A consultancy report and/or position paper on the geochemistry review. A report (internal or consultancy) on the ecological risks The outcome that this project will achieve is an understanding of the ecological risk of nutrient inputs to the local billabongs and creeks. This will inform the need for any additional or refined closure criteria. Planned communication activities The primary communication activities for the project are: Reports and presentations to relevant stakeholders (e.g. Water & Sediment Closure Criteria Technical Working Group) Potentially, a peer-reviewed journal publication. Project publications to date (if applicable) Not applicable this is a new project. – Project details Project Developing a rehabilitation standard for sulfate (acid sulfate soils) SSB function Research Site Ranger Project category Developing closure criteria Project status Active What business need This project will lead to the development of a rehabilitation standard for acid sulfate soils does this project inform? that can inform Ranger of the desired sulfate concentrations that should be met at closure.

To develop a rehabilitation standard for sulfate as a to prevent the formation of ASS in off-site local water bodies.
