Industrial/PCB: 2000 Olympic Games Australia Alberta, Canada Alberta, Canada Makinsons, Newfoundland, Canada Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada Download our .pdf handout here: Our Experience, Your Alternative		In 1999 the Australian Olympic Coordination Authority (OCA) initiated and international search to locate a proven technology to facilitate the remediation of a site adjacent to the 2000 Games Olympic Village contaminated with dioxins/furans and chlorobenzenes. This site was located on an abandoned pesticides production facility at Homebush Bay in Sydney, Australia. In keeping with the regulatory goals of the Australian environmental authority and the stated principles of the OCA a comprehensive, non-incineration, on-site solution was demanded. Members of the PS2 Management Team were contracted to provide and operate a suitable thermal desorption technology to work in concert with an Australian supplied on-site dechlorination technology. The project success was publicly recognized by the Australian branch of Greenpeace and promoted as the preferred method for management of persistent organic pollutants worldwide.
