Contaminated Land

Land Contamination

Contaminated Site
Investigations

If a site has been used, or has potentially been used, for industry or activities that involve probable ground contamination, then it’s very likely an investigation will be required.

As part of this process, we investigate potentially contaminated land and plan any remediation of the site, including reports and plans to support resource consenting.

This gives you the peace of mind that your next steps will remove risk to human health and the environment.

Remediation
& Management

We tailor our approach to ensure pragmatic and sustainable remediation and management of contaminated sites.

The types of contaminants and the risk of exposure changes with every site. Morphum’s remediation planning services support consent or disposal requirements, and applications that address your specific needs.

Does your site need a contaminated land investigation?

The national environmental standard for assessing and managing contaminants in soil to protect human health (NESCS) ensures that land affected by contaminants in soil are appropriately investigated before it is developed.

These investigations will likely be required if there is probable ground contamination from a hazardous activity or industry and you plan to use the site for subdivision, earthworks, removal or replacement of a fuel storage system or if you plan on changing the land use. You can view the Hazardous Activities and Industries List (HAIL) here to see the full list.
