5th International Contaminated Site Remediation Conference
Dear colleagues
On behalf of CRC CARE and The Australasian Land & Groundwater
Association Inc. (ALGA), it is our pleasure to welcome you to the biennial
CleanUp Conference.
Th|s year, the organ|s|ng comm|ttee has prepared a sc|ent|fc and

assessment, management and remediation. Particular attention has
been paid to presenting you with different aspects and approaches from
Australia and many other countries around the world, and the sessions
will cover both advances in research and industry best practice. Whether
you are an industry practitioner, a scientist, a regulator or a service
prov|der, and regard|ess of whether you are new to the fe|d or have
been pract|c|ng for decades, we are certa|n that you w||| fnd someth|ng
interesting at each time slot.
The organising committee is pleased to have secured the Crown
Melbourne as the host venue for the event, with the change in venue
constituting the next stage in the Conferences extraordinary growth after
four successful events in Adelaide. The Crown Conference Centre one
of Australias newest and best-equipped purpose-built hotel convention
facilities is the ideal venue for the CleanUp Conference. Crown offers
an environment that enables attendees to easily navigate the tightly
paced program, engage with exhibitors, and share ideas and information.
Networking will be facilitated through a full complement of lunches,
receptions and other meals during program breaks. After the sessions
conclude each evening, there will be poster sessions and networking
drinks, and the Conference gala dinner will again be a highlight.
Br|ng|ng together over 500 de|egates from a|| fe|ds and re|ated
industries, the Conference presents an excellent opportunity to increase
awareness of your organisation, demonstrate your involvement in the
contamination assessment and remediation industry, promote your
products and serv|ces, support your brand, and bu||d your prof|e -

of this unique opportunity to promote yourself, your organisation and
your clients to a large national and international audience, and to
contribute to the success of this special event.
The Conference has again been very well supported by our sponsors,
without whom CleanUp 2013 would not be possible.
Finally, we extend our thanks to the members of the organising
committees who have generously given their time and expertise to
ensure CleanUp 2013 meets the needs of the various industry sectors
represented by the attending delegates. We look forward to your

Professor Paul Nathanail
University of Nottingham & Land
Quality Management Ltd, UK

of engineering geology at
the University of Nottingham
and managing director of
specialist contaminated land consultants Land Quality
Management Ltd. His interest in sustainable remediation
stems from a |ong track record |n the broader fe|d of
sustainable urban land management. The concept is
trending and in danger of losing its impact through
misuse on company websites and marketing literature.
The plethora of spreadsheets, programs and applets
purporting to diagnose sustainable remediation are
in danger of cloaking a simple concept with overly
elaborate, time-consuming and expensive procedures.
The middle ground in achieving a step change in how we
remediate is to use simple tools and approaches to help
identify those remedies likely to deliver optimal net social,
econom|c and env|ronmenta| benefts.

Dr Brian Robinson AM devoted his working life to improving Victorias
environment, and shaping the direction of environmental protection in
Australia.
Born |n Northern lre|and, Br|an frst came to Austra||a |n 1968 to
complete his PhD in Chemistry at Melbourne University. After a period
as a research chemist with DuPont in the UK, he returned to Australia
in 1973 to play a key role in the Westernport Bay Environmental study.
It was here, working on one of the largest environmental studies of
its type, that he consolidated his passion for the environment and his
lifelong commitment to shaping a sustainable Victoria.
Brian joined Environment Protection Authority (EPA) Victoria in 1975,
and was appointed Chairman in 1986. It was he, more than anyone
else, who made EPA Victoria the nations leading environment protection
agency. For more than
30 years he str|ved to ensure resource effc|ency and susta|nab|e goods
and services. Over the last decade, his interests spread to identifying
fnanc|a| dr|vers for env|ronmenta| |mprovements and to ways of
engaging local communities in sustainability issues.
Recognised nationally and internationally as one of the strongest and
most articulate advocates for cleaner production, Brian realised very
early in his career that a robust and healthy environment was central to
the prosperity of society and individual enterprise.
Guided by his commitment to serving the people, Brian remains the longest serving Chairman/CEO of EPA Victoria, and
|s remembered as a humane and v|s|onary |eader w|th outstand|ng sc|ent|fc and management sk|||s. Br|an ded|cated
his professional life to improving environmental health, ensuring access to reliable, relevant information about the
environment, and providing people with the opportunity to participate in decisions on protecting the environment.
Sadly, Brian Robinson passed away on 1 May 2004. A valedictory celebration of his achievements was held in the Great
Hall of the National Gallery of Victoria, attended by 1200 people. Politicians of all persuasions sang his praises. Bureaucrats
and captains of industry spoke of his capabilities. All were unanimous in their appreciation of his ability and his charm. His
sheer niceness, it seems, oiled the machinery he constructed to reconcile differing interests. He worked what miracles he
could for the environment, and for peoples quality of life. Brians voice was loud and his passion was clear.
The commemorative Brian Robinson Lecture was inaugurated in 2009 at the 3rd International Contaminated
Site Remediation Conference. In 2013, the organising committee again wishes to acknowledge the efforts of an
environmental hero whose vision, ideas and leadership were a force for global sustainability. This year, the organising
committee takes great pleasure in inviting Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, Singapore Minister for the Environment and Water
Resources, to present the commemorative Brian Robinson Lecture.

Workshop 1:
Advancements in petroleum vapour
intrusion investigation and mitigation
Coordinated by: John Boyer
Time: 8:30am 5:00pm
Location: Crown Convention Centre,
Conference Hall 1
Regulatory agencies and industry are utilising vast
resources on petroleum vapour intrusion (PVI) evaluations
that may not be necessary due to the lack of a technical
understanding of the current science. At potential PVI
sites there is often uncertainty as to the best approach to
assess, investigate, and manage sites. This uncertainty
leads to inconsistent and slow decision making, and
|n some cases a |ack of confdence |n the protect|on
of human health. The challenge is to identify those
sites requiring a typical investigation and to screen out
unnecessary sites while still protecting public health.
Workshop 2:
Contaminated land as a legacy of
mining past, present and future
Sponsored by ACTRA
Coordinated by: Peter Di Marco
Time: 8:30am 5:00pm
Departure: Crown Convention Centre,
Conference Hall 3
By their very nature, mining activities pose a high risk
for soil and water contamination unless appropriate
management practices are in place. In the past,
particularly early in the last century, the approaches to
sustainable environmental practices have been less than
desirable, resulting in a large number of contaminated
sites from the mining. Not restricted to the mining
site, the contamination can also occur along transport
corridors (e.g. the railway line corridor from Broken Hill to
Port Pirie) and distal to the mining site because of erosion
(soil and surface waters), or can leach into groundwater.
The geographical distribution of the contamination may
not be known or knowable. The contamination has
caused disease in the past (Wittenoom, Port Pirie) and
will likely do so in the future as population increases,
urban areas expand and people move out of the capital
cities.
Workshop 3:
Integrated DNAPL site
remediation strategy
Coordinated by: Naji Akladiss
Time: 8:30am 12:30pm
Conference Hall 2
This short course is based on the 2011 ITRC IDSS-1
training course Integrated DNAPL Site Strategy
(www.itrcweb.org).
Workshop 4:
In situ bioremediation for the
practitioner
Sponsored by ERM
Coordinated by: Maureen C. Leahy
Meeting Room 11
The understanding and application of biological treatment
for environmental contaminants have made huge
advances in the past 30 years, but many practitioners
still rely on vendors of commercial products and
tools for their information. This workshop is aimed at
providing practitioners with an understanding of the
factors involved in choosing bioremediation over other
technologies, selecting the right amendments, and
monitoring the performance of the implementation.
Workshop 5:
Detailed site characterisation:
approaches, outcomes and
managing the data
Sponsored by Geosyntec
Coordinated by: David Reynolds
Meeting Room 12
Site investigation is a process of reducing uncertainty,
with the eventual aim of developing a conceptual site
model that is appropriate for the remedial objectives of
the site. While there has been a strong recent focus on
developing new site diagnostic tools and approaches
to characterising source zones (e.g. architecture, mass,
Workshops
mass discharge) and plume behaviour (e.g. preferential
fow paths, concentrat|on d|str|but|on, mass fux}, on|y
recently have generic tools been developed to help
site managers, regulators, engineers and remediation
scientists determine how to combine existing and new
approaches to arrive at a level of site characterisation
suitable for an intended purpose. Cost-effective site
characterisation is important when determining the
feasibility of treatment approaches, to assess process
performance during operation, and to reduce the
uncertainty of long-term performance through support for
optimisation strategies. This workshop will focus not only
on the tools for detailed site characterisation (particularly
the|r benefts and ||m|tat|ons}, but a|so on the process
of selecting data, determining the worth of data, and
techniques and holistic approaches for the integration
and visualisation of the data.
Workshop 6:
Measurement and use of mass
d|scharge and mass ux to |mprove
decisions at contaminated sites
Coordinated by: Naji Akladiss
Time: 1:30pm 5:00pm
Conference Hall 2
Th|s short course |s based on the 2010 lTRO Massfux-1
tra|n|ng course, se and measurement of mass fux and
mass discharge (www.itrcweb.org).
Workshop 7:
In situ thermal remediation
Sponsored by TerraTherm
Coordinated by: Gorm Heron and Grant Geckeler
Time: 1:30pm 5:00pm
Meeting Room 11
The workshop will include an overview of the theory and
application of in situ thermal methods to the remediation
of contaminated sites in North America and Europe,
including steam-enhanced extraction, electrical resistive
heat|ng, therma| conduct|ve heat|ng and gas-fred
conductive methods.
Workshop 8:

New Zealand
Sponsored by SuRF ANZ
Coordinated by: Garry Smith

Advances in site assessment and
remediation demonstrations
One of CRC CAREs founding purposes is to work with
end users to develop the technologies they need, to not
only solve their contamination problems but also lower
their costs and increase their revenue. This session will
introduce attendees to several of CRC CAREs recent
advances in site assessment and remediation.
ln the morn|ng`s frst sess|on, ORO OARE Manag|ng
Director Professor Ravi Naidu will discuss several R&D
highlights. These include:
Remediation of shooting range soils: remediated
3.5 tons of lead, saving $1.5 million dollars, at a
Department of Defence shooting range in Western
Australia.
Permeable reactive barriers (PRBs): CRC CAREs PRB
technology has reduced TCE levels now declining
downstream from treatment sites.
Trybutyltin (TBT) soil and stormwater remediation
using novel porous granular organoclay absorbents
were able to demonstrate high levels of remediation
effc|ency
Surfactant-enhanced in situ chemical oxidation
(S-ISCO): With industry partners VeruTEK and Soil and
Groundwater Consulting (now JBS&G), CRC CARE has
developed a biodegradable, plant-based surfactant/
co-solvent mixture that facilitates the desorbing of soil
contaminants, making them accessible for oxidative
destruction in place.
PFOS/PFOA remediation: treatment plants based at
three Royal Australian Airforce bases employing CRC
CAREs matCARE technology have already treated
more than 1 million litres of wastewater to levels below
the limit of reporting and reduced the annual cost of
managing contamination by as much as 90%.
This will be followed by the introduction of four recently
developed computer modelling technologies which will
be showcased in sessions 2-4 via demonstrations by
the CRC CARE researchers who developed them. These
software packages are:
indoorCARE (Dawit Bekele) a modular vapour
intrusion (VI) model that improves on existing simplistic
fate and transport models of VI.
gwsidCARE (Bithin Datta) enables clean-up
managers, even if they lack a detailed knowledge of
the prevailing hydrology, to identify sources, rates of
fow and vo|umes of a contam|nant w|th|n an aqu|fer.
gwmndCARE (Bithin Datta) in concert with
gwsidCARE, this software suggests suitable points
for improved monitoring of pollutants and of the
effectiveness of the clean-up operation.
rankCARE (Prashant Srivastava) uses a list
of we|ghted parameters to defne the extent of
contamination risk and urgency of action for each
contaminated site or area.
CRC CARE invites end users to work with them to further
develop these important additions to contaminated
site remediation. Such collaboration will ensure that
CRC CARE provides the industry with the tools it needs
to ach|eve better c|ean-up, more effc|ent|y - and thus
grow their businesses at the same time as achieving
better environmental outcomes.
The session will also give businesses an opportunity to
pressure test and use the technologies with a view to
suggesting further enhancements and tailoring for better
practical outcomes and adoption.
SPECIAL SYMPOSIA
Global Contamination Research
Initiative
CleanUp 2013 sees the launch of an exciting venture
the Global Contamination Research Initiative
(GCRI) that aims to bring together the people,
organisations and knowledge required to clean up
and prevent the worldwide scourge of environmental
contamination.
Contamination by the chemical products and by products
of human activity is now ubiquitous across our planet.
It is estimated that there are more than 3 million
contaminated sites worldwide, of which the vast majority
are un-remediated. Chemical contamination has been
|dent|fed as one of the ten 'p|anetary boundar|es` that
humanity should not transgress (Rockstrm J et al.
2009, A safe operating space for humanity, Nature vol.
461, pp. 472475). However, a lack of data prevents the
quant|fcat|on of the extent of g|oba| contam|nat|on, |ts
effects or where to set the boundary.
The United Nations Environment Programme estimates
current world chemical output at 20 million metric
tonnes about a third of which is thought to be toxic or
carcinogenic and growing at a rate of about 3% per
year. Many countries either lack effective regulations
or do not enforce them, and even in the best-run
jurisdictions, both knowledge and regulation lag far
behind the generation of novel chemical compounds,
nano-products and electronic waste, and their release
into the biosphere. The rate of clean-up of polluted
sites remains far below what is needed to protect
environmental and human health.
GORl a|ms to defne, quant|fy, set ||m|ts to, he|p c|ean
up, and devise new ways to curb the growing chemical
assault on human health and the biosphere.
lt w||| be an |nternat|ona| a|||ance of |ead|ng sc|ent|fc,
government, industry and community organisations and
individuals dedicated to a cleaner, healthier and safer
world. GCRI will seek to develop cost-effective, workable
solutions that can be readily adopted by industry,
governments and the community.
GCRI aims to be an international partnership involving
governments, |ndustry, sc|ent|fc organ|sat|ons and
commun|ty bod|es. lt w||| perform new sc|ent|fc research,
aggregate existing knowledge, develop novel assessment
and clean-up technologies, advise governments and
industry on ways to improve existing regulation or
industry practices, train high-level experts, and share
information about ways to reduce anthropogenic
contamination in all facets of human society and the
natural environment.
GCRIs key areas of research may include:
extent and circulation of anthropogenic contaminants
in the Earth System
estab||shment of sc|ent|fca||y cred|b|e 'boundar|es` to
limit release of certain key contaminants
impact of contaminant mixtures on human and
environmental health and human genetics
extent of contamination of the global food chain,
resulting risks and options for prevention
new methods for assessing and remediating
contamination and bioavailability, especially in cases
where pollutants cross national borders
green production, green manufacturing and new ways
to prevent future contamination
better ways to engage society, industry and
governments in understanding and sharing
responsibility for global clean-up.
