The following contaminated media was identified on the site:

Contaminant Type Medium Type
Metal, metalloid, and organometallic Soil

Action Plan

No further action required. Environmental site assessments and a risk assessment were completed at the site between 2008 and 2017. In 2016-17, a soil remediation project was completed to address one area with concentrations posing potentially unacceptable risk to human health. No further action was recommended, and as such the monitoring wells were decommissioned in 2017-18, and the site file was closed. The site will continue to be used for research.
