Acid Sulfate Soil Code
Performance Criterion and Acceptable Solution
Performance Criteria
Acceptable Solutions
P1
A1.1
Environmental values and ecological health of
receiving waters must be protected
No potential or actual acid sulfate soils are
disturbed by the proposal
Note: This can be demonstrated through the
submission of an Acid Sulfate Soil
Investigation Report with reference to the
Acid Sulfate Soil Planning Scheme Policy
Assets must not be subject to accelerated
corrosion
OR
A1.2
Where less than 500m3 of soil is disturbed
and the watertable is not affected, the
disturbance impacts in areas that host
potential acid sulfate soils are appropriately
managed
Note: This can be demonstrated through the
submission of an Acid Sulfate Soil
Investigation Report and an Acid Sulfate
Soil Preliminary Management Plan
(referring to the Acid Sulfate Soil Planning
Scheme Policy) detailing:
•
the sampling and analysis procedures to
be adopted
•
the method of treating/managing soils, if
required
•
the proposed monitoring procedures, if
required
OR
A1.3
Where 500m3 or more of soil is disturbed
and/or where affecting the watertable in
areas that host potential or actual acid sulfate
soils, impacts can be appropriately managed
Note: This can be demonstrated through the
submission of an Acid Sulfate Soil
Investigation Report and Management
Plan(1) (referring to the Acid Sulfate Soil
Planning Scheme Policy) using levels of
testing commensurate with the level of risk
(1) If the investigation demonstrates that an Acid Sulfate Soil Management Plan is not required, only an Investigation Report
is required
