The development will comprise landscaped and wetland areas, lake and campus buildings, Condition 35 of the planning application for the development requires that "Prior to commencement of development, a method of sampling and validation of imported and excavated ground materials shall be submitted to and approved by the Local Planning, Authority to ensure that such materials that are used on site are not contaminated. This should include details of the origin of such materials.” This report has been prepared to set out the earthworks strategy for the site in relation planning condition 35, The report details the methodology for the following; © Earthworks strategy * Method of validation and audit report * Method of dealing with unknown contaminants Development Layout ‘The proposed wider development comprises:- + Lake and 2 + Landscaped bunds 1,2, 3 and 4 * Development areas + Access roads ‘The current Phase A planning application is forthe development of the Phase A Lake and landscape, This comprises the following as shown to Drawing No.70072/SKO6; + Lake I + Landscape 2 * Borrow pits within Lake Area 2A and 2C Development Strategy The development strategy is to undertake a cut and fill balance within the earthworks operations; materials cut to form the new lake profile will be used to form the new landscape profile, Detailed cut and fill calculations have been completed (Appendix C) and in summary indicate the following: + Cut and fill operations will involve the movement of 1,089,400m° of material WA Fairhurst & Partners Document Ret: mL 700722 ‘April 200840 4a 42 43 43.1 FAIRHURS’ + There is a net excess of final cover materials within the site earthworks. The surplus of existing cover materials will be utilised to form the core of the landscape areas. As such, there is no requirement to import materials to form the final cover to landscape areas + There is a net shortfall of 94,000m? in the volume of materials required to form the core of the landscape areas. This will be generated from on site borrow pits, drainage and excavation arisings from later stages of the development. As such, there will be no requirement for the importation of ‘materials to form the core to the landscape areas. EARTHWORKS STRATEGY Introduction ‘The following earthworks operations will be undertaken on site: ‘+ Excavation and stockpiling of cut material from the lake foot print + Re-engineering of site generated materials to proposed landscape bunds Earthworks Specification All earthworks required for the site development works are to be undertaken in accordance with the Contract Documentation and Specification as presented in Appendix C, this includes reuse of all site won materials and use of all imported materials. Al suitable excavation arisings generated by excavation of the lake profile shall be re- uused as landscape fill on site. These materials shall be assessed and validated for geotechnical works in accordance with the earthworks specification (Appendix B). Itis not anticipated that additional materials will be required to achieve the proposed. levels. If imported materials are used these will be assessed and validated at source in accordance with the earthworks specificatiun (Appendix B), Site Validation Works General Although no contamination has been identified, and in the absence of historical land use none would be expected, the following may be necessary; * The future requirement to import materials cannot be discounted + The volume of materials handled within the earthworks strategy is significant and the presence of unknown contaminants cannot be discounted WA Fairhorst & Partners Document Ref: DIL/70072002 April 2008,43.2 433 43.4 FAIRHUR: ‘Therefore, a strategy forthe following works is propo ‘+ validation of imported materials + identification and validation of unknown contaminants within site won materials Site Won Materials ‘These materials will comprise the following; + Site stripped topsoit + Excavation arisings comprising natural sand and clay from the lake excavation Although contamination is not expected the following works are proposed; 1) Visual assessment of site won materials to assess for evidence of contamination 2) Validate site won materials to confirm absence of contamination 3) It is not anticipated that any materials will require off site disposal. If ‘materials are required to be disposed offsite to landfill this will be done accordance with the requirements of Section 8. ‘Unknown Contamination Hotspot Delineation and Removal Soil contamination has not been identified on site. If visual evidence of unknown contamination is identified during the works the following works will be required; 1) In the area of the visual contamination confirm the presence of elevated contaminants via laboratory tests (metals, non metals and hydrocarbons) as presented chemical suit in Appendix A. 2) Delineate extent of contamination by additional site assessment. 3) Validate site won materials as suitable for reuse oa site, Imported Materials Where imported materials are required in the works the following procedure will be required; + If bulk fill and clean cover material is imported, it is not acceptable to import ‘materials from sources of known former contaminative use, This shall be confirmed by desk study of the source area prior to importation of materials + Chemical analysis shall be undertaken to assess the suitability of imported materials prior to acceptance on site Parnes DILT0O7200aL ETL 43.5 Validation Test Frequency The following validation test frequency shall be undertaken’ * For the reuse of site won materials validation testing will be undertaken at a minimum rate of 20 (No.) sample per source for bulk fill or cover materials. This validation will be undertaken on materials prior to their inclusion in the earthworks * For delineation of unknown hot spots of contamination validation testing will be undertaken at a minimum of 6 No. samples for each removed hotspot area * For imported materials validation testing shall be undertaken at a minimum rate of | (No.) sample per 100m’ with a minimum of 3 No. tests per source. * Contaminant concentrations will be reviewed in relation to Assessment Criteria in Tables Al, A2, Appendix A to confirm that contaminants are below assessment level. * Hf contaminants are found to still be above assessment level, additional materials will be removed for off-site disposal and the validation process repeated. 5.0 VALIDATION AND AUDIT PROCEDURE ‘The Contractor shall appoint a Geo Environmental Engineer who will be responsible for auditing site earthworks operations. ‘The responsibilities of the Engineer will be as detailed in the following sections; ‘The Engineer will be responsible for ensuring that earth works on site are carried out in accordance with the Method Statement.
