2022-02-17 Ordinary Meeting Agenda

ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA                                                          17 FEBRUARY 2022


          approval. * (Refer to Advisory Note).
    92.   The applicant must engage a CPESC, or other suitably trained professional, (i.e. who
          has completed the CPESC training, and has a minimum of 5 years site experience
          supervising Erosion and Sediment Control management) to undertake weekly site visits
          to inspect and certify whether or not required Erosion and Sediment controls are properly
          installed and maintained to achieve the requirements on this approval.
    93.   Construction must be managed such that less than 2,500m2 of soil is exposed at any
          time.
    94.   Exposed soil is only permitted between the months of May to October, and all
          catchments with these soils must drain to sediment treatment features to achieve 50mg/L
          TSS prior to release of waters from the site. Outside these months the site must achieve
          a C factor of 0.05 at all times.
    95.   A construction hold point with a council delegate and supervising RPEQ must be
          established prior to commencement of cut to fill earthworks for each stage of the
          development. The hold point must be held as soon as reasonably practical and prior to
          the first rain event forecast following initial tree clearing or removal of soil stabilising
          material for each stage. At the hold point inspection, all required sediment basins, drains
          and bunds to divert waters away from disturbed soil or soils about to become exposed
          through cut to fill activities must be installed. All areas that will not require earthworks in
          the imminent cut to fill operation must be stabilised to prevent entrainment of sediments
          into receiving waters.
    96.   Cut to fill earthworks must not commence until after the Supervising CPESC has certified
          that all installed erosion and sediment controls required by this approval are sized in
          accordance with conditions of the approval and the written acceptance of the certification
          is provided to the supervising RPEQ by Council officers.
    97.   Prescribed Water Contaminants (as defined in Schedule 10 of Environmental Protection
          Regulation 2019) must not be released from the site or to waters within the site, or be
          likely to be released should rainfall occur, unless all reasonable and practicable
          measures are taken to prevent or minimise the release and concentration of
          contamination.
    98.   Sediment and erosion control measures must be in place prior to works commencing. If
          such measures are not in place or are not satisfactory, “on the spot” fines may be issued.
          Such fines can be issued if sediments from the site are found to enter or have the
          potential to enter Council’s stormwater system, natural waterways, any downstream
          stormwater filtration system or adversely impacting on other properties. The sediment
          and erosion control design and measures have NOT been approved, it is the site's
          Supervising Engineer who is responsible for ensuring that the sediment and erosion
          control measures have:
          a.    Been duly designed by an RPEQ or CPESC and constructed in accordance with
                "best practise" methods;
          b.    Been revised by an RPEQ or CPESC to address the issues raised by changes in
                the projected construction schedule and/or methods;
          c.    Been revised to address predicted rainfall events, and
          d.    Achieve the desired environmental outcomes.
    99.   Council may request further controls to be installed should the implemented measures
          be found inefficient.
    100. The erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed and maintained
         in accordance with the supervising engineer instructions and the current best practice
         standards * (Refer to Advisory Note).
