Abstract
The Sydney 2000 Olympic site covers approximately 760 hectares of land that was previously utilised for industrial activities, military armament stores and domestic/industrial waste disposal. Due to these past events approximately 202 hectares of this land was contaminated with a variety of man-made pollutants. A significant portion of this contamination originated from an historic town gas plant, once located at Wilson Park in the northwest section of the Olympic 2000 precinct.
A combination of approved containment and enhancement of the natural bioremediation of volatile organic compounds, low molecular weight PAHs and phenols, has been chosen as the preferred methodology to achieve the remediation goals of providing an environmentally safe site by the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.
