b) From all disturbed areas of the site to sediment basin(s) without causing
erosion
c. Minimise sediment released from the site.
i. Prior to each rainfall event ensure concentrated stormwater flow paths are
provided with capacity in accordance with IECA (2008) Table 4.3.1 and are
structurally stable in all rainfall events for the following sources:
a) Each basin is sized and operated in accordance with either a Type-A or
Type-B sediment basin as documented in IECA (2008) Appendix B (June
2018).
b) Each basin is to be provided with an automated system of flocculent dosing
and a suitable supply of flocculent/coagulant, with the type of
flocculent/coagulant determined based on Chemical Coagulants and
Flocculants Fact Sheet (IECA, 2018).
c) Markers are provided within each basin indicating the maximum sediment
storage level and any additional water storage capacity for water reuse.
d) During discharge from the primary outlet system, the concentration of total
suspended solids (“TSS”) discharged does not exceed 50mg/L and that pH
is within the range of 6.5-8.5 unless entering a naturally acidic environment.
ii. Install and maintain additional sediment control measures within the site, as
necessary to maximise sediment capture.
iii. Minimise the tracking of dirt from the site onto roadways. Ensure that all dirt on
roadways caused by vehicles leaving the site is removed without causing water
contamination, prior to rainfall and at least at the end of each work day.
40. Earthworks and the implementation of erosion and sediment controls are undertaken in ways
which ensure flooding characteristics (including stormwater quantity characteristics) external
to the development site are not worsened during construction for all events up to and
including the 1% AEP (1 in 100 year ARI) event.
41. Drainage paths must be regularly inspected to ensure the sediment fences/measures are not
being bypassed as a result of sediment build up. Sediment laden runoff must be prevented
from leaving the subject site and entering neighbouring properties and/or stormwater
systems.
42. Soil exposure must be limited on the site to a distance of no more than 2m beyond the extent
of earthworks shown on the approved plans except where the exposed soil is effectively
stabilised without delay and prior to rainfall occurring.
43. A log book for the Erosion and Sediment Control measures and inspections must be
maintained by the site manager and made readily available to Council when requested. The
supervising engineer must verify and endorsed the E&SC measures upon their installation,
and periodically check these measures and the log book during construction and the
stabilisation stages. Any defects in erosion and sediment control devices, such as sediment
fences, are to be inspected and documented. Upon Inspection, the contractor is to determine
whether the device should be replaced or repaired. Documentation is to include how the
damage was caused and what measures can be implemented to reduce the possibility of
repeat occurrences. Any damage to either permanent or temporary water quality control
structures or devices is to be immediately rectified at the contractor’s expense.
The effectiveness of the erosion and sediment control devices must be monitored. All ESC
measures are to be inspected:
a. at least daily (when work is occurring on site) or weekly (when work is not occurring on
site); or
b. within 24 hours of expected rain; or
