 d)    for  acid   sulfate  areas—the     on the subject site. The proposed
 generation or release of acid and        compound area is relatively small (10 m
 associated metal contaminants into the   x 12 m) and therefore, any runoff will
 environment is avoided                   be minimal and unlikely to increase the
                                          risk of overland flooding issues in the
                                          vicinity of the site, with no increase in
                                          the risk to people, property or the
                                          natural environment, or in the extent or
                                          severity of the hazard.

                                          Furthermore, the proposal involves
                                          excavation of less than 100 m³ of soil
                                          material    (subject  to  geotechnical
                                          investigations). Any disturbed acid
                                          sulphate soil will be treated and
                                          managed in accordance with the
                                          current Queensland standards.

                                          For these reasons, the proposed
                                          development is considered to comply
                                          with the Natural Hazards Area Code and
                                          further assessment is not considered
                                          necessary.
