Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Identify measures to be designed
   • Plan or strategy is reviewed for technical accuracy and environmental impacts.
   • Adherence to regulations and legislation is confirmed and noted on works plans.
   • Design criteria are applied in line with industry standards.
2. Apply design procedures
   • Catchment characteristics are calculated to required accuracy in line with industry standards.
   • Methods to determine design specifications are in accordance with industry standards.
   • Measures are modified in response to applying design procedures and follow accepted industry practices.
3. Prepare specification schedule
   • Documentation provided aligns with the plan and follows industry standards.

Evidence Required

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy holistically all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge and include achievement of the following identify measures to be designed apply design procedures prepare specification schedule cost and provide recommendations collaborate with planner
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances
