Common use of SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION Clause in Contracts

SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION. Determine the major physical and chemical characteristics of Forest soils in Tasmania, evaluate the potential impact of forest operations and develop hazard rating systems. • Catchment planning to protect soil and water values on all land tenures. • Determine the spatial distribution of forest soils for incorporation into geographic information systems. • Evaluation of the effectiveness of erosion risk on Public Lands and currently prescribed buffer and filter strips in protecting water quality and aquatic systems, especially of temporary streams. • Evaluate the nutrient supply characteristics of Forest soils to determine sustainability criteria. • Monitor plantation soils, hydrology, and nutrition for nutrient flows and water quality. • Environmental water requirements: establish baseline monitoring systems for stream flow and water quality across a range of forest types, evaluate the impact of forest operations and refine stream protection measures accordingly.
