General Environmental Duty Questions (assessment of compliance with minimum practises which constitue ‘reasonable and practicable’:

  Yes

  No

  N/A

  No

  N/A

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• (f) Have the plan(s) been modified as necessary to address the changing physical conditions of the site? <br>

  Yes

  No

  N/A

Avoidance of non-essential exposure of soil

• (a) Is The extent of clearing restricted to that necessary for access to, and operation of the approved activity with vegetation remaining intact or protected in all other areas of the site.<br>

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• (b) Is the duration of exposure is minimised, such that:<br>• if clearing is undertaken in areas which are not intended to be immediately worked, such areas are effectively stabilised immediately following clearing?

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• And, areas at finished level or where the activity has ceased are effectively stabilised?<br>

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• And, steep areas, such as stockpiles, batters and embankments, which are not being actively worked, are effectively stabilised?<br>

  Yes

  No

  N/A

Managing Stormwater Flows:

• (a) Do All concentrated stormwater flows (including ‘clean’ stormwater and ‘dirty’ stormwater) have concentrated flow paths, such as drainage lines, diversion drains, channels and batter chutes (where applicable) which have been designed, constructed and maintained to convey the runoff generated from all storm events up to and including the average recurrence interval (ARI) of a 1 in 10 ARI storm event without causing water contamination, sheet, rill or gully erosion, sedimentation, or damage to structures or property?<br>

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• (b) Is clean stormwater diverted around or through the site?<br>

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• (c1)Does the diversion cause an increase in the concentrations of any contaminants in the clean stormwater flows?

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• (c2)Does the diversion cause erosion (on site and/or off site)?<br>

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• (d) Sediment basins must be sized to accommodate the additional volume of runoff.<br><br>(i) Is any sediment basin operated at the site operated in such a manner that within 120 hours of the most recent rainfall event, the required design capacity of the storage volume is available for capture and storage of stormwater runoff from the next rainfall event?

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• (ii) Is the capacity to store sediment in the basin designed such that the sediment storage zone is equal to 50% of the upper settling volume?

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• An alternative basin design, referred to as a high efficiency sediment basin, may incorporate the following:
  • a rain activated flocculant/coagulant dosing system
  • a sediment forebay for primary sediment removal
  • a spreader bar or weir structure between the forebay and the sediment basin to cause laminar flow (i.e. limit turbulence) from the forebay to the basin
  • a hydraulicly efficient sediment basin for secondary sediment removal
  • a staged floating off take which preferentially releases the cleanest water begins releasing as the pond starts to fill, and increases the release flow rate corresponding to increases in water depth within the basin.

• (b) Are sediment basins spillways structurally sound and in accordance with the requirements of the stormwater management plans?

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• (d) Are sediment basins dewatered as soon as practicable (but not more than 120hrs) following rainfall events? <br>

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• is the basin sized to accommodate the additional capacity?

  No

  N/A

• (c) Are erosion and sediment controls implemented to minimise erosion and maximise sediment capture in areas of the site where it is not feasible to direct runoff to a sediment basin(s)?

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• (d) Are erosion controls applied to effectively protect steep areas, (such as stockpiles, batters and embankments) which are currently being worked or are not effectively stabilised, from erosion (including sheet, rill and gully erosion) caused by run-on flows from the upslope catchment, and are such flows conveyed to lower levels without causing erosion (for example via a stable drain, chute, flume or pipe)?

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• (e) Are sediment controls applied to effectively capture sediment eroded from steep areas, (such as stockpiles, batters and embankments) which are currently being worked or not effectively stabilised (for example, a sediment fence immediately down slope of such steep areas)?

• (f) Are erosion and sediment controls installed correctly?<br>
