Executive Summary
Brief Delta-Simons Environmental Consultants Limited (‘Delta-Simons’) was instructed by Amazon UK Services Ltd (the ‘Client’) to undertake a Phase II Environmental Assessment for Foundry Point, Foundry Lane, Widnes, WA8 8TZ (hereafter referred to as the ‘Site’). The purpose of this assessment is to provide comfort and surety and to provide a ground investigation “benchmark” of the ground conditions beneath the Site, prior to the Client occupying the Site as a tenant.
The scope of works has been focussed on an initial assessment of ground gas and soil vapour issues.
Site Setting Historically the Site has been occupied by railway lines, a potential spoil heap, unspecified buildings, water bodies and raised ground. Chemical waste fill is known to have been present on the Site, but it is understood that this was removed and replaced by pulverised fuel ash (PFA) as part of a larger reclamation project in the area. The Site underwent re-development in 1994 into its current use, comprising a large vacant commercial / light industrial unit with associated car parking, yard and limited landscaped areas.
Ground Conditions
The ground investigation recorded a variable thickness of topsoil and Made Ground, which is in turn underlain by Tidal Flat Deposits. Monitoring of standpipes indicates that perched groundwater is within the Made Ground and Tidal Flat Deposits.
Land Contamination Assessment
Ground Gas
In accordance with BS8485 guidance, and using maximum recorded parameters and the calculated GSV’s, the Site has been classified as CS2. This is entirely due to the maximum carbon dioxide concentration having exceeded 5% v/v in DS05 which increases the CS classification from 1 to 2. In the event of a Site redevelopment ground gas protection measures would be recommended, however, given that elevated concentrations of carbon dioxide (>5% v/v) have only been encountered in DS05 in the yard area on two occasions (5.3% v/v and 6.4% v/v during the second and third monitoring visits respectively), and that elevated flow rates have not been encountered, it is considered that the risk to future Site users is low, especially given that the current building predominantly comprises a large open warehouse where accumulation of ground gas is very unlikely, and that DS05 is located approximately 90 m north of the area of the building utilised as office space.
Vapour intrusion
Analysis of soil vapour samples has identified elevated concentrations of benzene and petroleum hydrocarbons. However, given the magnitude of exceedances of Air Quality Criteria (AQC) are very limited with the maximum being only 10 times the applied AQC, it is considered that no further modelling is needed to conclude that the data is evidence that concentrations of the detected contaminants associated with the below ground sources will not result in indoor air concentrations that exceed the AQC based on the attenuation and dilution that will occur between the ground and indoor air, especially in the context of a warehouse use. On this basis, a risk is not considered to be present associated with vapour intrusion based on the data collected.
Recommendations Based on the findings of this assessment, it is considered that the risk to future end users from vapour / ground gas intrusion is low and therefore, it is not considered that further action is necessary prior to occupation of the Site.
This is intended as a summary only. Further detail and the limitations of the assessment are provided within the main body of the Report.

1.0 Introduction
1.1 Appointment
Delta-Simons Environmental Consultants Limited (“Delta-Simons”) was instructed by Amazon UK Services Ltd (the “Client”) to prepare a Phase II Environmental Assessment for Foundry Point, Foundry Lane, Widnes, WA8 8TZ (the “Site”).
1.2 Context & Purpose
The aim of the investigation is to complete an environmental assessment in order to provide comfort and surety and to provide a ground investigation suitable “benchmark” of the ground conditions beneath the Site, prior to the Client occupying the Site as a tenant. The investigation will obtain information regarding ground conditions, from which risks to end-users can be assessed. The scope of works has been focussed on an initial assessment of ground gas and soil vapour issues.
1.3 Scope of Works
The scope of the investigation and layout of this report has been designed with consideration of CLR11 (Environment Agency, 2004a) and BS 10175: 2013 Investigation of Potentially Contaminated Sites – Code of Practice (BSI, 2011) and guidance on land contamination reports issued by the Environment Agency (EA) (2010a).
The project was carried out to an agreed brief as set out in Delta-Simons’ proposal dated 24th May 2018 (Ref. 18-0599.02). The scope of works is outlined in Section 3.2.1.
1.4 Existing Information

2.0 Site Details
2.1 Site Setting
A summary of the current Site status, environmental setting and key historical features is presented below. This has been summarised from the existing report listed in Section 1.4 which should be consulted for further detail.
Co-ordinates Centred approximately at National Grid Reference 349170, 384370.
Elevation 8 – 10 m AOD
Area 1.04 Ha
Site Location The Site is located to the north and west of Foundry Lane on the Halebank Industrial Estate to the south of Ditton and south-west of Widnes. A Site Location Map is included as Figure 1.
Current Site Use The Site is occupied by a steel framed metal clad warehouse unit which was constructed in 1994. The southern part of the warehouse unit comprises a two-storey office with the toilet and kitchen facilities. The building and offices are currently vacant and advertised ‘To Let’.
There is a brick substation located in the south-west corner of the Site (owned by Scottish Power) and a small metal clad storage unit (currently empty) located off the western elevation of the warehouse.
The Site entrance is from a roundabout to the south of the Site and there is a separate entrance to the yard located in the north-east of the Site. The south and west are covered by asphalt hardstanding, with the yard to the north being concrete. The land between the building and Foundry Lane is grassed. A Site Layout Plan is included as Figure 2.
Environmental Setting
From British Geological Survey (BGS) geological mapping data, the Site is indicated to be underlain by superficial deposits of Tidal Flat Deposits (Clay, Silt and Sand), over the bedrock of the Wilmslow Sandstone Formation.
Ground conditions identified at the Site during a previous geotechnical investigation (Sub Surface Limited, August 1992) comprised fill (stone fragments and fly ash over mudstone fragments, sand, ash, clayey silt, gravel, stone cobbles, and brick and concrete fragments) to between 2.3 m and 3.6 m below ground level (bgl) underlain by clayey silt, silty clay or clayey peat to between 6.0 m and 9.2 m bgl over clay to depths between 13.4 m and 13.6 m bgl. At three locations this was underlain by Sandstone to maximum proven depths of 14.5 m and 15.0 m bgl.
Blast furnace slag and gravel was identified at one location (between 1.9 m and 3.5 m bgl) along with ‘yellow chemical waste fill’ and ‘blue green chemical waste fill’ at one location between 1.0 m and 2.6 m bgl. The waste fill was observed to be mixed with ash, clinker, sand and clayey silt. It was also noted in the report that the fill was in the process of being excavated and removed as part of a wider land reclamation project, with the contaminated fill being replaced with fly ash-based fill and stone fill.
The Environment Agency (EA) classifies the superficial deposits (Tidal Flat Deposits) as a Secondary (Undifferentiated) Aquifer and the bedrock (Wilmslow Sandstone Formation) as a Principal Aquifer.
EA data indicates that the Site is not situated within a designated groundwater Source Protection Zone. According to the Envirocheck® Report, there are six licensed abstraction records from groundwater located within 500 m: two located 88 m south; two located 188 m south; and two 204 m south. The abstractions are utilised for general cooling and process water.
Phase II Environmental Assessment Foundry Point, Widnes Delta-Simons Project Number 18-0599.02 Page 3
Environment | Health & Safety | Sustainability
Standing groundwater levels were variable across the Site from the 1992 geotechnical investigation, ranging from 2.0 m and 11.2 m bgl.
The closest surface water feature is the Ditton Brook located 70 m to the east of the Site. The Stewards Brook and River Mersey are also located 395 m south-east and 500 m south respectively. According to the Envirocheck® Report, there are no licensed abstraction records from surface water located within 1 km of the Site.
The following controlled water / environmental receptors have been identified:
▲ The Ditton Brook; and
▲ The underlying Secondary (Undifferentiated) and Principal Aquifers.
Key Historical Features
Historically, the earliest reviewed mapping from 1893 demonstrated that several railway lines and a small unspecified building were present across the Site. Mapping also indicated that the land at the Site had been raised, with later mapping (1927) denoting an area of the land as a spoil heap. It also appeared that a water body was present in the east of the Site from the earliest available mapping which was later noted as a reservoir in 1937.
Further railway lines were added in the west of the Site by 1958, and it appeared that track roadways were also present across the Site at this time. It was noted that the potential spoil heap was no longer present by 1958.
By 1980, the railway lines were removed from the Site, and the majority of the Site appeared to have been largely levelled. The reservoir / pond in the east was infilled by 1990, and by 1994 the current unit was depicted. The Site remained unchanged until at least 2000. It is understood that the Site suffered a fire between 2002 and 2003 and following this, the northern-most area of the unit was dismantled.
Historical Google aerial photography and Street View indicated that an above ground tank (for HGV refuelling) was present in the western area of the yard from circa 2011 until at least 2015. Dark staining of the concrete floor in front of the tank is visible on the aerial photograph. The Site was shown as vacant from 2016 and the dark staining had been removed (as confirmed by the recent Site inspection).
Summary of Previous Reports
Delta-Simons reviewed the previous reports pertaining to the Site:
▲ Norwest Holst Soil Engineering Ltd. – Ground Investigation – Foundry Lane (ref: MNE/AKM/F5901), dated June 1984; and
▲ Sub Surface Limited – Ground Investigation (ref: 2118), dated August 1992.
The Norwest investigation was undertaken across the Site and wider area to the east (including the land on the opposite side of the Ditton Brook) to confirm the ground conditions for the redevelopment and reclamation of the area.
Varying amounts of ‘chemical waste’ were identified across the wider investigation area with large amounts identified in the east (off-Site on the opposite bank of Ditton Brook). The report notes that the origin of the waste was unknown; however, some of the material was derived from the product of soda ash and is known as Leblanc waste (galligu). Testing of the material identified relatively high concentrations of ammonia, chloride and sulphate.
Overall it was suggested that the unsuitable materials be removed and replaced with imported structural filling such as hardcore or a lightweight material such as PFA (pulverised fuel ash).
The Sub Surface report was undertaken to provide geotechnical recommendations for the development of the Site. At the time of the visit, the report noted that the upper zone of fill was being removed and replaced by fly ash.

Chemical waste fill was identified at one location (borehole 6); however, the report highlighted that the replacement of the materials had not yet been completed and it was considered that the identified chemical waste fill was still to be removed and replaced.
Ground gas monitoring was undertaken on one occasion. No significant carbon dioxide levels were identified; however, a methane reading of 2.5% was recorded within borehole 1 along with a reduced oxygen level (below 21%). Based on the initial reading it was recommended that specific gas protection measures may need to be incorporated into the development. In the first instance, it was recommended that further monitoring be undertaken.
A validation report for the materials removal was not identified.

3.0 Site Investigation
3.1 Intrusive Investigation
Delta-Simons carried out intrusive investigation work from 31st May to 1st June 2018 in order to provide comfort and surety and to provide a suitable “benchmark” of the ground conditions beneath the Site, prior to the Client taking up occupation.
The works were focussed on assessing ground gas and soil vapour issues.
3.1.1 Health & Safety Considerations
Service plans for the Site were not available from the Client. A utilities clearance specialist attended the Site on 31st May 2018 to trace services on and around the Site prior to excavation of exploratory hole locations.
An initial assessment of the Site identified a Low risk in relation to Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) and so no specific precautionary measures were required for the works.
Future Contractors should undertake their own assessment of UXO risk in relation to their specific proposed scope of works.
3.2 Scope of Ground Investigation and Rationale
3.2.1 Scope
The ground investigation comprised the following items:
▲ Initial service avoidance exercise;
▲ Supervision of all works by a Delta-Simons Geo-Environmental engineer. All intrusive locations were logged to BS5930:2015 Code of Practice for Site Investigations; and
▲ Drilling of eight dynamic sampler boreholes (DS01 to DS08) to a maximum depth of 3.0 m bgl.
▲ Ground gas and soil vapour sampling.
3.2.2 Rationale
Location Rationale
DS01. DS02, DS04, DS05, DS06, DS07, DS08 To provide a general coverage of the Site.
DS03 Targeting the location of a former above ground tank (AST).
3.2.3 Limitations
The soil vapour samples were obtained from the installed dynamic sampler boreholes as a preliminary approach to assessing soil vapour conditions. This approach did not use narrow diameter specialist soil vapour wells and, whilst it allows an initial assessment of conditions, is recognised as having some limitations due to the length of response zone(s).
3.3 Ground Investigation Factual Data
The investigation locations were surveyed in by the appointed surveying contractor to an accuracy of approximately +/- 0.1m. A Site Layout and Approximate Intrusive Location Plan is presented as Figure 2.
Delta-Simons engineer verified borehole logs are presented as Appendix B.

3.4 Environmental Sampling, In-Situ Testing and Laboratory Analysis
Ground gas samples were collected from each of the eight boreholes on 7th June 2018. The ground gas and soil vapour samples were collected using Tedlar bags and Tenax tubes.
Ground gas samples analysed for environmental purposes were placed in cool boxes on Site and transported to the laboratory for analysis on completion of the ground gas sampling visit.
The rationale for chemical analysis is presented in the table below and the results of the chemical laboratory testing are included in Appendix C.

3.5 Monitoring Programme
Four rounds of groundwater level and ground gas monitoring were undertaken on all newly installed wells (DS01 – DS08) between 7th and 26th June 2018. Measurements of the depth to groundwater within the monitoring wells were taken using an electronic dip meter. The groundwater level monitoring sheets are included as Appendix D.
To characterise the ground gas regime at the Site, an infrared gas meter was used to measure gas flow, concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and oxygen (O2) in percentage by volume. Initial and steady state concentrations were recorded. The atmospheric pressure before and during monitoring, together with the weather conditions, was recorded. All monitoring results obtained to date together with the temporal conditions are contained within Appendix D.
3.6 Soil Vapour Sampling
Soil vapour samples were obtained during the first visit on 7th June 2018. Soil vapour samples were obtained using Tedlar bags and Tenax Tubes. Tedlar bag samples were obtained by attaching the Tedlar bag valve to the exhaust tube of a landfill gas analyser (GA2000), whilst the inflow tube was connected to the gas bung within the monitoring well. Following this, a pump was used to obtain the Tenax tube samples, set to a rate of 120 mL/minute and run for half an hour.
In the laboratory, Tedlar bag samples were analysed for bulk ground gases whilst Tenax tubes were analysed for hydrocarbons and VOCs. ………

5.0 Bulk Ground Gas Risk Assessment
5.1 Ground Gas Conceptual Site Model
5.1.1 Sources
Historically the Site was shown to have been raised in 1927 and levelled by 1980. It is understood that chemical waste was previously present on-Site, however, this was reportedly removed and replaced by pulverised fuel ash (PFA). Additionally, Delta-Simons Phase I Environmental Assessment indicates that there are two historical landfill sites listed in the west and east of the Site, with deposited waste including industrial waste. Made Ground has been encountered to a maximum depth of 3.0 m bgl.
The Made Ground generally comprises granular deposits, with gravel content including limestone, brick, quartzite, granite, concrete and asphalt. Slag was encountered in DS02 and DS05. The Made Ground is considered to represent a potential source of ground gas, although the volume of putrescible material appears to be low.
Surrounding historical land uses, which include former industrial facilities, may represent localised off-Site sources of ground gases.
No current waste management facilities (landfills) have been identified within a 250 m radius of the Site. However, two historical landfill sites have been identified as follows:
▲ Foundry Lane located approximately 40 m south of the Site; and
▲ Ditton Marsh located approximately 90 m east of the Site, with deposited waste including industrial waste.
5.1.2 Receptors
The principal receptors under consideration are future Site users. Other receptors include adjacent site occupiers and future maintenance/construction workers.
5.1.3 Pathways
The underlying geology is likely to be of variable permeability with respect to ground gases and soil vapours. The Made Ground is predominantly granular and is likely to allow preferential migration locally. The underlying Tidal Flat Deposits are cohesive and are therefore likely to limit vertical migration from below and also lateral migration.
Based on the above, migration from off-Site sources, including historical industrial land uses and the historical landfill sites located within 250 m of the Site is considered unlikely due to the presence of Tidal Flat Deposits. However, given the absence of details concerning the former landfill sites, the potential for migration of gas from these sources should not be discounted at this stage.
The most significant pathways with respect to future Site users relate to the potential for gases or vapours to enter the current building, especially enclosed ground floor office spaces. At present, it is not known whether gas protection measures were installed during construction of the building. Consequently, ingress into the building may be possible through voids in the floor including service entry points and cracks.
Future maintenance / construction workers may come into contact with hazardous ground gases via entry into below ground confined spaces such as excavations or service entries / inspection points.
5.2 Duration & Extent of Monitoring
Gas monitoring has been carried out upon the Site on four occasions over four weeks following completion of the intrusive ground investigation works. The locations of the monitoring wells are highlighted on Figure 2 and indicate representative coverage across the whole study area.
Barometric pressures during the gas monitoring period ranged from 1015 mB to 1019 mB. One of the four visits was completed during periods of falling pressure.

5.3 Ground Gas Risk Assessment
5.3.1 Background
Based on the commercial use of the Site, the following documents have been consulted when assessing the gas regime at the Site:
▲ British Standards Institute (BSI, 2015): Code of practice for the design of protective measures for methane and carbon dioxide ground gases for new buildings, BS:8485.
The presence of a source of hazardous gas within the ground does not necessarily indicate a risk will be present. Consideration of recorded gas flows together with source concentrations can allow an initial assessment to be made of the potential both for generation and subsequent migration of gas. A Characteristic Situation (CS) is derived from an assessment of the ground gas data and forms the basis of determining mitigation measures.
5.3.2 Gas Screening Value (GSV)
The Gas Screening Value (gas concentration as a fraction x maximum recorded flow) is used to provide an initial assessment of risks to future site users. The GSVs calculated for the monitoring wells are presented in the following table.

DS07 <0.1 0.2 0.1 0.0001 CS1 0.0002 CS1 N
DS08 <0.1 2.2 0.1 0.0001 CS1 0.0022 CS1 N
Notes: CS1+ = Calculated GSV is CS1; however, peak carbon dioxide exceeds 5% v/v, therefore, consider increase in CS value.
In accordance with BSI guidance, and using maximum recorded parameters and the calculated GSV’s, the Site has been classified as CS2. This is entirely due to the maximum carbon dioxide concentration having exceeded 5% v/v in DS05 which increases the CS classification from 1 to 2.
Ground gas protection measures would typically be recommended in this scenario in the event of a Site redevelopment, however, given that elevated concentrations of carbon dioxide (>5% v/v) have only been encountered in DS05 in the yard area on two occasions (5.3% v/v and 6.4% v/v during the second and third monitoring visits respectively), and that elevated flow rates have not been encountered, it is considered that the risk to future Site users is low, especially given that the current building predominantly comprises a large open warehouse where accumulation of ground gas is very unlikely, and that DS05 is located approximately 90 m north of the area of the building utilised as office space.

6.0 Soil Vapour Risk Assessment
6.1 Overview
Traditionally, assessment of risks associated with volatile contaminants within the UK has relied upon soil sampling and consideration against Generic Assessment Criteria (e.g. Soil Guideline Values). In the context of this Site those criteria would typically be commercial/industrial. The model adopted for the development of these criteria relevant to the transport and migration of vapours is the Johnson and Ettinger model as implemented in the CLEA v1.071 model and associated documentation, notably Environment Agency (2009), Updated Technical Background to the CLEA Model, Report SC050021/SR3, January 2009.
It is highlighted that practice in other jurisdictions required assessment of risks from soil vapour through more direct measurement of soil vapour concentrations rather than modelling from soil and groundwater concentrations and an approach of soil vapour sampling has been adopted for this assessment as a reasonable screening assessment to identify whether risks are likely to be present.
6.2 Approach
In order to make an initial assessment of risks associated with soil vapours, the installed ground gas monitoring wells were sampled. It is noted that these samples are from outside of the building footprint and it is assumed that conditions are representative of general conditions in the shallow subsurface across the site.
Soil vapour samples were collected from each of the eight monitoring wells located in external areas across the Site on 7th June 2018 as described in Section 3.6.
Samples were tested at a UKAS accredited laboratory for a range of appropriate potential contaminants as described in Section 3.4.
6.3 Results
A summary of the results compared against their respective Air Quality Criteria (AQC) is presented below and a copy of the full results is provided in Appendix C.
6.4 Assessment Criteria
Published screening concentrations for soil vapours do not exist within the UK regulatory regieme; the approach adopted for a screening assessment such as this is to derive land use specific Air Quality Criteria as a starting point to understand the significance of the concentrations recorded from the in-ground samples. Where exceedances of the AQC are identified then further consideration can be given to what next steps need to be taken. It is highlighted that the derived AQC are orders of magnitude lower the Occupational Health criteria (EH40) where these exist and so the approach is considered to be conservative. Further, the AQC take no account of the attenuation which occurs between inground concentrations and indoor air.
In order to identify appropriate Air Quality Criteria to be adopted to assess the recorded concentrations of substances in the subsurface, a review of available toxicological data has been undertaken and, where appropriate, Air Quality Criteria (AQC) developed from the published Health Criteria Values.
The maximum recorded concentrations are compared directly to the AQC for a first stage of assessment to identify those substances which require further consideration. The table below displays the highest concentration of each compound across Site; the compound concentrations exceeding the AQC.

6.5 Exceeding Samples
Based on the review of recorded concentrations of substances of concern sampled from the various wells, the following have been identified as exceeding the AQC and requiring further consideration:
▲ Benzene – three locations: DS03 (6.5 ug/m3), DS04 (5.3 ug/m3) and DS05 (5.2 ug/m3);
▲ Aromatic EC8-EC10 – all locations: DS01 (1800 ug/m3), DS02 (480 ug/m3), DS03 (540 ug/m3), DS04 (930 ug/m3), DS05 (760 ug/m3), DS06 (890 ug/m3), DS07 (1000 ug/m3), DS08 (490 ug/m3); and
▲ Aromatic EC10-EC12 – six of eight locations: DS01 (410 ug/m3), DS03 (310 ug/m3), DS04 (250 ug/m3), DS05 (440 ug/m3), DS06 (360 ug/m3), DS07 (550 ug/m3).
It is noted that these are all hydrocarbon species and likely to be associated with historical hydrocarbon sources.
6.6 Discussion and Conclusion
The concentrations recorded which exceeded the applied AQC are concentrations of potential contaminants in the ground. Due to the nature of the sampling being from wider dynamic sample wells (e.g. 50mm diameter) with extensive response zones rather than from narrow diameter (e.g. <5mm diameter) specialist vapour wells with a limited response zone (e.g. <1-2cm), the data is not considered appropriate to use in a fully justifiable way in a model (e.g. Johnson and Ettinger) to estimate indoor air concentrations.
However, given the magnitude of exceedances of AQC are so very limited with the maximum being only 10 times the applied AQC, it is considered that no further modelling is needed to conclude that the data is evidence that concentrations of the detected contaminants associated with the below ground sources will not result in indoor air concentrations that exceed the AQC based on the attenuation and dilution that will occur from in ground to indoor air, especially in the context of a warehouse use.
On this basis, a risk is not considered to be present associated with vapour intrusion based on the data collected.

7.0 Revised Conceptual Site Model
A revised CSM is presented in the table below which has been formulated taking into account all of the available data from the Delta-Simons intrusive investigation, suitable for the commercial use of the Site.
Revised Conceptual Site Model
Source Pathways Receptors Confirmed Risk?
Mitigation
On-Site Made Ground deposits associated with historical landfills and removal of chemical waste.
Off-Site sources including current and historical industrial / commercial land uses and historical landfill sites.
Indoor exposure / explosive hazard via enclosed space accumulation of ground gas
Inhalation of volatile vapours
Future Site users See Discussion
The Site has been classified as CS2 due to the maximum carbon dioxide concentration having exceeded 5% v/v in DS05, which increases the CS classification from 1 to 2. Ground gas protection measures would be necessary under this scenario should new buildings be constructed at the Site, however, given that elevated concentrations of carbon dioxide (>5% v/v) have only been encountered in DS05 in the yard area on two occasions (5.3% v/v and 6.4% v/v during the second and third monitoring visits respectively), and that elevated flow rates have not been encountered, it is considered that the risk to future Site users is low, especially given that the current building predominantly comprises a large open warehouse where accumulation of ground gas is very unlikely, and that DS05 is located approximately 90 m north of the area of the building utilised as office space.
Elevated concentrations of benzene and petroleum hydrocarbons have been identified within the ground gas samples collected from the monitoring wells at the Site.
However, given that the magnitude of exceedances of conservative AQC in the ground are very limited, it is considered that no further modelling is needed to conclude that the data is evidence that concentrations of the detected contaminants associated with the below ground sources will not result in indoor air concentrations that exceed the AQC based on the attenuation and dilution that will occur from in ground to indoor air, especially in the context of a warehouse use.

8.0 Conclusions & Recommendations
8.1 Contamination Issues
The investigation has been carried out in order to provide comfort and surety and to provide a ground investigation suitable “benchmark” of the ground conditions beneath the Site, prior to the Client taking up occupation of the Site. The work has focussed on ground gas and soil vapour risks.
In accordance with BS8485 guidance, and using maximum recorded parameters and the calculated GSV’s, the Site has been classified as CS2. This is entirely due to the maximum carbon dioxide concentration having exceeded 5% v/v in DS05 which increases the CS classification from 1 to 2. Ground gas protection measures would typically be recommended under this scenario should new buildings be constructed at the Site. However, given that elevated concentrations of carbon dioxide (>5% v/v) have only been encountered in DS05 in the yard area on two occasions (5.3% v/v and 6.4% v/v during the second and third monitoring visits respectively), and that elevated flow rates have not been encountered, it is considered that the risk to future Site users is low, especially given that the current building predominantly comprises a large open warehouse where accumulation of ground gas is very unlikely, and that DS05 is located approximately 90 m north of the area of the building utilised as office space.
Analysis of soil vapour samples has identified elevated concentrations of benzene and petroleum hydrocarbons. However, given the magnitude of exceedances of AQC are so very limited with the maximum being only 10 times the applied AQC, it is considered that no further modelling is needed to conclude that the data is evidence that concentrations of the detected contaminants associated with the below ground sources will not result in indoor air concentrations that exceed the AQC based on the attenuation and dilution that will occur from in ground to indoor air, especially in the context of a warehouse use. On this basis, a risk is not considered to be present associated with vapour intrusion based on the data collected.
8.2 Recommendations for Supplementary Work
Based on the findings of this Assessment, it is considered that the risk to future end users from vapour / ground gas intrusion is low and therefore, it is not considered that further action is necessary prior to occupation of the Site.
Were the Site to be redeveloped in future then a more comprehensive assessment would be needed.
