                        The disturbance of ASS avoids the release
                        of acid and metal contaminants by:
                       (a)    undertaking an ASS investigation
                              conforming to the National Acid
                              Sulfate Soils Guidance;
                       (b)    neutralising existing acidity and
                              preventing the generation of acid and
                              metal contaminants using strategies
                              documented in the Soil Management
                              Guidelines; and
                       (c)    preventing the release of surface or
                              groundwater flows containing acid and
                              metal contaminants into the
                              environment.

                        they are managed in accordance with an
                        ASS management plan.
