                                                                                            ADG Consulting Pty Ltd

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.
