The Implementation Phase will run simultaneously with the Sampling Phase with abatements works being conducted in accordance with the LAS implementation document.
Once the Implementation Phase has commenced, participants will be contacted by a member of the LAS Team to arrange a suitable time for a qualified contractor to attend the property to perform the required works pursuant to the strategy category (as outlined in the Sampling Phase) at no cost to the Participant. Participants who wish to undertake additional works do so at their own cost.
The LAS team will write to the participants and advise of the level of works to be completed at the property.
Prior to any work commencing at the property, the participant must confirm in writing that they agree to the proposed works.
Refer to the above table for the extent of works to be completed.
The contractor assigned to participating properties will vary depending on the scope of works and expertise required. The LAS Team will ensure that a suitably experienced and qualified contractor will complete the works at each participating property.
Participants can elect to withdraw from the LAS at any stage and elect to carry out their own abatement work at their own expense. In this event, individuals can make arrangements with the LAS Team to deposit the contaminated material from their property at the PCCS site prior the closure of the containment cell.
If a participant elects to withdraw from the LAS they must notify the LAS team in writing.
