A facility to safely manage soil from the West Gate Tunnel Project.
The West Gate Tunnel is a State Significant road project.
To build it, large amounts of soil will be dug up, and a facility is needed to receive and safely manage the soil. Maddingley Brown Coal is proposing to develop Western Soil Treatment, a facility to manage the soil - known as spoil - some of which is expected to be contaminated with low levels of PFAS, a group of man-made chemicals.
The EPA has approved an Environmental Management Plan for the facility. The project also needs planning approval, and a contract from the West Gate Tunnel Project's builders before it can proceed. Western Soil Treatment will not receive any West Gate Tunnel Project spoil until the project’s builders award a contract.
