Under the Act, the Integrated Development Assessment When exposed to air, either naturally (e.g. during a System allows for Council and other referral agencies drought), through soil disturbance (e.g. dredging or to request additional information to assist in assessing a excavation) or through a lowered watertable (e.g. drain development proposal. construction), the sulfides oxidise to produce sulfuric acid. The disturbance of acid sulfate soils can therefore Additional information, in the form of an Acid Sulfate result in soil and groundwater becoming acidic.
