 Advice

 1.          Capital Dredging
             As per the Dredging and Allocation of Quarry Material Guideline, capital dredging involves
             dredging a site for the first time. The proposed dredging activity is considered to be capital
             dredging because the dredge area has been expanded.

             Please note that water related risks and emissions, including relevant environmental
             values, may generally be higher with capital dredging as opposed to maintenance dredging.
