Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions. |
1. | Review and evaluate landfill rehabilitation strategies. | 1.1. | Landfill rehabilitation strategies are reviewed to identify all site development options in consultation with client and team members. |
| 1.2. | Team is assisted to assess lifecycle and feasibility of landfill rehabilitation strategies to ensure plan is realistic and achievable and complies with client and compliance requirements. |
2. | Identify landfill rehabilitation requirements. | 2.1. | Local government authorities are consulted regarding local provenance guidelines pertaining to landfill rehabilitation plan according to organisational and compliance requirements. |
| 2.2. | Landfill rehabilitation plan is produced that addresses soil profile construction to ensure contamination is stabilised according to compliance requirements. |
| 2.3. | Landfill rehabilitation plan is checked to ensure it includes implementation strategies and meets client’s environmental objectives, and modifications are made as required. |
| 2.4. | Landfill rehabilitation plan is documented according to organisational requirements. |
3. | Present landfill rehabilitation plan. | 3.1. | Final landfill rehabilitation plan is presented to client according to organisational requirements. |
| 3.2. | Explanation of rationale, benefits and implementation process is provided to ensure that client is satisfied with plan. |
| 3.3. | Feedback from client is obtained and integrated into plan according to organisational requirements. |
