 (2) ensures that the disturbance of ASS avoids or
 minimises the mobilisation release of acid and
 metal contaminants by:
     (a) neutralising existing acidity and preventing
     the generation of acid and metal contaminants,
     and
     (b) preventing the release of surface or
     groundwater flows containing acid and metal
     contaminants into the environment.
