      the Covey’s Stormwater Management Plan (M25-0042Rpt, Issue A) dated February 2025
      and which addresses the following:
      a.    Specify the final HES basin detail from the range of options presented in the report,
            including consideration of whether a Type-B HES basin may present a lower-risk option
            compared to the flap-gated arrangement proposed to prevent back-flows into the Type-
            A arrangement as currently proposed;
      b.    Include all details for the sizing and proposed levels of the HES basin within the body
            of the report, based on recent detailed survey at the point of discharge and

      project, the design of the fill pad and the Flood Assessment are to be updated to incorporate
      a system for flow conveyance and distribution along the northern boundary of the fill pad
      which achieves greater replication of existing flow patterns to the retained vegetation north
      of the works. This is required in order to mitigate potential changes in wetness resulting from
