                      Erosion and Sediment Control
               40.    A ‘for construction’ Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (E&SCP) must be provided to
                      Council’s Delegate at least 2 weeks prior to the on-site pre-start meeting and prior to works
                      commencing. The E&SCP must:
                      a.      be prepared by a suitably qualified and experienced professional;
                      b.      be updated to reflect the current phase of the works (including clearing, earthworks,
                              civil construction, services installation and landscaping) and detail the type, location,
                              sequence and timing of measures and actions to effectively minimise erosion, manage
                              flows and capture sediment;
                      c.      be consistent with current best practice standards to the extent that the standards are
                              not inconsistent with the conditions of approval and taking into account all
                              environmental constraints including erosion hazard, season, climate, soil, and
                              proximity to waterways;
                      d.      provide sufficient detail regarding the manner in which compliance with all conditions
                              of this permit relating to E&SC is to be achieved;
                      e.      include details of proposed flocculants and automatic dosing systems for sediment
                              basins, including jar testing results. Demonstrate the suitability of the proposed
                              flocculant having regard to the downstream receiving environment and water quality;
                              and
                      f.      include the results of all soil investigations undertaken for the site and on which the
                              E&SCP is based.
               41.    A construction hold point inspection with a Council delegate is required following the removal
                      of existing ground cover (i.e., grass) and prior to the commencement of the bulk earthworks.
                      At the time of the inspection, the erosion and sediment controls prescribed by the supervising
                      RPEQ or CPESC must be installed in accordance with current best practice standards.
                      Written certification from the supervising RPEQ or CPESC must be provided to Council
                      certifying that the on-site controls satisfy the conditions of this approval.
               42.    A logbook of all Erosion & Sediment Control (E&SC) activities must be prepared for the
                      development and maintained until the completion of the works. The logbook must be made
                      available to the Council upon request, within five (5) business days of the date of the request.
                      Each entry into the logbook must document the extent of works, the date the works occurred
                      and any observations or notes. It is expected that logbook entries may include, but are not
                      limited to:
                      a.      amendments to the E&SC plan(s);
                      b.      maintenance of any erosion and sediment controls;
                      c.      emptying of detention basins (with Discharge Authority Certificates);
                      d.      inspections by the supervising RPEQ or CPESC; or
                      e.      any breaches of sediment exiting the site.
