At least 5 working days prior to the first discharge of contaminants authorised by this consent, the Consent Holder shall submit a Soil Binder Management Plan (SBMP) to Council’s Monitoring Officer for certification. The purpose of the SBMP is to record the types of soil binding products used and the methodologies proposed/used to ensure that there is no discharge to land in circumstances where the soil binding products enter water. As a minimum, the SBMP shall include the following:

(a)        the type of soil binding products used (this can be updated, and recertified, if alternative soil binding polymers are proposed to be used at any time);

(b)       the mobility, hazard classification, toxicity, and effects of each of the products on water quality;

(c)        the methodologies proposed to ensure that there is no discharge to land in circumstances where soil binding products enter water;

(d)       safety data sheets for the products used; and

(e)        the means of application.

Note: The Certification of the SBMP by the council relates only to those aspects of SBMP that are relevant under the Resource Management Act 1991. The certification does not amount to an approval or acceptance of suitability by the council of any elements of the management plan that relate to other legislation, for example, but not limited to, the Building Act 2004, the Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga Act 2014, or the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992.
