ATTACHMENT E - REVISED NOISE AND DUST MANAGMENT PLAN<br />

ITEM 11.1 COUNCIL 24/04/2013<br />

Sand Extraction – Lot 75, Haag Road, Yelverton<br />

3.5 MANAGEMENT ACTIONS<br />

The following management actions will be applied to the Project to ensure any dust emissions emanating<br />

from the operations remain within acceptable levels.<br />

3.5.1 Workplace Practices<br />

The following practices will be employed on site to provide dust management techniques for specific<br />

activities, such as:<br />

Speed Limits<br />

<br />

<br />

Project speed limits on the main access haulage road and unformed tracks will be<br />

restricted to no more than 30km/h for light vehicles and haulage trucks<br />

Heavy earthmoving equipment will drive to soil conditions with water applied to working<br />

areas as required. Speed limits for heavy earthmoving equipment are a contingency<br />

available during adverse conditions, based on the site supervisors’ assessment<br />

Topsoil Stripping<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Topsoil will normally only be stripped outside summer months (i.e. not between<br />

December to February). Water carts will be used to suppress dust when low soil moisture<br />

conditions require it<br />

Exceptions to this may occur where weather or soil conditions prevent access during wet<br />

months<br />

If topsoil stripping occurs outside winter months then water carts will be used to keep the<br />

soil damp during topsoil stripping<br />

Weather conditions will be assessed before commencing topsoil stripping, and re-assessed<br />

on a daily basis during stripping<br />

Haulage<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Management <strong>of</strong> dust from the haulage road is to be controlled by using well-formed roads<br />

Tarpaulin measures will be employed for all loads prior to haulage leaving the site<br />

Haulage roads will be dampened through water application such as water carts as<br />

required<br />

Disturbed Areas<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Clearing areas will be restricted to the minimum requirement for continued operation<br />

Outside <strong>of</strong> winter months, sealing agents will be applied to any disturbed areas that are<br />

not to be immediately utilised (Refer to Section 3.5.3).<br />

Soil will be dampened by using water carts in high activity, disturbed areas that cannot be<br />

stabilised using mulch from site or areas that are awaiting application <strong>of</strong> mulch or similar<br />

application<br />

Access will be restricted to areas that are able to be serviced by a water cart and sprinkler<br />

bar<br />

Sprinkler systems may be used in areas where dust control is not achieved by the other<br />

control measured outlined above<br />
