Initial
diagnostic and Simplified Risk Assessment
on a paper mill
On the site of a paper pulp manufacturing
plant, ORTEC Generale de Depollution carried
out a complete campaign of investigations
intended to complete the existing environmental
data concerning the degree of pollution
of the site.
A full report on the existing pollution
impacts was drawn up using forty soil
samples, ten drillings equipped with
piezometers and a ten-hour pumping
test. Following the SRA of the site,
the multi-parameter (mercury, hydrocarbons,
chromium, phenols, etc.) and multi-area
pollution of the soils and underground
water resulted in a final classification
of category 1.
ORTEC Generale de Depollution then recommended
various choices and scenarios of corrective
measures required to rehabilitate the site,
still in activity.
