Asbestos remediation work has begun at the former Munmorah Power Station site on Scenic Dr at Colongra.
The work, being carried out by Generator Property Management (GPM) and Enviropacific Services, will address historical asbestos-containing materials that were illegally dumped in bushland surrounding the site over a number of decades.
GPM has been working closely with relevant authorities to ensure the safe and compliant removal of the material.
The work is being executed by fully licensed and insured asbestos removal contractors.
The remediation process is being conducted in accordance with all applicable regulations and guidelines to protect the health and safety of workers and the community.
“We understand that the presence of asbestos may be a concern for local residents,” Generator Property Management CEO David Wood said.
“This small package of work addresses these legacy tip sites and when complete will improve the safety of local residents.
“The work poses minimal risk; the EPA are fully aware of the activity and are supportive of the initiative.
“It is expected that all work will be completed by the middle of March.
“We want to assure the community that this is an historical issue associated with illegal dumping on the property and we are committed to addressing it responsibly.”
Residents with questions or concerns are encouraged to contact GPM’s community information line at 1800 817 711.
