| The Blast Furnace Stockyard/No. 1
& 2 Piers program was started in June 2003. The program consisted
of the following:
| Investigation Type |
Number of samples |
| Boreholes |
17 |
| Monitor Wells |
17 |
| Test pits |
27 |
| Surface soil samples |
12 |
| Sediment samples |
2 |
| Surface water samples |
3 |
In all, over 250 analyses were performed on approximately 120 soil
and water samples. Laboratory testing indicates that PAH are occasionally
present above some guideline values and, as in other study areas,
some metals are present in the fill materials.
An area of petroleum and hydrocarbon impact located is to the east
of the former No. 1 & 2 Piers (“Steel Pier” and
“Ore Pier”). No other significant environmental issues
were identified.
Phase 3 testing is completed.
