Pahse 1 consists of the western section of the proposed works and includes the existing wetland.<br />
The majority of the area is currently dry vegetated land making <strong>earthworks</strong> possible without the<br />
need <strong>for</strong> clean <strong>water</strong> diversions. Completing the works in three stages will minimise the potential <strong>for</strong><br />
sediment to enter the clean <strong>water</strong> system by maintaining a separation between the open <strong>earthworks</strong><br />
areas and existing channels.<br />
Stage 1 consists mainly of <strong>for</strong>ebay works and requires a volume of 5,500m 3 of <strong>earthworks</strong>.<br />
Excavated material will be utilised in the eastern boundary bund or temporarily stockpiled on the<br />
existing vegetated areas to allow <strong>for</strong> drainage. Stockpiles will be positioned away from the clean<br />
<strong>water</strong> areas. Water will continue to enter the existing wetland via the open drain along the eastern<br />
boundary. A silt fence will be installed between the <strong>for</strong>ebay works and open drain so as to avoid<br />
sediment from the works mixing with clean <strong>water</strong> flows. Upon completion of the <strong>for</strong>ebay, <strong>water</strong> shall<br />
be diverted to the west of the silt fence so that works can be undertaken on the existing open drain.<br />
Undertaking the <strong>for</strong>ebay works first will allow <strong>for</strong> the existing pond to be used as a temporary<br />
sediment retention pond. The <strong>for</strong>ebay will be utilised to remove sediment from dirty <strong>water</strong> entering<br />
the wetland from the Maranui culvert. This approach will reduce the potential <strong>for</strong> adverse affects of<br />
the project on the SES13 beyond the <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> treatment wetland as potentially sediment laden<br />
<strong>water</strong> from the Marunui <strong>catchment</strong> works will be treated.<br />
The total volume of <strong>earthworks</strong> required <strong>for</strong> Stage 2 and Stage 3 works is approximately 20,000m 3 .<br />
Plan 3932036-CK461 shows the perimeter of Stage 2; just under half of which is area to be<br />
excavated. Material excavated from the area will be reused as fill material <strong>for</strong> a bund along the<br />
boundary of the <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> treatment wetland and the SES13; excess material not used <strong>for</strong> batter<br />
shaping will be appropriately stockpiled and removed off site. A silt fence will be installed around the<br />
eastern perimeter of Stage 2 prior to works beginning. All machinery will be kept out of the<br />
<strong>water</strong>way on dry land and stable areas within the works site and excavated materials will be placed<br />
well away from the <strong>water</strong>ways.<br />
Prior to Stage 3 works beginning the existing wetland pond located in the centre of the Stage 3 area<br />
will need to be drained. To allow the wetland system to continue functioning and to drain the central<br />
area, stage 2 works will be opened and a temporary dam structure will be constructed in the<br />
existing channel as shown on plan 3932036-CK461. Water entering the system will now flow<br />
around the western channels of the constructed <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> treatment wetland, away from the<br />
centre. This will allow <strong>for</strong> stage 3 <strong>earthworks</strong> to be undertaken in a clean <strong>water</strong> free section. To<br />
further mitigate the effects of sediment entering the clean <strong>water</strong>, the Stage 2 silt fence along the<br />
eastern boundary will remain and an additional silt fence will be constructed along the northern<br />
boundary of Stage 3 during the works.<br />
As the <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> treatment wetland will continue to be operational, outlet works will be undertaken<br />
during periods of extreme low flows and any <strong>water</strong> discharged shall be pumped around the works if<br />
necessary.<br />
As the eastern boundary bund from the Phase 1 works will remain in place, Phase 2 <strong>earthworks</strong> can<br />
be undertaken without disturbing the <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> treatment wetland. Phase 2 includes a volume of<br />
24,000m 3 of <strong>earthworks</strong>; more than half of which is area to be excavated. Material excavated from<br />
the area will be reused as fill material <strong>for</strong> a bund constructed along the boundary of the <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong><br />
treatment wetland and the SES13 as well as <strong>for</strong> fill material along the central ridge of the Phase 2<br />
area. Excess material not used <strong>for</strong> bund shaping will be appropriately removed off site.<br />
4.<strong>2.</strong>6 Ingress/Egress Points<br />
A stabilised entranceway, with a wheel wash if required, will be constructed at the ingress/egress<br />
points to help in the removal of sediment be<strong>for</strong>e reaching the public road. If earth is tracked onto<br />
