Sediment <strong>and</strong> Erosion control devices will be in place around storm<strong>water</strong> drains, upslope of site to detour runoff<br />
around the site <strong>and</strong> downslope to prevent sediment entering <strong>water</strong>ways<br />
Odours will be monitored <strong>and</strong> actioned as appropriate<br />
Sewage contaminated equipment <strong>and</strong> trucks removing contaminated items will be sealed in a <strong>water</strong> tight container<br />
or covered<br />
If maintaining <strong>water</strong> supply is not possible, customers will be notified as per PH02 – Notification of Residents<br />

Traffic control in place<br />
Sediment <strong>and</strong> Erosion control devices will be placed around storm<strong>water</strong> drains, upslope of site to detour runoff<br />
around the site <strong>and</strong> downslope to prevent sediment entering <strong>water</strong>ways<br />
Traffic control in place (Traffic control plan)<br />
All trenches will be back filled at the end of each shift<br />
Compaction shall be done <strong>and</strong> met Australian St<strong>and</strong>ards<br />
Site cleared of debris <strong>and</strong> refuse<br />
Re-surfacing to original condition or appropriate trafficable surfacing.<br />
Sediment <strong>and</strong> Erosion control devices will be placed around storm<strong>water</strong> drains, upslope of site to detour runoff<br />
