              Specific Outcome                                  Measures                                 Comment

                                           c) Minimise the area of impervious surfaces and
                                          compacted soils;
                                          d) Ensure that contaminated areas, exposed sites,
                                          unstable areas and areas with contaminated wash
                                          water are isolated with clean runoff diverted
                                          around such area without causing scouring or
                                          concentrated flows;
                                           e) For clean runoff (including roof water), use of
                                          surface design to slow overland flow velocity and to
                                          encourage maximum soakage and infiltration
                                          (except in unstable areas);
                                           f) Protect natural stormwater flow paths;
                                          g) Prevent any effluent from overflow at any stage
                                          in its treatment and disposal process (including
                                          effluent from sewage treatment and other effluent
                                          producing land uses);
                                          h) Intercept and treat runoff and sediment from
                                          road ways and other impervious surfaces at the
                                          point of source to prevent oil, grease, chemicals,
                                          silt, trace metals, nutrients such as phosphorus and
                                          nitrogen and other contaminants from entering the
                                          environment;
                                          i) Use filter strips at the point of erosion source and
                                          at stormwater discharge points;
