Learn More About Acid Sulfate Soil Management Plans
Acid sulfate soils (ASS) are estuarine sediments containing iron sulfide minerals and produce large amounts of sulfuric acid. The acid can release toxic quantities of iron, aluminium, and heavy metals from the soil. These pollutants can seep into waterways, killing fish and contaminating drinking water. Land uses on acid sulfate soils include residential estates, marinas, sand and gravel extractions, and road constructions. While acid sulfate soil harms the environment, animals, and humans, it can be successfully managed.
Our team can devise an acid sulfate soil management plan to treat the contaminant. However, the appropriate strategy depends on the acid sulfate soil's physical and chemical characteristics and the site's environmental sensitivity. We will survey the area and test the soil to determine the ideal management plan. Our team is ready to use their expertise and experience to help you make the contaminated area livable and productive.
