Royal Park
The EPA commenced an environmental assessment in a part of Royal Park in August 2023.
Stage 1 results confirmed that per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are present in shallow groundwater.
The Stage 2 assessment will involve the expansion of the assessment area boundary to the south and southwest so that the extent of PFAS in groundwater can be further investigated.
The assessment will commence early April 2024, and include the installation of monitoring wells in road verges. The proposed groundwater monitoring well locations are marked on the map. Traffic controls will be in place around these locations during well installation.
