(a)     does not disturb ASS; or                                  (a)   undertaking an ASS investigation and soil analysis
(b)     is managed to avoid or minimise the release of acid and         according to the National Acid Sulfate Soils Guidance;
        metal contaminants, where disturbance of ASS is           (b)   not excavating or otherwise removing soil or sediment
        unavoidable.                                                    containing ASS;
