         harm. Environmental harm includes environmental nuisance. In this regard
         persons and entities, involved in the civil, earthworks and construction phases of
         development, are to adhere to their ‗general environmental duty‘ to minimise the
         risk of causing environmental harm. Environmental harm is defined by the Act as
         any adverse effect, or potential adverse effect whether temporary or permanent
         and of whatever magnitude, duration or frequency on an environmental value and

         interference with the environment or amenity of the area by reason of the
         emission of noise, vibration, smell, fumes, smoke, vapour, steam, soot, ash, dust,
