ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES                                                       17 FEBRUARY 2022


        96.   Cut to fill earthworks must not commence until after the Supervising CPESC has
              certified that all installed erosion and sediment controls required by this approval
              are sized in accordance with conditions of the approval and the written acceptance
              of the certification is provided to the supervising RPEQ by Council officers.
        97.   Prescribed Water Contaminants (as defined in Schedule 10 of Environmental
              Protection Regulation 2019) must not be released from the site or to waters within
              the site, or be likely to be released should rainfall occur, unless all reasonable and
              practicable measures are taken to prevent or minimise the release and
              concentration of contamination.
        98.   Sediment and erosion control measures must be in place prior to works
              commencing. If such measures are not in place or are not satisfactory, “on the
              spot” fines may be issued. Such fines can be issued if sediments from the site are
              found to enter or have the potential to enter Council’s stormwater system, natural
              waterways, any downstream stormwater filtration system or adversely impacting
              on other properties. The sediment and erosion control design and measures have
              NOT been approved, it is the site's Supervising Engineer who is responsible for
              ensuring that the sediment and erosion control measures have:
              a.    Been duly designed by an RPEQ or CPESC and constructed in accordance
                    with "best practise" methods;
              b.    Been revised by an RPEQ or CPESC to address the issues raised by
                    changes in the projected construction schedule and/or methods;
              c.    Been revised to address predicted rainfall events, and
              d.    Achieve the desired environmental outcomes.
        99.   Council may request further controls to be installed should the implemented
              measures be found inefficient.
        100. The erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed and
             maintained in accordance with the supervising engineer instructions and the
             current best practice standards * (Refer to Advisory Note).
        101. The developer must ensure non-essential exposure of soil is prevented by
             restricting the extent of disturbance and minimising the duration of soil exposure to
             adverse weather conditions and effectively turf, cover or stabilise any disturbed
             area without delay and prior to rainfall occurring.
        102. The developer in conjunction with the engaged CPESC must ensure measures
             installed to divert the upstream water are designed and certified by the supervising
             RPEQ and installed prior to commencement of bulk earthworks.
        103. The developer must ensure sediment does not leave the site or enter onto
             adjoining properties or Council’s drainage system due to surface runoff or on tyres
             of vehicles and/or machinery. It is essential to implement appropriate approved
             erosion and sediment control measures throughout the site during all phases of
             construction including vehicle shakedown pad/grid (or similar) at the access to the
             construction site. Where sediments or other contaminants are deposited on a road,
             they must be removed so as not to enter Council’s drainage system or waterways.
        104. Prior to the completion of the development, all site surfaces must be effectively
             stabilised. For the purpose of this condition, an effectively stabilised surface is
             defined as one that does not, or is not likely to result in visible evidence of soil loss
             caused by sheet, rill or gully erosion or lead to sedimentation, or lead to water
             contamination.
