This paper describes the soil remediation techniques that were employed at five bulk petroleum storage depots across southern Africa and the results of the remediation process. The different sites were remediated using up to date technologies, in as timeous a manner as possible. The remediation trains that were employed were specifically designed for the specific site, based on available technologies and products. The paper takes a case study approach and describes site by site the characteristics of the site, the areas of identified contamination to be remediated and the type of remediation train that was implemented. In most cases soil samples were taken before, during and after the remediation process in order to assess the success of the remediation plan. The sites were remediated through a commercial remediation company and thus a number of limiting factors were imposed, mostly due to budget and availability of technology constraints. However it is shown that in spite of these constraints, the effective remediation of hydrocarbon contaminated petroleum storage depots in southern Africa is possible. / Prof. J.T. Harmse

According to Environment Canada, across the country there are currently over 1400 abandoned gas station sites that are contaminated. Unbeknownst to local residents, many of these sites are undergoing remediation. Temporary interventions called remedial landscapes can be designed by landscape architects to communicate to the public the remediation activities, which are otherwise hidden from view. Environmental psychologists note that pro-environmental behaviour stems from increased awareness of environmental degradation. Furthermore, by presenting first hand information in the form of a landscape, people can make their own decisions concerning their role in unsustainable practices. This thesis posits that by experiencing remedial landscapes, people will change their environmental attitudes and or behaviours. Remedial landscapes also offer opportunities for public art and further exploration of alternative forms of remediation. It includes not only precedent studies of other remedial landscapes, but a public perception survey concerning a gas station undergoing remediation in Kerrisdale, Vancouver. The survey indicated that the remediation of contaminated sites is a community concern and that the remediation should be made more visible. Participants also agreed that the use of a designed landscape would be a viable tool for communicating the status of the site. This research informed a set of design guidelines for the Kerrisdale ‘test site.’ A remedial landscape has been designed using these guidelines and is included as part of the thesis. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Architecture and Landscape Architecture (SALA), School of / Graduate
