Elements and Performance Criteria
- Organise site rehabilitation.
- Environmental management and site development plans are reviewed to identify rehabilitation requirements.
- Hazards and risks are identified and managed, or reported according to organisational and compliance requirements.
- Supervisory processes, checks and measures are implemented to ensure work is completed within time available.
- Required plant, equipment, tools and materials are identified and accessed according to organisational requirements.
- Safety barriers and signage are erected at work site to ensure safety of surrounding personnel and public, according to organisational requirements and compliance requirements.
- Recontour rehabilitation area.
- Area is recontoured so that it blends into surrounding environment or conforms to rehabilitation plan according to organisational and compliance requirements.
- Dust is minimised using approved earthmoving techniques according to organisational and compliance requirements.
- Final landform is checked to ensure it replicates surrounding environment and conforms to rehabilitation requirements.
- Catchment construction is determined by site and weather conditions according to rehabilitation requirements.
- Profile soil.
- Soil profile is constructed to stabilise contamination of materials, soil and surrounding areas according to rehabilitation requirements.
- Materials for sub-soil are selected and used, taking vegetation requirements into account according to rehabilitation requirements
- Construction of soil profile horizon is checked to ensure it emulates surrounding environment and conforms to rehabilitation requirements.
- Landform construction is checked for completion prior to final soil layer placement according to rehabilitation requirements.
- Soil horizon construction is checked to ensure it follows land contour to reduce water flow down slope and increase water storage capabilities.
- Nutrients are added to soil according to rehabilitation plan and compliance requirements.
- Construct drains and berms.
- Drain and berm locations are pegged and constructed in appropriate locations and angles to ensure control of water flow, according to rehabilitation requirements.
- Drain mechanisms are placed at required dimensions and appropriate catchment locations are provided for sediment according to rehabilitation requirements.
- Erosion is controlled by placing appropriate drain mechanisms to reduce water flow speed according to rehabilitation requirements.
- Erosion is reduced by placing berms at intervals according to rehabilitation requirements.
- Plant flora.
- Seeds, ground covering, plants and trees are planted, protected and maintained according to planting specifications.
- Fertiliser is applied according to plant type, soil quality, manufacturer specifications and rehabilitation requirements.
- Planting arrangement is checked to ensure it conforms to site contour and pattern specification according to rehabilitation requirements.
- Finalise rehabilitation activities.
