The applicant shall undertake additional soil sampling at and around the area of TP6 to delineate the extent of the hydrocarbon and PAH contamination within the shallow soils. Samples should be submitted to an accredited UK laboratory and screened against relevant GACs for a residential with plant uptake standard. Samples should be taken from depths of 0.0-1.0mbgl. An appropriate capping system shall then be installed within the garden and landscaped areas confirmed from analysis. A minimum capping system shall be 800mm dept within the gardens of all houses within this area with a minimum of a 250mm crushed stone capillary break at the base overlain with clean subsoils and topsoil. A 600mm capping system is recommended in landscaping areas with a minimum of 200mm crushed stone capillary break in the base overlain with subsoil and topsoil. Install hydrocarbon vapour protection measures within any buildings that may be within the area identified in Figure 6 as a minimum based on the development plans provided within Figure 3. These protection measures should be incorporated into the proposed building floor designs for all properties within this area: • Provision of hydrocarbon vapour protection measures appropriate to prevent vapour intrusion within residential properties. • Concrete floor slabs (precast) with joins sealed and seals around any service entries. • Installation of a specific hydrocarbon vapour proof membrane suitable for hydrocarbon contaminants. The membrane should be hydrocarbon vapour proof, the membrane installed shall withstand the construction process.
