Common use of Ground Disturbance Clause in Contracts

Ground Disturbance. The Entrant must take reasonable steps to avoid causing any damage to the ground surface on Trust Land, other than damage reasonably required for the purpose of carrying out works permitted under this document, and must take reasonable steps to avoid or control erosion and must restore the ground surface on completion of relevant works to the satisfaction of the Land Owner. The Entrant may need to vary planned entry dates to avoid conditions where wet or moist soil or track conditions will result in damage to surfaces, whether repairable or not. Where truck and other vehicle movements are involved on or over the Trust Land, remediation of ground and vegetation to pre-existing condition/s is required and a remediation plan is to be prepared and submitted for approval by the Land Owner, prior to implementation of remediation. Remediation is to be carried out to the satisfaction of the Land Owner and likely remediation actions include aeration, top dressing and hydro-seeding with native grass species. The Land owner will provide contact details for preferred native grass seed suppliers. Where truck and other vehicles are also involved, wash down of all vehicles, machinery and tools is to occur prior to bringing such plant unto or over the land each day to minimise the likelihood of transference of soil borne disease pathogens and weed seeds. The Entrant must gain approval where import of material is necessary to provide a stable access point to the Trust Land. The material must be placed on geotechnical cloth or similar to provide a barrier between the material and soils to minimise incorporation of the material into existing soil profile. Upon completion of the works, the Entrant is to notify the Land Owner that the works are complete and to make arrangements for a joint inspection to be carried out to determine the need for and/or type of remediation works and other actions required by the Land Owner.
