The candidate must provide evidence that they can:

develop a plan for erosion and sediment control measures that meets regulatory requirements and industry standards

establish suitability of development proposal to location and environment

prepare reports on erosion and sediment control plans to enterprise standards

develop erosion and sediment control measures consistent with industry principles and selection criteria

prepare an erosion and sediment control plan to industry standards and to comply with relevant regulatory planning authority


Knowledge Evidence

The candidate must demonstrate knowledge of:

application of relevant environmental, planning and groundwater legislation in erosion and sediment control work

planning process for erosion and sediment control

erosion control and design principles:

soils and soil formation

levels and levelling

earthmoving principles

total catchment issues

how to manage peak water flows

subsurface and surface drainage principles and systems

permits or consents potentially required for developing erosion and sediment control structures
