Erosion and Sediment Control For Land Disturbance Activities

Land disturbance activities often result in the mobilisation of sediment that inevitably ends up in waterways if adequate control measures are not adopted.  There are specific rules in Tasman Resource Management Plan that address sediment control associated with land disturbance.  

There are a range of land disturbance practices and sediment control measures available to limit the impact on the environment.  The Council's Engineering Standards contain guidelines for erosion and sediment control.  Additional detail can be found in Auckland Regional Council's Erosion & Sediment Control - Guidelines for Land Disturbing Activities in the Auckland Region (ARC Technical Publication 90).
