B-6 – Area 6 – Assessment of Environmental Effects 66 considered to be low, an offset is being proposed. The offset will deliver a no net loss outcome in stream ecological values. The vegetation that would be removed by the NRS comprises both native and exotic (pine) plantings and will be replaced. A range of management plans will also be prepared and implemented by suitably qualified and experienced ecologists to manage effects on ecological values, including avifauna, lizards, bats, fish and koura. With respect to geotechnical matters, natural hazards and impacts on ground and surface water, NRS has been designed and will be constructed and operated in a manner consistent with that which currently occurs at OGNZL’s existing facilities, and which has been demonstrated to have been successful for managing and monitoring potential effects. No additional mitigation measures are expected to be required. However, a NRS Monitoring and Management Plan will be prepared and implemented to monitor the effects of the NRS on the land, ground and groundwater resources and to trigger the implementation of contingency measures where necessary.
