• Acid Sulfate Treatment Areas are located outside of flood prone areas, more than 50m from waterways and in line with the Construction Acid Sulfate Materials Management Plan
• Acid Sulphate Treatment Areas are maintained and monitored effectively to ensure no breaches of the treatment area, unauthorised Acid Sulphate Material, sediment or acidic runoff is discharged to waterways
• Polymer products used in piling works are prevented from entering waterways and disposed of correctly to prevent impacts on surrounding environment
• Biodegradable oil use is to be used for works over waterways
• Hydraulic hoses are reviewed/inspected for wear and damage prior to the commencement of works.  Damaged hoses are replaced. Sheathing is provided for exposed hydraulic and fuel lines.
• Spill Kits are located close to the piling works and maintained to ensure they are fully stocked.
• Hydrocarbon absorbent booms are provided in the waterway to prevent the spread of spills.
