Acid Sulfate Soils Management Checklist- 0001-FRM-EN-0040

An acid sulfate soils management plan must be developed for sites with known ASS/PASS soils in accordance with the Tasmanian Acid Sulfate Soil Management Guidelines (DPIPWE 2015). The plan must:<br>• Identify areas of PASS/ASS materials within the site<br>• Provide procedures for the management of ASS/PASS soils, including stockpiling, remediation, treatment (lime dosing), reuse or disposal in accordance with relevant guidelines and standards.<br>• Identify approval requirements for disposal.

"In the event unanticipated PASS materials are discovered or suspected, the following must be undertaken:<br>• Works must cease, and the PEMR notified immediately, with works to remain ceased until the all clear to proceed has been given.<br>• Field screening tests must be conducted in accordance with the Tasmanian Acid Sulfate Soil Management Guidelines (DPIPWE 2015) by a suitably qualified person.<br>• Laboratory testing must be undertaken in the event PASS are identified from the screening test.<br>• In the event ASS soils are identified from the laboratory testing, an acid sulfate soils management plan must be developed in accordance with the Tasmanian Acid Sulfate Soil Management Guidelines (DPIPWE 2015)." <br>

All known areas of ASS/PASS will be communicated to site personnel via site induction, toolbox talks, pre-starts and Site Environmental Plans.

The movement of ASS/PASS materials must be tracked via the CDO Materials Tracking Form.

Water runoff from ASS/PASS stockpiles must be contained, treated and suitably disposed of.

A spill of ASS/PASS material outside of the ASS/PASS storage and/or treatment areas must be reported to the PEMR immediately.

The type and location of environmental control equipment and devices to manage, mitigate and monitor ASS/PASS shall be detailed and maintained in the SEP. Additional management and mitigation measures required to address site-specific conditions, legal requirements, and risk must be included in the SEP.
