With building activity at unprecedented levels, all contactors must be mindful of where the mud actually ends up. Auckland City is concerned that when it rains, the water flows overland to the roads, drains and watercourses and eventually to the sea, picking up dit from exposed grounds ‘on the way. Stormwater has been shown to be a leading cause of water pollution Contractors need to remember that if the development has resource consent, the consent may require sediment control. It is also a breach of the District Plan to allow any silt or sediment to _getinto the stormwater drains from earthworks or bare land, and a wheel-wash is required on all sites where sediment may be transferred from tyres on to the roads. It is imperative to keep sediment within the site. If over-spills are likely, itis best to install and maintain filters in Council catcb-pits. If mud does get on to the roads, vacuum sweeper trucks should be hired to remove it immediately Tf contractors need any further information they should contact the planning helpdesk at Auckland City Environments on (09} 379 2021, or check our the website at » govt.nz écouncil buildine
