Enviroscope provided environmental services in the preparation of an environmental management plan (EMP), Erosion sediment control plans (ESCP’s), and the ongoing surveillance through the construction phase.

This included specific erosion and sediment controls for alpine environments, ensuring the protection of highly sensitive alpine tarns, and ensuring the controls to protect alpine ecologies including endemic species of skinks/geckos and plants were carried out according to recommendations of the project ecologist.
