Rivers and Streams It should be noted that this section is only relevant should construction take place on Site Alternative 3. However, these mitigation and monitoring measures provided in this Sections are general mitigation and monitoring measures normally provided for constructions within floodline and riparian areas. Should Site Alternative 3 be selected as the preferred alternative, a Floodline Delineation and Riparian Habitat Assessment and Delineation must be undertaken. The findings and recommendation of these assessments must be incorporated into the Final EMP. The Contractor shall minimise the extent of any damage to the flood plain to that necessary to complete the works, and shall not pollute the river system as a result of construction activities. The Contractor shall not cause any physical damage to any Monitoring aspects of a watercourse, other than that necessary to complete the works as specified throughout the During Construction C and in accordance with the accepted method statement. The method statement is to be duration of the accepted by the Engineer in consultation for the ECO. This is to ensure that the method project statement is in line with the method statements provided in Water Use Authorisations (where applicable). Construction activities shall not permanently alter the surface or subsurface flow of water Monitoring through the flood plain area. No construction materials shall be stockpiled on the flood throughout the During Construction E/ECO plain. duration of the project Any excavation within the flood plain shall be by hand where possible. Where mechanical excavations are undertaken, the engineer/ECO should be present on site to monitor the Monitoring excavation activities. Where necessary, a Wetland Specialist should be present on site. throughout the During Construction C/E/ECO The Contractor shall ensure that all construction activities within the flood plain including duration of the the removal of vegetation, stockpiling of top material, excavations and backfilling of project excavations and rehabilitation occur within a maximum of a three week period.
