Topsoil disturbed during the construction phase should be tested using a standard soil ^  
testing methodology and where it is found to be worthy of retention stored for re-use.  
The soil will be stockpiled to a maximum height of 2m and will be either temporarily ^  
vegetated with hydroseeded grass during construction or covered with a waterproof  
covering to prevent erosion.  
CP2.3  
The stockpile should be turned over on a regular basis to avoid acidification and the  
degradation of the organic material, and reused after completion. Alternatively, if  
this is not practicable, it should be considered for use elsewhere, including other  
projects.
