• New road construction located as mapped ?

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Grade of newly constructed, upgraded or maintained road <10 deg or <15 deg in specific circumstances. Guidance refer to EPL schedule 5, cond 4 for circumstances where increasingroad grade to 15 is permissible.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Road batters stable? Guidance: no significant slumping (>10cu m) or delivering sediment to drainage feature

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Site specific Roading plan conditions implemented on newly constructed or upgraded ground on road slopes >30 deg. Guidance: refer to EPL sch 5 cond 24-29

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Site specific mass movement conditions implemented as per Roading plan. Guidance: refer to EPL shed 5 cond 30-32

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Site specific erosion and sediment control measures implemented as per Roading plan and maintained. Guidance: refer to EPL sch cond 10 a-e

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Road surface functioning effectively? Guidance: no significant deformation, no damage to road drainage structures. Damage can be fixed with rolling in. Road doesn't require resurfacing or regrading

  Yes

  No

• Crossing name

• Drainage feature type

  drainage line

• Structure type

  other

• Road surface and table drain drained at 5-30m (not outfall) or site specific techniques employed to prevent water pollution and road drained at first possible opportunity. Note mandatory on drainage lines and watercourses. Use on drainage depressions where practical. Guidance: refer to EPL sch 5 cond 38

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Crossing stable. Guidance causeways must be replaced or armoured if erosion or deformation occurs, gully stuffers must be removed if they become unstable during operation

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Right angled clearing and approach. Guidance: approach may be angled if it reduces ground and soil disturbance

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Drainage features, filter strips, protection zones and buffer zones clear of spoil and disturbed areas re shaped and stabilised

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Disturbed area 20m either side of watercourse, drainage line, wetland or swamp stabilised. Guidance: this does not include road surface, road drainage structures or cut batters. Temporary stabilisation measures must be put in place when the soil is saturated and machinery must not enter the disturbed area. Permanent measures must be put in place as soon as soil is not saturated.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Filter strips and protection zones are clear of substantial debris. Guidance: means logging debris >10cm diameter and >3m in length

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Fill batters stabilised where toe of fill enters filter strip or protection zone. Guidance: measures to stabilise the toe may include >70% ground over or artificial cover such as geotextile or erosion control mats

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Bridge embankments protected from table drain discharge and structures installed to prevent bridge pavement from entering drainage feature

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Culvert outlet stable, fill batter stabilised around pipe, inlet/outlet clear of fill material and structures installed to prevent culvert pavement entering drainage feature

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Causeway surface, on upstream and downstream side is no more than 100mm higher than invert level of drainage feature (fish passage)

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Soil erosion and sediment control measures implemented where there is a risk of water pollution. Guidance: where rainfall is forecast during construction or upgrading the crossing, the risk of sediment entering the drainage feature is high. Installation of temporary sediment control measures will reduce this risk

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Dispersible soil covered with stable material 20m either side of crossing. Guidance: includes road surface and table drain and batters ( if dispersive)

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Crossing constructed as per Roading plan including implementation of any site specific conditions.

  Media

• Guidance: target sections of road where connectivity to the drainage network is high (ie crossing approaches, lower slopes and valley bottoms, heads of drainage features). Check of minimum of 10 drains per road. Check drainage spacing along other sections where ther is evidence of excessive scour in table drains, road pavement and drainage outlets. Check conformance with site specific conditions.
