Presenters:
Date: 22 March 2024
The lead authors of the Queensland Acid Sulfate Soil (ASS) Management Guidelines (which were released in December 2023), Sue-Ellen and Kristie speak about the key changes in the guidelines. They also clarify what is expected when managing ASS in Queensland. Sue-Ellen and Kristie wrote the first version of the ASS management guidelines back in 2002, and the second version in 2014. This latest version of the guidelines ensures greater consistency with the 2018 National Guidance Material for ASS.
Key Learnings:
- What is required when managing ASS.
- Technical advice on how to minimize potential environmental harm resulting from the disturbance of ASS.
- Updates in verification testing, self-neutralising soils, acidic soils, and neautralisation of ASS.
