  • This April 2018 Site Assessment Report and Remediation Action Plan, prepared by WSP Environmental (Pty) Ltd for ArcelorMittal South Africa (AMSA), evaluates land and groundwater contamination at the Vanderbijlpark steel mill. The report concludes that while soil impacts are generally low risk, substantial groundwater contamination exists on the western boundary due to historical coal tar sludge deposition in Dam 10, which created a Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) plume extending approximately 2.5km west. The report recommends a shift from informal DNAPL abstraction to enhanced natural attenuation via chemical dosing, alongside consolidated groundwater monitoring and further investigation of specific soil contamination in the southeast.
