Diversions - ditches and banks

Identify any potential surface water flows

entering the site.

• Divert these flows around the site

Stormwater • Divert run-on and run-off away from disturbed

areas

• Ensure that the diversion is protected from
erosion, using vegetation, geotextiles etc

• Divert sediment laden water to an sediment
trapping structure

• Use practises that encourage infiltration of
rainwater

If you are working in a mountainous area a

significant proportion of the water leaving your
site may be derived from up gradient areas.
