Particular Responsibilities

Corrective Action

The nature of the on-site sandy soils and the vegetated nature of the site will assist in mitigating against dust and the prohibition of
buming will avoid smoke related issues. Nevertheless, construction will involve earthworks, vehicle movements and other activities
with the potential to produce air-bome particulates locally.

To control dust and smoke in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Protection Act, 1994 and the Environmental
Protection (Air) Policy 1997 which preclude the release of dust in a manner that is unreasonable and causes environmental harm
(Part 4, Division 14, Environmental Protection (Air) Policy 1997)
