3.2 Construction Sequence<br />

The typical sequence <strong>for</strong> the <strong>earthworks</strong> in fill areas is as follows:<br />

• Temporary access road and associated drainage;<br />

• Perimeter drains and bunds installed along the boundary to divert clean <strong>water</strong> and to contain<br />

runoff on site;<br />

• Erosion and sediment controls installed;<br />

• Placement and compaction of fill;<br />

• Stabilise with clean aggregate or hydroseed;<br />

• Install permanent drainage works.<br />

The typical sequence <strong>for</strong> the <strong>earthworks</strong> in cut areas is as follows:<br />

• Temporary access road and associated drainage;<br />

• Perimeter drains and bunds installed along boundary to divert clean <strong>water</strong> and to contain runoff<br />

on site;<br />

• Erosion and sediment controls installed;<br />

• Strip topsoil and stockpile <strong>for</strong> later reuse;<br />

• Excavate material and place in fill elsewhere on the project site;<br />

• Stabilise the exposed surface as soon as practical after excavation with either clean aggregate<br />

or hydroseed;<br />

• Install permanent drainage works.<br />

3.3 Permanent Storm<strong>water</strong> Management<br />

Permanent <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> management will be through the construction of open drains and swales to<br />

collect, treat and transport the <strong>water</strong> to the modified <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> wetland system be<strong>for</strong>e discharging<br />

via existing discharge points. Where practicable permanent <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> drainage will be installed<br />

and utilised <strong>for</strong> erosion and sediment control purposes during the construction period (e.g. as clean<br />

<strong>water</strong> diversions).<br />

4 Erosion and Sediment Control<br />

4.1 Principles of Erosion and Sediment Control<br />

The key principles to be employed <strong>for</strong> an ESCP are to undertake land disturbing activities in a<br />

manner that reduces the potential <strong>for</strong> erosion of bare soils to occur (erosion control) and, to employ<br />

treatment devices to treat all sediment laden <strong>water</strong> prior to discharging from the site (sediment<br />

control). The basic erosion and sediment control principles applicable to this project are as follows:<br />

1 Minimise disturbed areas and time of exposure: Only work those areas required <strong>for</strong> construction<br />

to take place.<br />

2 Progressively stabilise disturbed areas.<br />

3 Control erosion at the source.<br />

4 Keep onsite runoff velocities low.<br />

5 Install Perimeter Controls: Divert clean <strong>water</strong> away from areas of disturbance and divert runoff<br />

from areas disturbed to sediment control measures.<br />

6 Retain sediment on site.<br />
