Historic City New City Centre Centre Station Area
Best option: to develop the station area and improve the connection to the city centre
New City Centre Station Area
Focus on developing station area
A massive area development project
27 projects - total investment ± € 3.000.000.000
Partners
NS Stations
Total investments estimated: ± € 3 billion
.. doing nothing was not an option (anymore)..
Extremely intensive use op of space Huidige situatie straat

polluted ground
180 million cubic meter polluted
Areas of concentrated soil pollution
Focus on a specific type of soil pollution
VOCL: volatile organic chlorine compounds
Characteristics of VOCL • very mobile (drinkingwater) • evaporate: carcinogenic • biological remediation
Problem • It was not permitted to let pollution spread in the aquifer according to the former Law on Soil Conservation • The law required a single case-orientated approach
• Our station area, with up to 30 projects, asked for an area based conceptual approach
Conceptual instead of case-orientated
Station Area Utrecht: The Dutch Pilot Area changing the Law on Soil Conservation Pilots:
•Smart monitoring network
•ATES as remediation measure
•Area focussed groundwater management
This is part of the 2009-2013 Interreg / Citychlor initiative, A financial instrument of the European Union’s Cohesion Policy
Monitoring Network
Numbers • Monitoring wells
750
• Length filters
15 km
• Monitoring
500.000 analyses
• Estimated costs
€ 17.000.000,-
• term

Underground • Biowashingmachine: mixing • Stimulation biological remediation
