Performance Evidence

An individual demonstrating competency must satisfy all of the elements and performance criteria in this unit.

There must be evidence that the individual has developed at least one plan for erosion and sediment control measures according to regulatory requirements and industry standards.

There must also be evidence that the individual has:

established suitability of development proposal to location and environment

prepared erosion and sediment control plans to enterprise standards

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

prepared an erosion and sediment control plan according to industry standards and in compliance with regulatory planning authority.

Knowledge Evidence

An individual must be able to demonstrate the knowledge required to perform the tasks outlined in the elements and performance criteria of this unit. This includes knowledge of:

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

planning process for erosion and sediment control

surface water and groundwater interactions and their influence on erosion, erosion control and design, including:

soils and soil formation and impact on water flow

levels and levelling

earthmoving principles

total catchment issues

managing peak water flows

sub-surface and surface drainage principles and systems

computations relevant to water runoff, flow and design of erosion control

structures and structural design principles of erosion and sediment control

permits or approvals required for developing erosion and sediment control structures

environmental issues related to erosion and sediment

awareness of the limitations of design aids provided for industry

workplace health and safety implications of implementing plans.
