                              Erosion and Sediment Control
                      9.      Accepted best practice standards include:
                              a.       the Sunshine Coast Regional Council Manual for Erosion and Sediment
                                       Control V1.2 or other superseding document subsequently adopted by
                                       Council;
                              b.       Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control, International Erosion Control
                                       Association (2008)
                      10.     As a general rule, a site is determined to have achieved effective short-term
                              stabilisation if at the completion of the works:
                              a.       Methods of stabilisation are:
                                       i.    appropriate for slopes and slope lengths; and
                                       ii.   are consistent with best practice environmental management practices
                                             such as in the Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control or the IECA
                                             Manual; and
                              b.       Stormwater runoff from the site is not currently, and is not likely to result in
                                       visible evidence of sedimentation or erosion, or lead to water contamination.
                              c.       If at the time of the completion of the works, the method of short-term
                                       stabilisation has not achieved a level of stability that Council's Officers
                                       believe will have a high probability of achieving long term stability, Council
                                       Officers may take the following matters into consideration in determining
                                       whether the site is capable of achieving medium to long-term stability:
                              d.       Evidence that the site has been effectively stabilised in the short term;
                              e.       Evidence that soil has been adequately ameliorated;
                              f.       Evidence that seed of annual and perennial grass species has been applied
                                       at an adequate rate; and
                              g.       That grass seed has germinated at a density that is likely to achieve an
                                       effective grass cover.
                              ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
                              Environmental Protection Act
                      11.     It is a requirement of the Environmental Protection Act 1994 that if an owner or
                              occupier of land becomes aware that a Notifiable Activity (as defined by Schedule
                              2 of the Environmental Protection Act 1994) is being carried out on the land, or that
                              the land has been affected by a hazardous contaminant, they must, within 30 days
                              after becoming so aware, give notice to the Department of Environment &
                              Resource Management’s Contaminated Land Unit.
                      12.     A person must not carry out any activity that causes, or is likely to cause,
                              environmental harm unless the person takes all reasonable and practicable
                              measures to prevent or minimise the harm. Environmental harm is defined as any
                              adverse effect, or potential adverse effect whether temporary or permanent and of
                              whatever magnitude, duration or frequency on an environmental value and
                              includes environmental nuisance.
