Macquarie Island Hydrocarbon Investigation Synthesis Risk Assessment (HISRA) Appendix Tables

Full description

The Macquarie Island station area has been subject to various fuel spills over time and from 1993 to 2019 the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) pursued a program of applied research to remediate fuel contamination at specific locations across the station area. A comprehensive report of the AADs activities and findings was prepared and submitted to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) of Tasmania in 2023. This report (known as: Macquarie Island Station Hydrocarbon Investigation Synthesis and Risk Assessment (HISRA) Report 2023) compiles the Project’s comprehensive dataset, evaluates its quality and usability, and establishes whether the identified hydrocarbon contamination remaining at the site after remediation decommissioning in 2019 is likely to represent an ongoing risk to human health and/or ecological receptors.

The full report is provided with the parent record. This (child) record provides separate PDF files for Appendix A - K and a series of .xlsx file formats for the Appendix B data tables. The content and context of the appendices and tables are fully described in the report and should be interpreted in conjunction with the report.

Report is cited as: AAD 2023, Macquarie Island Station, Hydrocarbon Investigation Synthesis and Risk Assessment, A Cleaner Antarctica Section, Australian Antarctic Division, Kingston, Tasmania.

The files attached to this record are also stored in the Australian Antarctic Divisions Content Manager system within container ID: SF23/72.
