BOTANY REMEDIATION PROJECTS
Groundwater Cleanup Project
The Orica Botany Groundwater Cleanup Project manages groundwater contamination beneath Botany Industrial Park (BIP), and prevents it from entering Botany Bay.
Overview of the Botany Groundwater Cleanup Project
Overview of the Botany Groundwater Cleanup Project
As a result of manufacturing activities that no longer occur, the groundwater beneath Botany Industrial Park (BIP) and nearby areas has been contaminated with chemical compounds commonly known as chlorinated hydrocarbons (CHCs).
Orica is responsible for managing the groundwater contamination caused by its historical operations and is committed to cleaning it up to prevent long-term environmental damage.
Orica established the Botany Groundwater Cleanup Project to manage the groundwater contamination and prevent it from entering Botany Bay. This is achieved by hydraulically containing the contaminated groundwater and treating it to usable standard at a Groundwater Treatment Plant (GTP).
