Environmental procedure EP 5.1<br />
• reducing the flow rate of water across the ground, particularly on<br />
exposed surfaces and in areas where water congregates;<br />
• constructing catch drains, contour ploughing and the placement of hay<br />
bales;<br />
• regrading gullies to a stable land form;<br />
• the placement of coarse material; and<br />
• revegetation.<br />
Rehabilitated areas, prestripping areas and other areas that are prone to<br />
erosion will be inspected regularly. Any erosion identified will be treated<br />
promptly to minimise damage to the land and protect the quality of water on<br />
the site (see EP7.1 Water Management).<br />
4.16 Dust Control<br />
If it becomes necessary to use the water cart or water sprays to control dust<br />
prior to topsoil stripping, on topsoil stockpiles or rehabilitated areas, clean<br />
water (ie: non-saline water) must be used. The use of saline water may<br />
degrade soil quality and kill vegetation (see EP8.2 Dust Management,<br />
Mobile Equipment).<br />
4.17 Monitoring and Reporting<br />
A qualified surveyor will survey all rehabilitated areas. This information<br />
will be used to compile the annual rehabilitation report to the DMR and<br />
CNA’s internal reporting requirements.<br />
An annual rehabilitation audit is undertaken to ensure all relevant<br />
management plans and <strong>Rio</strong> <strong>Tinto</strong> Standards are achieved.<br />
Annual inspections of rehabilitated areas will be carried out in conjunction<br />
with the DMR and DLWC to determine progress against government<br />
completion criteria. The Environmental Specialist Rehabilitation &<br />
Landcare will address any actions coming out of these inspections.<br />
