Remediation
Askern Colliery – Doncaster CL:AIRE Report TPD 12
Askern Colliery is located in the town of Askern, approximately 10 miles north of Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
Askern Colliery was a derelict colliery and coke works, consisting of two shafts with the associated process
and ancillary installations. The site was identified, with many other colliery sites in Yorkshire during the
1980s, as requiring redevelopment to encourage local economies and prosperity. The responsibility of the
redevelopment was placed with the relevant regional development agencies. Askern Colliery fell under the
jurisdiction of Yorkshire Forward.

Ecologia were asked by 3R to provide bioremediation services for the treatment of 1,500 cubic metres of hydrocarbon contaminated soils at a Persimmon Homes development. The soils had already been subject to ‘bioremediation’ by another contractor but the contaminant concentrations had not changed due to non-aeration of the soils. This case study highlights the need to engineer bioremediation to allow the effective removal of factors that are limiting
the natural degradation of the hydrocarbons and what can be achieved when it is done correctly.
