The City of Busselton has completed a trial pit of approximately 4 tons of sediment removal on a section of the lower Vasse River. The purpose of the trial was to see how the material reacts when excavated/handled and will also undergo various tests including ASS (Acid Sulphate Soils) and water content. As this was a trial, there were no requirements to get any specific additional approvals. The material will be transported to the City’s transfer facility and will be further inspected and treated for ASS.
