Guideline for the Preparation of Environmental Management Plans

Environmental Management Plan Guideline
Environmental Management Controls Person Responsible Completed (Initials/Date) Reference / Notes
Water Quality
Prepare a Soil and Water Management Plan (SWMP) before commencing work.
The SWMP shall provide for:
- the prompt completion of works relating to drainage and sediment control
to minimise exposure time of disturbed areas
- the provision of sediment and filter traps, in advance of and in conjunction
with earthworks operations, to prevent contaminated run-off leaving the
site, and
- scour protection/energy dissipation measures in drainage lines below
drainage outlets.
All controls are to be designed and installed in accordance with Managing
Urban Stormwater: Soil and Construction, Department of Housing 1998. This
plan is implemented and maintained for the period of quarrying and subsequent
rehabilitation.
Ensure erosion and sedimentation control measures are installed before
commencing land disturbance, and remain in place until the erosion hazard
reverts to its pre-existing level.
Hazard Management
Ensure storage areas for fuels, oils and chemicals on-site:
- comply with the requirements of relevant authorities
- are surrounded by impervious bund walls to contain 120% of the
maximum possible spillage volume
- are not within 20 metres of any areas of concentrated water flows, or
poorly drained areas, and
- are not within the drip line of trees.
An emergency procedure for chemical spills and other potential incidents shall
be developed before work commences.
Ensure hydrophobic material, for the mopping up of any hydrocarbons in the
event of a spill, is stored on-site and that relevant personnel are trained in its
use.
