Best practice erosion and sediment controls must be installed to minimise the discharge of sediment
laden runoff during construction and to achieve the objectives outlined in Tables 2-4. This is discussed
in the following section.
4.2.2 E ro sio n and Se dim en t Co ntr ol

Management of stormwater runoff during construction is necessary to avoid pollution of downstream
waterways from sediment and gross pollutant loading. Impacts of inadequate erosion and sediment
control downstream from the site include:

    •   traffic safety problems;

    •   blocked drains;

    •   local flooding problems;

    •   aesthetic pollution of drainage paths; and

    •   damage to local ecosystems.
Best practice erosion and sediment controls must be installed to minimise the discharge of sediment
laden runoff during construction. Erosion and sediment control plans shall be developed during detailed
design phase and must be continually maintained and amended as required to minimise environmental
harm.
