Ecological Assessment Letter Report · MCU26/0104

Mitigations
Reference should be made to the Procedural Guide - Releases to waters from building sites and small
construction sites (less than 2500m2)6 (provided by DETSI) to implement appropriate erosion and
sediment control measures such as:
▪    Earthwork activities to remove existing soil cover should only occur immediately before building work
     starts.
▪    Covering stockpiles when not in use and ensuring stockpiles are not located in overland flow paths.
▪    Establish a formal stable entry/exit area to the construction site, for example a rock-pad.
To prevent sediment being deposited downslope during a storm event, sediment fencing should be
installed around the perimeter of the construction area. Monitoring (particularly after storm events) needs
to take place to ensure the effectiveness of the fencing.
