wastewater treatment plant
(OP)
Hello
After demolishing an old wastewater treatment plant our client wants us to perform a geotechnical study ( i should call it a geo environmental study perhaps) on the site. He is thinking that potential contamination from the plant may be there and that for future projects this needs to be investigated to mitigate their effects. I have never done such a job, my basic knowledge is that wastewater treatment plant removes nitrates from the water for it to be potable . So i proposed we conduct a series of chemical analysis specifically nitrates content since in literature; nitrates are known to be deleterious chemicals .
What do you guys think ? ( the client doesn't know what future projects they may built there )

Dik
RE: wastewater treatment plant
Arsenic
pH
Cadmium
Total Sulphate
Chromium Water
Soluble Sulphate
Copper
Total Phenols
Nickel
BTEX Compounds (Benzene, Toluene,Ethylbenzene, Xylene)
Lead Sulphide
Mercury
Speciated Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH)
Selenium
Organic Matter Content
Zinc
Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH)
But as Dik has said, you really need an expert to determine the range and quantity of tests
Good luck
