Detailed Erosion and Sediment Control design and plans should be documented by a suitably experienced
professional in conjunction with any application, or prior to commencing with the Operational Works
associated with the proposed development on site.

5.1.1    Soil Cover

Disturbed areas are to be stabilised as soon as possible following construction. Clearing of existing soil cover
shall be limited to only the areas necessary to undertake building work; and cleared as close as possible to the
commencement of the works in that area.

Areas of bare soil not actively being worked on shall be covered to limit erosive actions with mulch (gravel,
straw or wood chip) or sheeting such as plastic or geo-textile.

5.1.2    Stockpile Protection

Stockpiles shall be protected by covering with plastic or geotextile sheeting when not in use, ensuring that
the stockpiles are not placed on top of sediment barriers such as sediment fences and ensuring stockpiles are
not located in overland flow paths.

If unavoidable, run-off is to be directed around the stockpile (not for sites less than 450m2) with a cut-off
drain.

5.1.3    Kerb to allotment groundcover

Exposed soil between the lot boundary and the kerb shall be covered as soon as possible with turf or
temporarily covered with mulch or sheeting.

Stockpiles shall be fully contained within the lot and not on the verge unless specifically approved by the
local authority.

5.1.4    Sediment Control of entry and exit areas

Measures shall be adopted to establish a formal stable entry/exit area such as a rock-pad or shaker grid. Any
formalised entry or exit sediment control point shall be well maintained and appropriate to prevent run-off,
and consist of a rock-pad or shaker grid that is at least 2m wide, and extending from the kerb to the building
pad.
