5. Public access to the coast
    Refer to attached drawing 33020-0-03. There will be no adverse affect on public
        access to the foreshore.

6. Water Quality Management
    There will be no impact on water quality. The new seawater pump will be electric
       not diesel negating any opportunity for spills. The new slurry pumps are also
       electric. There will be no discharge other than seawater and the sand slurry.

7. Stormwater Management
    Refer design drawings
    The overflow pipe will extend to the top of the beach close to its current location.
       The beach profile has not changed during the course of the current trial other than
       some scouring at the discharge point that is quickly filled in once the tide is in. The
       discharge will be significantly reduced with the new system so accordingly will be
       of less concern. If there is an issue, a flexible pipe will be attached to the end to
       extend further down the beach.

8. Acid Sulphate Soils
    Refer attached report

9. Biodiversity
    The site is not located within a fish habitat area.
    During the trial program there has been no indication of interference with soft
        bottom benthic or marine life. No marine life has been noted on the screen.

Yours faithfully,
