                      1.3     General environmental duty
                              The Environmental Protection Act 1994 describes that all persons in Queensland have a “General
                              Environmental Duty” and that “a person must not carry out an activity that causes, or is likely to cause
                              environmental harm unless the person takes all reasonable and practicable measures to prevent or
                              minimise the harm”.

                              The Act requires that appropriate action be taken to report that environmental harm is occurring or has
                              the potential to occur, unless the harm is authorised under an environmental protection policy, an
                              environmental management program, a development approval, or an environmental protection order.
                              This is known as the “Duty to Notify”. Failure to fulfil this duty is an offence and may result in prosecution.
                      1.4     DMP objectives
                              The objectives of the DMP are to:

                              1.   Describe the dewatering methodology, groundwater treatment, monitoring and reporting
                                   procedures to be employed at the site during dewatering activities.

                              2.   Provide effective management procedures to prevent environmental harm resulting from the
                                   discharge of extracted groundwater from the site.
                      1.5     Scope of work
                              To achieve the investigation objectives, the following scope of work was undertaken:

                                  A desktop study including:

                                   1. Review of the development proposal and proposed shoring/dewatering designs.
                                   2. Review of geology and soil maps for the area.
                                   3. Search of groundwater bores licensed by the Queensland Government within a 200 m radius of
                                      the site.
                                   4. Review of relevant existing reports and groundwater data from the local area.
                                   5. Review of current aerial photographs of the site and surrounds.

                                  The preparation of this Dewatering Management Plan suitable for submission to Noosa Shire
                                   Council (NSC), if required.
