reference 61622MN, dated 9/11/2016), and for the purposes of this report north has been assumed to be parallel to Talavera Road. The site steps down to the south towards Lane Cove Road. A two-storey Conference Centre is built on the northern, upper side of the site, and an open-air, fenced tennis court, grassed area and swimming pool are located on the southern, lower side of the site, which is bounded by a high fence. The lower and upper areas of the site are internally linked with two flights of stairs. A disused, stepped, tiled water feature exists between the flight of steps and a fence on the eastern side of the site. The site includes areas of garden on both road frontages, external to the site fence.

Intrusive Contamination Investigation, Proposed Commercial Development 85751.03.R.001.Rev0Part of 11 Talavera Road, Macquarie Park, NSW February 2017
Based upon the provided survey levels (RealServe Pty Ltd, reference 61622MN), the relatively flat, paved upper part of the site is at an elevation of RL52.8 m, and the lower, grassed area of the site (including tennis court and swimming pool) is at an elevation of RL49.0 m Internal access roads and parking spaces are located on the northern and western sides of the site. Grated service pits, assumed to be inspection pits for a stormwater service, were observed in a grassed area within and west of the tennis court, in the southern part of the site near Borehole BH01 (refer Drawing 1).
3.2 Geology
Reference to the Sydney 1:100 000 Geological Series Sheet 9130 (Geological Survey of NSW: Reference 5) indicates that the site is located near the boundary between the Triassic aged Ashfield Shale, the transitional Mittagong Formation, and Hawkesbury Sandstone. The extension / trace of a north-north-east trending regional structural feature, known as the Yarramalong Syncline, is inferred to extend near to the site, with the site inferred to be located on the eastern limb of the syncline. West-dipping faults and sub-vertical, north-north-east trending intrusive dykes have been mapped in nearby road cuttings (near the Lane Cove Road bridge over the M2 Motorway). The Ashfield Shale typically comprises black to dark grey shale and laminite, the Mittagong Formation consists of interbedded shale, laminite and fine grained quartz sandstone, and the underlying Hawkesbury Sandstone typically comprises horizontally bedded and vertically jointed, massive and cross-bedded, medium grained quartz sandstone with a few shale interbeds. The corresponding Sydney 1:100,000 Soils Landscape Series Sheet, prepared by the former NSW Department of Land and Water Conservation, indicates that the soils developed over most of the site belong to the Glenorie soil landscape, whilst the soils developed over the north-eastern corner of the site belong to the Lucas Heights soil landscape. Descriptions of each of these soil landscapes follow, however it is noted that due to past excavation and filling activities associated with prior developments, much of the residual soil profile (overlying the shale) has been extensively modified or removed. The Glenorie soil landscape is described as shallow to moderately deep (<1.0 m) red podzolic soils on crests and moderately deep (0.7 m-1.5 m) red and brown podzolic soils on upper slopes, with a high soil erosion hazard, localised impermeable highly plastic and moderately reactive subsoil. The Lucas Heights soil landscape is described as moderately deep (0.5 m-1.5 m), hardsetting yellow podzolic soils and yellow soloths, with stony, low fertility soils with low available water capacity. The 1:25,000 Acid Sulphate Soil Risk map for Prospect / Parramatta River indicates that the site does not lie within an area known for acid sulphate soils. Other references suggest that the site is not within an area known for soil salinity issues. The ground conditions encountered in the corresponding geotechnical investigation confirmed the presence of the geological formations described above.

3.3 Groundwater
An observation of the local topography suggests that groundwater flow in the immediate vicinity of the site would most likely be in a south-easterly direction towards the Lane Cove River. During the current investigation, the standing water levels (SWL) measured in the well (BH201) was 4.75 m bgl (47.25 mAHD).
3.4 Acid Sulfate Soil
The 1:25,000 Acid Sulphate Soil Risk Mapping indicates that the site is not in an area with an identified risk for acid sulphate soils or within 500 m of an area with an identified risk for acid sulphate soils. 4. Fieldwork and Analysis
4.1 Data Quality Objectives and Project Quality Procedures
This contamination investigation has been devised in general accordance with the seven step data quality objective (DQO) process which is provided in Appendix B, Schedule B2 of NEPC (2013). The DQO process is outlined as follows:
State the problem;
Identify the decision;
Identify inputs into the decision;
Define the boundary of the assessment;
Develop a decision rule;
Specify acceptable limits on decision errors; and
Optimise the design for obtaining data. Referenced sections for the respective DQOs listed above are provided in Appendix C.
4.2 Data Quality Indicators
The performance of the assessment in achieving the DQO was assessed through the application of data quality indicators (DQI) as defined by:
Precision: A quantitative measure of the variability (reproducibility) of data;
Accuracy: A quantitative measure of the closeness of reported data to the “true” value;
Representativeness: The confidence (expressed qualitatively) that data are representative of each media present on the site;
Page 5 of 19
Intrusive Contamination Investigation, Proposed Commercial Development 85751.03.R.001.Rev0Part of 11 Talavera Road, Macquarie Park, NSW February 2017
Completeness: A measure of the useable data from a data collection activity; and
Comparability: The confidence (expressed qualitatively) that data can be considered equivalent for each sampling and analytical event.
Further comments on the DQIs are presented in Appendix C.
4.3 Soil Sampling Locations and Rationale
A total of five sampling locations (boreholes) were completed in accessible areas of the site to provide a limited indication of subsurface conditions. Under the NSW EPA Sampling Design Guidelines 1997, a minimum of 13 sampling locations is recommended to characterise a site of this size (0.5 ha). Given the proposed land use, it is recommended that a sampling density of at least 30% of the EPA recommended density is achieved. Therefore, the investigation included five soil sampling points (38% of the recommended) and one groundwater sample from the monitoring well installed as part of the geotechnical investigation. The bores were positioned primarily for geotechnical investigation purposes and general site coverage, allowing for access constraints. The groundwater monitoring well location was also limited by access constraints and may therefore not be specifically targeting COPC. Intrusive works were conducted on 27 January 2017. Soil samples were collected from all five locations. Groundwater sampling was undertaken on 6 February 2017. Refer to Drawing 1, Appendix A.
4.4 Soil and Groundwater Sampling Procedures
Environmental sampling was performed in accordance with standard operating procedures outlined in the DP Field Procedures Manual. All sampling data was recorded on borehole logs presented in Appendix B and selected samples for laboratory analysis were recorded on DP chain-of-custody (COC) sheets provided in Appendix C. The general soil sampling procedure comprised:
Decontamination of re-useable sampling equipment using a 3% phosphate free detergent (Decon90) and distilled water prior to collecting each sample or use of disposable sampling equipment;
Use of disposable sampling equipment including nitrile gloves and disposable groundwater tubing;
Transfer of samples into laboratory prepared glass jars and bottles (with appropriate preservatives for analytes) and capping immediately with Teflon lined lids;
Labelling of sampling containers with individual and unique identification, including project number, sample identification and sample depth; and
Placement of sample containers and bags into a cooled, insulated and sealed container for transport to the laboratory.
The groundwater level was measured in the well using an interface meter and the well was developed until dry using a submersible pump. The well was allowed to recharge for three days, and then the
Page 6 of 19
Intrusive Contamination Investigation, Proposed Commercial Development 85751.03.R.001.Rev0Part of 11 Talavera Road, Macquarie Park, NSW February 2017
groundwater level was remeasured again, including the measurement of phase separated hydrocarbons (PSH). The well was micro-purged using a low flow pump (Geopump). Field parameters could not be measured as the well volume was insufficient. The sample was collected using the same low flow pump. The sample was placed with a minimum of aeration into preserved bottles. The sample was not filtered in the field due to there being insufficient sample. The sample pump and all non-disposable sampling equipment were decontaminated using Decon90 solution. The management of sample comprised the following:
Placement of the sample in insulated coolers (through the use of ice; topped up as required) until transported to the analytical laboratory; and
COC was maintained at all times and countersigned by the receiving laboratory on transfer of the sample.
Envirolab Services (ELS) Pty Ltd, accredited by NATA, was employed to conduct the primary sample analysis and is required to carry out in-house procedures.
4.5 Analytical Rationale
The analytical scheme was designed to obtain an indication of the potential presence and possible distribution of identified COPC based on information obtained in the previous investigation and the preliminary conceptual site model (CSM) presented in DP (2017). The primary contaminants of concern are metals, TRH, BTEX, PAH, PCB, OCP, OPP, VOC, phenols and asbestos. Soil samples were selected for analysis based on site observations (i.e. odour, staining etc.), and their location within the subsoil strata (i.e. fill or natural), with an emphasis on fill and near surface samples where it would be expected that the bulk of identified COPC would be present.
4.6 Field Quality Assurance and Quality Control
The field QC procedures for sampling were as prescribed in Douglas Partners’ Field Procedure Manual, and are outlined in Appendix C. One field replicate was recovered and analysed for a limited suite of contaminants by means of intra-laboratory analysis. These samples were collected in accordance with standard industry practice and guidelines.

4.7 Laboratory QA / QC
The analytical laboratory (ELS) is accredited by NATA and is required to conduct in-house QA/QC procedures. These are normally incorporated into every analytical run and include reagent blanks, spike recovery, surrogate recovery and duplicate samples. These results are included in the laboratory certificates in Appendix C. The results of the DP assessment of laboratory QA/QC are shown in Appendix C, along with the full laboratory certificates of analysis. 5. Assessment Criteria
The assessment criteria have been sourced from the National Environment Protection Council (NEPC) National Environment Protection Measure (Assessment of Site Contamination) 1999, as amended 2013 (NEPC 2013). The site assessment criteria (SAC) comprise health-based investigation levels (HILs), health screening levels (HSLs), management limits for TRH, groundwater investigation levels (GILs) and groundwater screening levels (GSLs) as detailed below. The laboratory Practical Quantitation Limit (PQL) has also been adopted as a screening level for some contaminants.
5.1 Soils
5.1.1 Health-based Investigation Levels (Non-petroleum Chemical Contaminants)
Table 1 shows the HILs that have been adopted by NEPC (2013) Schedule B1, Table 1A (1) for assessing the human health risk from a contaminant via relevant pathways of exposure, as detailed in the CSM. Table 1 only includes contaminants analysed during this assessment, not the full list provided in NEPC (2013). The proposed development will comprise a commercial building with four below ground levels of car parking; hence the adopted SAC were for commercial / industrial land use.

5.1.2 Petroleum Contaminants (Health Screening Levels and Management Limits)
Health Screening Levels
Table 2 shows petroleum hydrocarbon compounds adopted from NEPC (2013) Schedule B1, Table 1A (3) and are based on the exposure to petroleum hydrocarbons through the dominant vapour inhalation exposure pathway. The screening levels are adopted given the exposure risk identified during the CSM. Based on the proposed development, the relevant and adopted HSL is HSL D, commercial / industrial. The HSLs are based on overlying soil type and depth. HSLs for sand have been used as they are most conservative. Using the most conservative values, the depth range of 0 m to <1 m has been used.

Management Limits (TRH Only)
NEPC (2013) Table 1B (7) provides ‘management limits’ for TRH fractions, which are applied after consideration of relevant HSLs. The management limits have been adopted to avoid or minimise the following potential effects of petroleum hydrocarbons:
Formation of non-aqueous phase liquids (LNAPL);
Fire and explosive hazards; and
Effects on buried infrastructure e.g. penetration of, or damage to, in-ground services by hydrocarbons.
The presence of site TRH contamination at the levels of the management limits does not imply that there is no need for administrative notification or controls in accordance with jurisdictional
Page 10 of 19
Intrusive Contamination Investigation, Proposed Commercial Development 85751.03.R.001.Rev0Part of 11 Talavera Road, Macquarie Park, NSW February 2017
requirements. The adopted management limits are shown in Table 4 and have been selected based on the CSM. Management limits for coarse material are presented in Table 4, since the coarse texture management limits are more conservative of the two management limits available.

5.1.3 Ecological Investigation Levels
Ecological Investigation Levels (EIL) have been derived for selected metals and organic compounds and are applicable for assessing risk to terrestrial ecosystems (NEPC, 2013). EIL depend on specific soil physiochemical properties and land use scenarios and generally apply to the top 2 m of soil, which corresponds to the root zone and habitation zone of many species. The EIL is determined for a contaminant based on the sum of the ambient background concentration (ABC) and an added contaminant limit (ACL). The ABC of a contaminant is the soil concentration in a specific locality that is the sum of naturally occurring background levels and the contaminants levels that have been introduced from diffuse or non-point sources (e.g. motor vehicle emissions). The ACL is the added concentration (above the ABC) of a contaminant above which further appropriate investigation and evaluation of the impact on ecological values is required. The EIL is calculated using the following formula: EIL = ABC + ACL, The ABC is determined through direct measurement at an appropriate reference site (preferred) or through the use of methods defined by Olszowy et al Trace element concentrations in soils from rural and urban areas of Australia, Contaminated Sites monograph no. 4, South Australian Health Commission, Adelaide, Australia 1995 (Olszowy, 1995) or Hamon et al, Geochemical indices allow estimation of heavy metal background concentrations in soils, Global Biogeochemical Cycles, vol. 18, GB1014, (Hamon, 2004). ACL is based on the soil characteristics of pH, CEC and clay content. EIL (and ACLs where appropriate) have been derived in NEPC (2013) for only a short list of contaminants comprising As, Cu, Cr (III), DDT, naphthalene, Ni, Pb and Zn. An Interactive (Excel) Calculation Spreadsheet may be used for calculating site-specific EIL for these contaminants, and has been provided in the ASC NEPM Toolbox available on the SCEW (Standing Council on Environment and Water) website (http://www.scew.gov.au/node/941).

The adopted EIL, derived from Tables 1B (1) to 1B(5), Schedule B1 of NEPC (2013) the Interactive (Excel) Calculation Spreadsheet are shown in the following Table 5. The following site specific data and assumptions have been used to determine the EILs:
The EILs will apply to the top 2 m of the soil profile;
Given the likely source of soil contaminants (i.e. historical site use/fill) the contamination is considered as “aged” (>2 years); and
ABCs have been derived using the Interactive (Excel) Calculation Spreadsheet using input parameters of aged soil, average CEC of 8 and average pH of 6.8 for the State in which the site is located, and high for traffic volumes.

5.1.4 Ecological Screening Levels – Petroleum Hydrocarbons
Ecological Screening Levels (ESL) are used to assess the risk of selected petroleum hydrocarbon compounds, BTEX and benzo(a)pyrene to terrestrial ecosystems. ESL apply to the top 2 m of the soil profile as for EIL. ESL have been derived in NEPC (2013) for petroleum fractions F1 to F4 as well as BTEX and Benzo(a)pyrene. Site specific data and assumptions as summarised in Table 6 have been used to determine the ESL. The adopted ESL, from Table 1B(6), Schedule B1 of NEPC (2013) are shown in Table 7.

5.1.5 Asbestos
Presence / absence testing for asbestos has been conducted as a screening assessment using the laboratory detection limit of 0.1 g / kg. It should be noted that if further asbestos or indicators of asbestos (e.g. significant inclusions of building debris) are observed during future excavations / construction activity, then further assessment and / or management for asbestos in accordance with NEPC (2013) would be recommended.
5.2 Contaminants with No Assessment Criteria
Where no guidance is provided in NEPC (2013) for a specific analyte, the PQL was used as the initial screening criteria. If concentrations are recorded above the PQL, reference criteria will be sourced from other national and international guidance as relevant and used to determine the significance of the detected analyte. The referenced criteria are provided in the results summary tables (Appendix C).

5.3 Groundwater
5.3.1 Groundwater Investigation Levels
The assessment criteria for the groundwater comprises the groundwater investigation levels (GILs) adopted in NEPC (2013) which are based on:
Australian Water Quality Guidelines 2000 (AWQG);
Australian Drinking Water Guidelines 2011 (ADWG);
Guidelines for Managing Risk in Recreational Waters 2008 (GMRRW); and
National water quality management strategy. Australia and New Zealand Guidelines for Fresh and Marine Water Quality 2000 (ANZECC and ARMCANZ).
The adopted GILs for the analytes included in this assessment and the corresponding source documents, are shown in Table 8. Drinking water thresholds have not been adopted as there is no known drinking water receptor in close proximity to the site.

5.3.2 Health Screening Levels – Petroleum Hydrocarbons
The proposed development is a commercial building with four below ground levels of car parking. Therefore, as noted in the footnotes to Table 1A(4) of NEPC (2013), the relevant and adopted HSLs are HSL D, commercial / industrial. In addition, the HSL adopted is predicted on the following inputs prescribed in Table 9. Table 9: Inputs to the Derivation of HSLs
Variable Input Comment
Potential exposure pathway Groundwater vapour intrusion
Exposure pathway via groundwater vapour intrusion affects the adopted HSL
Soil type Sand (in the absence of laboratory particle analysis sand HSL have been adopted as an initial conservative screen), sand being the most conservative soil type
Soil properties including soil saturation porosity affect risk of exposure and are therefore factored into HSLs.
A conservative soil type should be selected where the soil profile is not uniform (NEPC, 2013)
Depth to contamination 2 m to <4 m Initial screening depth
It is noted that with the planned basement excavation, groundwater will be present at the base of the excavation and therefore the depth range noted above will not be applicable. The HSLs adopted have been used as an initial screen to assess the likely significance of volatile contaminants, and the need for further risk assessment and/or management. The adopted groundwater HSL for vapour intrusion, from Table 1A(4), schedule B1 of NEPC (2013) are shown in the following Table 10. Table 10: Groundwater Health Screening Levels (HSL) for Vapour Intrusion (µg/L)

Notes: NL – the solubility limit is defined as the groundwater concentration at which the water cannot dissolve any more of an individual chemical based on a petroleum mixture. The soil vapour which is in equilibrium with the groundwater will be at its maximum. If the derived groundwater HSL exceeds the water solubility limit, a soil-vapour source concentration for a petroleum mixture could not exceed a level that would result in the maximum allowable vapour risk for a given scenario. For these scenarios no HSL is presented for these chemicals. These are denoted as ‘NL’.

5.4 Contaminants with No Assessment Criteria
Where no guidance is provided in NEPC (2013) for a specific analyte, the PQL was used as the initial screening criteria. If concentrations are recorded above the PQL, reference criteria will be sourced from other national and international guidance as relevant and use to determine the significance of the detected analyte. The referenced criteria are provided in the results summary tables (Appendix C). 6. Field Work Observations
6.1 Soil
The borehole logs are provided in Appendix B. Based on the logs, the subsoil conditions encountered in the boreholes were relatively uniform and comprised grey brown and dark brown, silty sand and sand filling with some gravel and trace bitumen, rootlets and silt to refusal depths of between 0.25 m and 0.7 m bgl. Hand auger refusal was met at shallow depths due to the nature of the fill. Anthropogenic material was not encountered in the filling. All PID readings were less than 5 ppm.
6.2 Groundwater
The groundwater level was measured in BH201 at the time of micro-purging and sampling (refer to field sheet presented in Appendix B). Groundwater field measurements are presented in Table 11. Table 11: Groundwater Levels Feb 2017

7. Analytical Results
The results of the laboratory analysis are presented in Tables C1 (soil) and C2 (groundwater), Appendix C. The NATA laboratory reports together with the chain-of-custody and sample receipt information are presented in Appendix C. 8. Discussion of Results
8.1 Soil
The laboratory results (Table C1) indicate that all contaminant concentrations in the soil samples analysed were within the adopted health investigation and screening levels and ecological investigation and screening levels, suggesting a low risk to human health and ecology. Asbestos was not identified in any of the samples tested. Anthropogenic material was not encountered in the filling, hence, the ground conditions encountered do not indicate that there is a substantial risk of asbestos being present in the shallow filling. It is noted, however, that the limitations of hand augering prevented the full depth of fill being penetrated at each bore location. As such, the nature and contamination risk associated with deeper filling is not known.
8.2 Groundwater
The laboratory results (Table C2) indicated that contaminant concentrations in the groundwater sample (BH201) were within the adopted SAC with the exception of the following: Metals:
Copper concentration of 2 µg/L (GIL 1.4 µg/L); and
Zinc concentration of 18 µg/L (GIL 8.0 µg/L).
TRH/BTEX and VOC:
C6-C10 concentration of 14,000 µg/L (GIL 7 µg/L);
Ethylbenzene concentration of 410 µg/L (GIL 80 µg/L);
m + p - xylene concentration of 3,300 µg/L (GIL 350 µg/L);
o- xylene concentration of 1,300 µg/L (GIL 200 µg/L);
Naphthalene concentration of 26 µg/L (GIL 16 µg/L);
1,2,4-trimethyl benzene concentration of 1,400 µg/L (US EPA Regional Screening Levels for Tap water 15 µg/L); and
Chloroform concentration of 10 µg/L (US EPA Regional Screening Levels for Tap water 0.003 µg/L).

Intrusive Contamination Investigation, Proposed Commercial Development 85751.03.R.001.Rev0Part of 11 Talavera Road, Macquarie Park, NSW February 2017
The metal exceedances are not considered to be an issue of concern. The reported copper and zinc concentrations reported above are likely to be redolent of regional background levels or derived from diffuse urban sources of contamination such as drainage, road / pavement runoff, service leakage. The TRH/BTEX and VOC exceedances are considered to be an issue of concern requiring further investigation. 9. Recommendations and Further Assessment
It is recommended that additional soil testing for waste classification purposes be undertaken following demolition of the existing structures. Given the above information, it is likely that the filling will be classifiable as General Solid Waste (non-putrescible) in accordance with the NSW EPA waste classification guidelines (2014) and the underlying natural materials (not encountered during this investigation) would be classifiable as virgin excavated natural material (VENM). Note again, however, the limited depth of sampling achieved during the current investigation. Given the TRH/BTEX and VOC exceedances in the groundwater, it is recommended that additional investigations be conducted to (a) assess the significance of the results, (b) assess the likely source of the identified contaminants and (c) assess the extent of the groundwater impact. Depending on the results of the supplementary groundwater investigations, a soil vapour investigation may be recommended to assess the potential for vapour intrusion into new buildings and/or confined spaces, which may ultimately lead to the requirement for a vapour management system to be incorporated as part of the planning stage.
The additional investigation works proposed below are anticipated to be required to finalise the remediation strategy and scope. It should be noted that the Council may require an EPA accredited Site Auditor be involved as part of the DA process. The Site Auditor would preferably be engaged prior to further investigation to ensure that the Auditor agrees with scope and approach of the further investigation.
It is recommended that the groundwater investigation be commenced as a priority to allow time to collect a sufficient dataset to allow robust assessment of the risks and management requirements. The recommended staged works to support the redevelopment of the site comprise, noting that subsequent recommendations would be dependent on the results of the preceding stages:
Re-sample and test the existing groundwater monitoring well to confirm the initial results;
Investigate the potential source of the groundwater investigation;
Conduct a supplementary groundwater investigation to assess the significance and extent of the groundwater investigation, with a focus on potential risks to the proposed development, dewatering requirements, and the potential for off-site migration of contaminants;
Soil vapour investigation to assess the risk of vapour intrusion; and
Preparation of a RAP, if required, based on the results of the groundwater investigation and the current guidelines and industry standards. The RAP will either detail an active groundwater

remediation process, a source removal and monitoring process, and/or engineered controls (such as a vapour management system).
Based on the current results, DP considers that the site can be rendered suitable for the proposed development subject to additional soil, groundwater soil vapour investigations (if required) and subsequent remediation and / or management (if required). 10. Limitations
Douglas Partners (DP) has prepared this report for this project at part of 11 Talavera Road, Macquarie Park, NSW in accordance with DP’s proposal SYD161520Rev1 dated 20 January 2017 and acceptance received from Ms Iulia Brooks of Donald Cant Watts Corke Pty Ltd dated 22 January 2017. The work was carried out under an extension to the existing agreement (standard Dexus Property Group Consultancy Agreement) for this project only and for the purposes as described in the report. It should not be used by or relied upon for other projects or purposes on the same or other site or by a third party. Any party so relying upon this report beyond its exclusive use and purpose as stated above, and without the express written consent of DP, does so entirely at its own risk and without recourse to DP for any loss or damage. In preparing this report DP has necessarily relied upon information provided by the client and/or their agents. The results provided in the report are indicative of the sub-surface conditions on the site only at the specific sampling and/or testing locations, and then only to the depths investigated and at the time the work was carried out. Sub-surface conditions can change abruptly due to variable geological processes and also as a result of human influences. Such changes may occur after DP’s field testing has been completed. DP’s advice is based upon the conditions encountered during this investigation. The accuracy of the advice provided by DP in this report may be affected by undetected variations in ground conditions across the site between and beyond the sampling and/or testing locations. The advice may also be limited by budget constraints imposed by others or by site accessibility. This report must be read in conjunction with all of the attached and should be kept in its entirety without separation of individual pages or sections. DP cannot be held responsible for interpretations or conclusions made by others unless they are supported by an expressed statement, interpretation, outcome or conclusion stated in this report. This report, or sections from this report, should not be used as part of a specification for a project, without review and agreement by DP. This is because this report has been written as advice and opinion rather than instructions for construction.

Introduction These notes have been provided to amplify DP's report in regard to classification methods, field procedures and the comments section. Not all are necessarily relevant to all reports. DP's reports are based on information gained from limited subsurface excavations and sampling, supplemented by knowledge of local geology and experience. For this reason, they must be regarded as interpretive rather than factual documents, limited to some extent by the scope of information on which they rely. Copyright This report is the property of Douglas Partners Pty Ltd. The report may only be used for the purpose for which it was commissioned and in accordance with the Conditions of Engagement for the commission supplied at the time of proposal. Unauthorised use of this report in any form whatsoever is prohibited. Borehole and Test Pit Logs The borehole and test pit logs presented in this report are an engineering and/or geological interpretation of the subsurface conditions, and their reliability will depend to some extent on frequency of sampling and the method of drilling or excavation. Ideally, continuous undisturbed sampling or core drilling will provide the most reliable assessment, but this is not always practicable or possible to justify on economic grounds. In any case the boreholes and test pits represent only a very small sample of the total subsurface profile. Interpretation of the information and its application to design and construction should therefore take into account the spacing of boreholes or pits, the frequency of sampling, and the possibility of other than 'straight line' variations between the test locations.
Groundwater Where groundwater levels are measured in boreholes there are several potential problems, namely: In low permeability soils groundwater may
enter the hole very slowly or perhaps not at all during the time the hole is left open;
A localised, perched water table may lead to an erroneous indication of the true water table;
Water table levels will vary from time to time with seasons or recent weather changes. They may not be the same at the time of construction as are indicated in the report; and
The use of water or mud as a drilling fluid will mask any groundwater inflow. Water has to be blown out of the hole and drilling mud must first be washed out of the hole if water measurements are to be made.
More reliable measurements can be made by installing standpipes which are read at intervals over several days, or perhaps weeks for low permeability soils. Piezometers, sealed in a particular stratum, may be advisable in low permeability soils or where there may be interference from a perched water table.
Reports The report has been prepared by qualified personnel, is based on the information obtained from field and laboratory testing, and has been undertaken to current engineering standards of interpretation and analysis. Where the report has been prepared for a specific design proposal, the information and interpretation may not be relevant if the design proposal is changed. If this happens, DP will be pleased to review the report and the sufficiency of the investigation work. Every care is taken with the report as it relates to interpretation of subsurface conditions, discussion of geotechnical and environmental aspects, and recommendations or suggestions for design and construction. However, DP cannot always anticipate or assume responsibility for: Unexpected variations in ground conditions.
The potential for this will depend partly on borehole or pit spacing and sampling frequency;
Changes in policy or interpretations of policy by statutory authorities; or
The actions of contractors responding to commercial pressures.
If these occur, DP will be pleased to assist with investigations or advice to resolve the matter.
July 2010
Site Anomalies In the event that conditions encountered on site during construction appear to vary from those which were expected from the information contained in the report, DP requests that it be immediately notified. Most problems are much more readily resolved when conditions are exposed rather than at some later stage, well after the event.
Information for Contractual Purposes Where information obtained from this report is provided for tendering purposes, it is recommended that all information, including the written report and discussion, be made available. In circumstances where the discussion or comments section is not relevant to the contractual situation, it may be appropriate to prepare a specially edited document. DP would be pleased to assist in this regard and/or to make additional report copies available for contract purposes at a nominal charge. Site Inspection The company will always be pleased to provide engineering inspection services for geotechnical and environmental aspects of work to which this report is related. This could range from a site visit to confirm that conditions exposed are as expected, to full time engineering presence on site.

Sampling Sampling is carried out during drilling or test pitting to allow engineering examination (and laboratory testing where required) of the soil or rock. Disturbed samples taken during drilling provide information on colour, type, inclusions and, depending upon the degree of disturbance, some information on strength and structure. Undisturbed samples are taken by pushing a thin-walled sample tube into the soil and withdrawing it to obtain a sample of the soil in a relatively undisturbed state. Such samples yield information on structure and strength, and are necessary for laboratory determination of shear strength and compressibility. Undisturbed sampling is generally effective only in cohesive soils. Test Pits Test pits are usually excavated with a backhoe or an excavator, allowing close examination of the in-situ soil if it is safe to enter into the pit. The depth of excavation is limited to about 3 m for a backhoe and up to 6 m for a large excavator. A potential disadvantage of this investigation method is the larger area of disturbance to the site.
Large Diameter Augers Boreholes can be drilled using a rotating plate or short spiral auger, generally 300 mm or larger in diameter commonly mounted on a standard piling rig. The cuttings are returned to the surface at intervals (generally not more than 0.5 m) and are disturbed but usually unchanged in moisture content. Identification of soil strata is generally much more reliable than with continuous spiral flight augers, and is usually supplemented by occasional undisturbed tube samples. Continuous Spiral Flight Augers The borehole is advanced using 90-115 mm diameter continuous spiral flight augers which are withdrawn at intervals to allow sampling or in-situ testing. This is a relatively economical means of drilling in clays and sands above the water table. Samples are returned to the surface, or may be collected after withdrawal of the auger flights, but they are disturbed and may be mixed with soils from the sides of the hole. Information from the drilling (as distinct from specific sampling by SPTs or undisturbed samples) is of relatively low
reliability, due to the remoulding, possible mixing or softening of samples by groundwater. Non-core Rotary Drilling The borehole is advanced using a rotary bit, with water or drilling mud being pumped down the drill rods and returned up the annulus, carrying the drill cuttings. Only major changes in stratification can be determined from the cuttings, together with some information from the rate of penetration. Where drilling mud is used this can mask the cuttings and reliable identification is only possible from separate sampling such as SPTs.
Continuous Core Drilling A continuous core sample can be obtained using a diamond tipped core barrel, usually with a 50 mm internal diameter. Provided full core recovery is achieved (which is not always possible in weak rocks and granular soils), this technique provides a very reliable method of investigation. Standard Penetration Tests Standard penetration tests (SPT) are used as a means of estimating the density or strength of soils and also of obtaining a relatively undisturbed sample. The test procedure is described in Australian Standard 1289, Methods of Testing Soils for Engineering Purposes - Test 6.3.1. The test is carried out in a borehole by driving a 50 mm diameter split sample tube under the impact of a 63 kg hammer with a free fall of 760 mm. It is normal for the tube to be driven in three successive 150 mm increments and the 'N' value is taken as the number of blows for the last 300 mm. In dense sands, very hard clays or weak rock, the full 450 mm penetration may not be practicable and the test is discontinued. The test results are reported in the following form.
• In the case where full penetration is obtained with successive blow counts for each 150 mm of, say, 4, 6 and 7 as:
4,6,7 N=13
• In the case where the test is discontinued before the full penetration depth, say after 15 blows for the first 150 mm and 30 blows for the next 40 mm as:
15, 30/40 mm
July 2010
The results of the SPT tests can be related empirically to the engineering properties of the soils.
Dynamic Cone Penetrometer Tests / Perth Sand Penetrometer Tests Dynamic penetrometer tests (DCP or PSP) are carried out by driving a steel rod into the ground using a standard weight of hammer falling a specified distance. As the rod penetrates the soil the number of blows required to penetrate each successive 150 mm depth are recorded. Normally there is a depth limitation of 1.2 m, but this may be extended in certain conditions by the use of extension rods. Two types of penetrometer are commonly used.
• Perth sand penetrometer - a 16 mm diameter flat ended rod is driven using a 9 kg hammer dropping 600 mm (AS 1289, Test 6.3.3). This test was developed for testing the density of sands and is mainly used in granular soils and filling.
• Cone penetrometer - a 16 mm diameter rod with a 20 mm diameter cone end is driven using a 9 kg hammer dropping 510 mm (AS 1289, Test 6.3.2). This test was developed initially for pavement subgrade investigations, and correlations of the test results with California Bearing Ratio have been published by various road authorities.
July 2010
Description and Classification Methods The methods of description and classification of soils and rocks used in this report are based on Australian Standard AS 1726, Geotechnical Site Investigations Code. In general, the descriptions include strength or density, colour, structure, soil or rock type and inclusions. Soil Types Soil types are described according to the predominant particle size, qualified by the grading of other particles present:
Type Particle size (mm)
Boulder >200
Cobble 63 - 200
Gravel 2.36 - 63
Sand 0.075 - 2.36
Silt 0.002 - 0.075
Clay <0.002 The sand and gravel sizes can be further subdivided as follows:
Type Particle size (mm)
Coarse gravel 20 - 63
Medium gravel 6 - 20
Fine gravel 2.36 - 6
Coarse sand 0.6 - 2.36
Medium sand 0.2 - 0.6
Fine sand 0.075 - 0.2
The proportions of secondary constituents of soils are described as:
Term Proportion Example
And Specify Clay (60%) and Sand (40%)
Adjective 20 - 35% Sandy Clay
Slightly 12 - 20% Slightly Sandy Clay
With some 5 - 12% Clay with some sand
With a trace of 0 - 5% Clay with a trace of sand
Definitions of grading terms used are:
• Well graded - a good representation of all particle sizes
• Poorly graded - an excess or deficiency of particular sizes within the specified range
• Uniformly graded - an excess of a particular particle size
• Gap graded - a deficiency of a particular particle size with the range
Cohesive Soils Cohesive soils, such as clays, are classified on the basis of undrained shear strength. The strength may be measured by laboratory testing, or estimated by field tests or engineering examination. The strength terms are defined as follows:
Description Abbreviation Undrained shear strength
(kPa)
Very soft vs <12
Soft s 12 - 25
Firm f 25 - 50
Stiff st 50 - 100
Very stiff vst 100 - 200
Hard h >200
Cohesionless Soils Cohesionless soils, such as clean sands, are classified on the basis of relative density, generally from the results of standard penetration tests (SPT), cone penetration tests (CPT) or dynamic penetrometers (PSP). The relative density terms are given below:
Relative Density
Abbreviation SPT N value
CPT qc value (MPa)
Very loose vl <4 <2
Loose l 4 - 10 2 -5
Medium dense
md 10 - 30 5 - 15
Dense d 30 - 50 15 - 25
Very dense
vd >50 >25
July 2010
Soil Origin It is often difficult to accurately determine the origin of a soil. Soils can generally be classified as:
• Residual soil - derived from in-situ weathering of the underlying rock;
• Transported soils - formed somewhere else and transported by nature to the site; or
• Filling - moved by man. Transported soils may be further subdivided into:
• Alluvium - river deposits
• Lacustrine - lake deposits
• Aeolian - wind deposits
• Littoral - beach deposits
• Estuarine - tidal river deposits
• Talus - scree or coarse colluvium
• Slopewash or Colluvium - transported downslope by gravity assisted by water. Often includes angular rock fragments and boulders.
July 2010
Rock Strength Rock strength is defined by the Point Load Strength Index (Is(50)) and refers to the strength of the rock substance and not the strength of the overall rock mass, which may be considerably weaker due to defects. The test procedure is described by Australian Standard 4133.4.1 - 1993. The terms used to describe rock strength are as follows:
Term Abbreviation Point Load Index Is(50) MPa
Approx Unconfined Compressive Strength MPa*
Extremely low EL <0.03 <0.6
Very low VL 0.03 - 0.1 0.6 - 2
Low L 0.1 - 0.3 2 - 6
Medium M 0.3 - 1.0 6 - 20
High H 1 - 3 20 - 60
Very high VH 3 - 10 60 - 200
Extremely high EH >10 >200
* Assumes a ratio of 20:1 for UCS to Is(50) Degree of Weathering The degree of weathering of rock is classified as follows:
Term Abbreviation Description
Extremely weathered EW Rock substance has soil properties, i.e. it can be remoulded and classified as a soil but the texture of the original rock is still evident.
Highly weathered HW Limonite staining or bleaching affects whole of rock substance and other signs of decomposition are evident. Porosity and strength may be altered as a result of iron leaching or deposition. Colour and strength of original fresh rock is not recognisable
Moderately weathered
MW Staining and discolouration of rock substance has taken place
Slightly weathered SW Rock substance is slightly discoloured but shows little or no change of strength from fresh rock
Fresh stained Fs Rock substance unaffected by weathering but staining visible along defects
Fresh Fr No signs of decomposition or staining
Degree of Fracturing The following classification applies to the spacing of natural fractures in diamond drill cores. It includes bedding plane partings, joints and other defects, but excludes drilling breaks.
Term Description
Fragmented Fragments of <20 mm
Highly Fractured Core lengths of 20-40 mm with some fragments
Fractured Core lengths of 40-200 mm with some shorter and longer sections
Slightly Fractured Core lengths of 200-1000 mm with some shorter and loner sections
Unbroken Core lengths mostly > 1000 mm
July 2010
Rock Quality Designation The quality of the cored rock can be measured using the Rock Quality Designation (RQD) index, defined as:
RQD % = cumulative length of 'sound' core sections ≥ 100 mm long total drilled length of section being assessed
where 'sound' rock is assessed to be rock of low strength or better. The RQD applies only to natural fractures. If the core is broken by drilling or handling (i.e. drilling breaks) then the broken pieces are fitted back together and are not included in the calculation of RQD. Stratification Spacing For sedimentary rocks the following terms may be used to describe the spacing of bedding partings:
Term Separation of Stratification Planes
Thinly laminated < 6 mm
Laminated 6 mm to 20 mm
Very thinly bedded 20 mm to 60 mm
Thinly bedded 60 mm to 0.2 m
Medium bedded 0.2 m to 0.6 m
Thickly bedded 0.6 m to 2 m
Very thickly bedded > 2 m

Method ID Methodology Summary
Org-014 Soil samples are extracted with methanol and spiked into water prior to analysing by purge and trap GC-MS.
Org-016 Soil samples are extracted with methanol and spiked into water prior to analysing by purge and trap GC-MS.
Water samples are analysed directly by purge and trap GC-MS. F1 = (C6-C10)-BTEX as per NEPM B1
Guideline on Investigation Levels for Soil and Groundwater.
Org-016 Soil samples are extracted with methanol and spiked into water prior to analysing by purge and trap GC-MS.
Water samples are analysed directly by purge and trap GC-MS. F1 = (C6-C10)-BTEX as per NEPM B1
Guideline on Investigation Levels for Soil and Groundwater.
Note, the Total +ve Xylene PQL is reflective of the lowest individual PQL and is therefore "Total +ve Xylenes"
is simply a sum of the positive individual Xylenes.
Org-003 Soil samples are extracted with Dichloromethane/Acetone and waters with Dichloromethane and analysed by
GC-FID.
F2 = (>C10-C16)-Naphthalene as per NEPM B1 Guideline on Investigation Levels for Soil and Groundwater
(HSLs Tables 1A (3, 4)). Note Naphthalene is determined from the VOC analysis.
Org-003 Soil samples are extracted with Dichloromethane/Acetone and waters with Dichloromethane and analysed by
GC-FID.
F2 = (>C10-C16)-Naphthalene as per NEPM B1 Guideline on Investigation Levels for Soil and Groundwater
(HSLs Tables 1A (3, 4)). Note Naphthalene is determined from the VOC analysis.
Note, the Total +ve TRH PQL is reflective of the lowest individual PQL and is therefore "Total +ve TRH" is
simply a sum of the positive individual TRH fractions (>C10-C40).
Org-012 Soil samples are extracted with Dichloromethane/Acetone and waters with Dichloromethane and analysed by
GC-MS. Benzo(a)pyrene TEQ as per NEPM B1 Guideline on Investigation Levels for Soil and Groundwater -
2013.
For soil results:-
1. ‘TEQ PQL’ values are assuming all contributing PAHs reported as <PQL are actually at the PQL. This is the
most conservative approach and can give false positive TEQs given that PAHs that contribute to the TEQ
calculation may not be present.
2. ‘TEQ zero’ values are assuming all contributing PAHs reported as <PQL are zero. This is the least
conservative approach and is more susceptible to false negative TEQs when PAHs that contribute to the TEQ
calculation are present but below PQL.
3. ‘TEQ half PQL’ values are assuming all contributing PAHs reported as <PQL are half the stipulated PQL.
Hence a mid-point between the most and least conservative approaches above.
Note, the Total +ve PAHs PQL is reflective of the lowest individual PQL and is therefore" Total +ve PAHs" is
simply a sum of the positive individual PAHs.
Org-005 Soil samples are extracted with dichloromethane/acetone and waters with dichloromethane and analysed by
GC with dual ECD's.
Org-005 Soil samples are extracted with dichloromethane/acetone and waters with dichloromethane and analysed by
GC with dual ECD's.
Note, the Total +ve reported DDD+DDE+DDT PQL is reflective of the lowest individual PQL and is therefore
simply a sum of the positive individually report DDD+DDE+DDT.
Org-008 Soil samples are extracted with dichloromethane/acetone and waters with dichloromethane and analysed by
GC with dual ECD's.
Org-006 Soil samples are extracted with dichloromethane/acetone and waters with dichloromethane and analysed by
GC-ECD.
Org-006 Soil samples are extracted with dichloromethane/acetone and waters with dichloromethane and analysed by
GC-ECD.
Note, the Total +ve PCBs PQL is reflective of the lowest individual PQL and is therefore" Total +ve PCBs" is
simply a sum of the positive individual PCBs.

Report Comments:
Asbestos: A portion of the supplied sample was sub-sampled for asbestos analysis according to Envirolab procedures.
We cannot guarantee that this sub-sample is indicative of the entire sample. Envirolab recommends supplying
40-50g of sample in its own container.
Note: Samples 160921-1 to 6 were sub-sampled from jars provided by the client.
Asbestos ID was analysed by Approved Identifier: Lucy Zhu
Asbestos ID was authorised by Approved Signatory: Paul Ching
INS: Insufficient sample for this test PQL: Practical Quantitation Limit NT: Not tested
NR: Test not required RPD: Relative Percent Difference NA: Test not required
<: Less than >: Greater than LCS: Laboratory Control Sample

Quality Control Definitions
Blank: This is the component of the analytical signal which is not derived from the sample but from reagents,
glassware etc, can be determined by processing solvents and reagents in exactly the same manner as for samples.
Duplicate : This is the complete duplicate analysis of a sample from the process batch. If possible, the sample
selected should be one where the analyte concentration is easily measurable.
Matrix Spike : A portion of the sample is spiked with a known concentration of target analyte. The purpose of the matrix
spike is to monitor the performance of the analytical method used and to determine whether matrix interferences exist.
LCS (Laboratory Control Sample) : This comprises either a standard reference material or a control matrix (such as a blank
sand or water) fortified with analytes representative of the analyte class. It is simply a check sample.
Surrogate Spike: Surrogates are known additions to each sample, blank, matrix spike and LCS in a batch, of compounds
which are similar to the analyte of interest, however are not expected to be found in real samples.
Laboratory Acceptance Criteria
Duplicate sample and matrix spike recoveries may not be reported on smaller jobs, however, were analysed at a frequency
to meet or exceed NEPM requirements. All samples are tested in batches of 20. The duplicate sample RPD and matrix
spike recoveries for the batch were within the laboratory acceptance criteria.
Filters, swabs, wipes, tubes and badges will not have duplicate data as the whole sample is generally extracted
during sample extraction.
Spikes for Physical and Aggregate Tests are not applicable.
For VOCs in water samples, three vials are required for duplicate or spike analysis.
Duplicates: <5xPQL - any RPD is acceptable; >5xPQL - 0-50% RPD is acceptable.
Matrix Spikes, LCS and Surrogate recoveries: Generally 70-130% for inorganics/metals; 60-140%
for organics (+/-50% surrogates) and 10-140% for labile SVOCs (including labile surrogates), ultra trace organics
and speciated phenols is acceptable.
In circumstances where no duplicate and/or sample spike has been reported at 1 in 10 and/or 1 in 20 samples
respectively, the sample volume submitted was insufficient in order to satisfy laboratory QA/QC protocols.
When samples are received where certain analytes are outside of recommended technical holding times (THTs),
the analysis has proceeded. Where analytes are on the verge of breaching THTs, every effort will be made to analyse
within the THT or as soon as practicable.
Where sampling dates are not provided, Envirolab are not in a position to comment on the validity
of the analysis where recommended technical holding times may have been breached.
Measurement Uncertainty estimates are available for most tests upon request.

Quality Control Definitions
Blank: This is the component of the analytical signal which is not derived from the sample but from reagents,
glassware etc, can be determined by processing solvents and reagents in exactly the same manner as for samples.
Duplicate : This is the complete duplicate analysis of a sample from the process batch. If possible, the sample
selected should be one where the analyte concentration is easily measurable.
Matrix Spike : A portion of the sample is spiked with a known concentration of target analyte. The purpose of the matrix
spike is to monitor the performance of the analytical method used and to determine whether matrix interferences exist.
LCS (Laboratory Control Sample) : This comprises either a standard reference material or a control matrix (such as a blank
sand or water) fortified with analytes representative of the analyte class. It is simply a check sample.
Surrogate Spike: Surrogates are known additions to each sample, blank, matrix spike and LCS in a batch, of compounds
which are similar to the analyte of interest, however are not expected to be found in real samples.
Laboratory Acceptance Criteria
Duplicate sample and matrix spike recoveries may not be reported on smaller jobs, however, were analysed at a frequency
to meet or exceed NEPM requirements. All samples are tested in batches of 20. The duplicate sample RPD and matrix
spike recoveries for the batch were within the laboratory acceptance criteria.
Filters, swabs, wipes, tubes and badges will not have duplicate data as the whole sample is generally extracted
during sample extraction.
Spikes for Physical and Aggregate Tests are not applicable.
For VOCs in water samples, three vials are required for duplicate or spike analysis.
Duplicates: <5xPQL - any RPD is acceptable; >5xPQL - 0-50% RPD is acceptable.
Matrix Spikes, LCS and Surrogate recoveries: Generally 70-130% for inorganics/metals; 60-140%
for organics (+/-50% surrogates) and 10-140% for labile SVOCs (including labile surrogates), ultra trace organics
and speciated phenols is acceptable.
In circumstances where no duplicate and/or sample spike has been reported at 1 in 10 and/or 1 in 20 samples
respectively, the sample volume submitted was insufficient in order to satisfy laboratory QA/QC protocols.
When samples are received where certain analytes are outside of recommended technical holding times (THTs),
the analysis has proceeded. Where analytes are on the verge of breaching THTs, every effort will be made to analyse
within the THT or as soon as practicable.
Where sampling dates are not provided, Envirolab are not in a position to comment on the validity
of the analysis where recommended technical holding times may have been breached.
Measurement Uncertainty estimates are available for most tests upon request.

DATA QUALITY ASSESSMENT Q1. Data Quality Objectives
The Contamination Investigation was prepared with reference to the seven step data quality objective (DQO) process which is provided in Appendix B, Schedule B2 of the National Environment Protection (Assessment of Site Contamination) Measure 1999 as amended 2013 (NEPC, 2013). The DQO process is outlined as follows:
Stating the Problem;
Identifying the Decision;
Identifying Inputs to the Decision;
Defining the Boundary of the Assessment;
Developing a Decision Rule;
Specifying Acceptable Limits on Decision Errors; and
Optimising the Design for Obtaining Data. The DQOs have been addressed within the report as shown in Table Q1. Table Q1: Data Quality Objectives

In summary, the QC data is considered to be of sufficient quality to be acceptable for the assessment.
Q2.1 Intra-Laboratory Replicates
One intra-laboratory replicate was analysed as an internal check of the reproducibility within the primary laboratory ELS and as a measure of consistency of sampling techniques. The comparative results of analysis between the original and the intra-laboratory replicate samples are summarised in Table Q4.
Page 3 of 7
Appendix C: QA/QC Report Project 85751.03Part of 11 Talavera Road, Macquarie Park, NSW February 2017
Note that, where both samples are below LOR/PQL the difference and RPD has been given as zero. Where one sample is reported below LOR/PQL, but a concentration is reported for the other, the LOR/PQL value has been used for calculation of the RPD for the less than LOR/PQL sample.

The calculated RPD values were within the acceptable range of 30 for inorganic analytes and 50% for organics with the with the exception of that shown in bold in Table Q4. However, this is not considered to be significant because:
The typically low actual differences in the concentrations of the replicate pairs where some RPD exceedances occurred. High RPD values reflect the small differences between two small numbers;
Most of the recorded concentrations being relatively close to the LOR / PQL. High RPD values reflect the low concentrations; and
All other QA/QC parameters met the DQIs.
Overall, the intra-laboratory replicate comparisons indicate that the sampling techniques were generally consistent and repeatable.

Q3. Data Quality Indicators
The reliability of field procedures and analytical results was assessed against the following data quality indicators (DQIs):
Completeness – a measure of the amount of usable data from a data collection activity;
Comparability – the confidence (qualitative) that data may be considered to be equivalent for each sampling and analytical event;
Representativeness – the confidence (qualitative) of data representativeness of media present on-site;
Precision – a measure of variability or reproducibility of data; and
Accuracy – a measure of closeness of the data to the ‘true’ value. The DQIs were assessed as outlined in the following Table Q6.
Table Q6: Data Quality Indicators
Data Quality Indicator Method(s) of Achievement
Completeness Planned systematic and selected target locations sampled. However, sampling
depths were limited by the hand augering technique, hence the nature of deeper
fill is a data gap;
Preparation of field logs, sample location plan and chain of custody (COC)
records;
Preparation of field groundwater sampling sheet;
Laboratory sample receipt information received confirming receipt of samples
intact and appropriateness of the chain of custody;
Samples analysed for contaminants of potential concern (COPC) identified in the
Conceptual Site Model (CSM);
Completion of COC documentation;
NATA endorsed laboratory certificates provided by the laboratory;
Satisfactory frequency and results for field and laboratory QC samples as
discussed in Section Q2.
Comparability Using appropriate techniques for sample recovery (allowing for physical
limitations), storage and transportation, which were the same for the duration of
the project;
Works undertaken by appropriately experienced and trained DP environmental
scientists;
Use of NATA registered laboratories, with test methods the same or similar
between laboratories;
Satisfactory results for field and laboratory QC samples.

Appendix C: QA/QC Report Project 85751.03Part of 11 Talavera Road, Macquarie Park, NSW February 2017
Data Quality Indicator Method(s) of Achievement
Representativeness Target media sampled within the limited depth of augering;
Sample numbers recovered and analysed are considered to be representative of
the target media and generally complying with DQOs, with the exception of the
data gap relating to depth of sampling;
Samples were extracted and analysed within holding times;
Samples were analysed in accordance with the analysis request.
Precision Acceptable RPD between original samples and replicates;
Satisfactory results for all other field and laboratory QC samples.
Accuracy Satisfactory results for all field and laboratory QC samples.
Based on the above, it is considered that the DQIs have been complied with. As such, it is concluded that the field and laboratory test data obtained are reliable and useable for this assessment.
