Delineate site perimeter to prevent disturbing areas outside the project limits. Sediment fences should be installed around the perimeter of works to ensure contaminated runoff is filtered and sediment is trapped before leaving the site. Sandbags or geofabric should also be placed around/over existing stormwater inlets/grates throughout the site to ensure that any contaminated runoff is filtered before it enters the existing piped stormwater network. Retain Sediment Retain sediment-laden waters from disturbed, active areas within the site. Stabilised Vehicle Entry/Exit Point To minimise transport of sediment off site, a stabilised entry/exit point will be constructed. All vehicles entering and leaving the site must use this designated entry/exit point. Stockpiles Stockpile locations should be identified before the commencement of works. Ideally, they should be located in a flat area at least 15m from any water body or stormwater inlet. Sediment fences should be installed downslope of all erodible stockpiles, and upslope protection measures should be used (i.e. sandbags or sediment fence) to divert runoff in the event of rain. At the end of each working day stockpiles should be covered with geofabric if rain or high winds are forecast. Street Sweeping Ensure that local roads are swept as required. This will minimise the potential for sediment tracked onto the road to be washed into the stormwater system. If a large quantity of sediment is being tracked onto the surrounding streets the stabilised entry/exit point may need to be raked or reinforced with rock to provide more effective sediment removal for vehicles. Erosion Control Matting and Permanent Stabilisation Exposed areas onsite should be permanently stabilised (i.e. with turf) as the construction works progress. Erosion control matting or mulching should be used as a temporary measure to stabilize exposed areas before permanent stabilisation can be undertaken. Monitoring Monitoring and recording of the performance of the drainage control devices including are to be undertaken in accordance with local government requirements. It is further recommended that the proposed construction works are undertaken during periods of dry weather to reduce the potential for sediment to be transported off site during construction.
