3rd Stage: Detailed evaluation of the soil quality stage  
Third Stage: Detailed evaluation of the soil quality stage 

The documentation to be presented in the Detailed Evaluation Report of the soil quality must include:

A. Sampling of soils, waters and residues:
 
  • Description of field work carried out.
  • Justification of the parameters analysed, and also of the sampling methodology, location and depth of the sampling points so as to guarantee their representativeness.
  • Description of the procedures for sampling, conservation of samples and methods of analysis in order to ensure the reliability of the results obtained.
  • Presentation of the analytical results in table form.
  • Graphic representation of the field work and results: plans showing the location of the points sampled, lithological columns, maps of isoconcentrations, pressure measurements (piezometry) etc.
  • Appendix with the laboratory analysis bulletins.
  • B. Detailed investigation of the physical environment:
     
  • Amplification of the geological description, by means of geological cartography if necessary.
  • Hydrogeological study: identification of aquifers, hydrogeological parameters, flow direction, inventory of water points of the environment (surface and underground) and map of isopiezes.
  • C. Conceptual model of the affection and migration of the pollution:
     
  • Precise delimitation of the focus and extent of the pollution plume taking the different vectors into account
  • Identification and parameterisation of the transport mechanisms of the pollution that make it possible to understand how a particular pollution situation has been reached (characteristics of the pollutants, characteristics of the unsaturated area and hydraulic functioning of the underground waters).
  • Maps showing the pollutants and their concentrations and migration.
  • Graphic representation of the results: maps of isoconcentrations, pressure measurements (piezometry), lithological sections etc.
  • D. Risk analysis and evaluation of the results:
     
  • The minimum items to be contained in the evaluation of risks associated with polluted soils are those set out in annex VIII of RD 9/2005.
  • Calculations to find whether or not the risk for persons and the environment is acceptable .
  • Evaluation of the analysis, conclusions and, if appropriate, proposal for actions.
  • The description of the risk analysis methodology must be detailed and must include all the parameters used, scenarios considered, starting hypothesis, transport models of and calculation equations. Also the justification of the model used as well as its limitations.
  • E. Conclusions
     
  • Evaluation of the results, conclusions and, if appropriate, proposal for actions.
  •
