About Site Management

Control of invasive plant species requires planning. And a plan is only as good as the data it’s formed on. An accurate and detailed survey is the cornerstone of any Management plan.

There are many aspects to Site Management when Invasive Species are involved. JKI Environmental offers services and consultation in the following areas.

Pre-planning

From project inception, the subject of Invasives should be addressed.

Whether it is highlighted through the Appropriate Assessment or a specific Invasive Species survey, early identification can significantly reduce cost and delays, then if left until a project if underway.

Biosecurity

Biosecurity is an integral part of dealing with Invasive species. Inadequate or non-existent biosecurity measures have often been the cause of making a small problem, a much larger one.

As with above, biosecurity should be considered from project inception, whether its securing a site from fly tipping, access during Ground investigations works or site clearance works etc.

Treatment programmes

Once Invasives species have been identified, Treatment programmes can be drafted to best tackle the species involved. Each species is different, and the correct delivery of treatment is necessary to best achieve control and eradication.

Records of treatments should be kept as is required under current legislation, and these are also important to inform future parties of remedial actions undertaken.

Off-site removal

Transport of materials containing Invasive plant species requires licensing from the National Park and Wildlife Service. If a project requires material to be moved off site to a suitably licensed waste facility, a license will be required.

This license is subject to a successful application process. JKI Environmental undertake these applications from start to finish, including identifying a suitable waste facility and haulier, carrying out Waste Acceptance Criteria testing, and provision of Final Validation reports to close out the license post remedial works.
