Refine the table and paraphrase it as favour of the DEO. Action Frequency The ECO is to provide permission prior to any vegetation being cleared for development Daily Clearing of vegetation should be undertaken as the work front progresses –

Here's a refined and paraphrased version of the table, framed in favor of the DEO (Designated Environmental Officer): | Action | Frequency | |--------|-----------| | Prior approval from the ECO is mandatory before any vegetation is cleared for development. | Daily | | Vegetation clearing should occur progressively alongside construction activities, avoiding mass clearing unless preparations for the cleared area begin immediately thereafter. | Weekly | | Areas that become overrun with invasive species may be treated with approved herbicides that decompose upon soil contact. Use of residual herbicides is prohibited. | Weekly | | While organic matter is often utilized to promote regrowth in cleared areas, no external materials should be introduced to the site for this purpose. | Weekly | | Efforts must be made to prevent the introduction of non-native plant species to the site and its surroundings, particularly from imported materials such as building sand or contaminated earth-moving equipment. | Weekly | | Management of alien plant regrowth in areas impacted by construction must be implemented consistently across the entire site. | Monthly | | Guidelines for the removal and control of alien vegetation must comply with best practices for the specific species, accessible through the DWAF Working for Water website and http://invasives.org.za/. | Monthly | | The use of pesticides is strictly prohibited. However, herbicides may be utilized to manage specific listed alien weeds and invaders. | Monthly | | In areas where natural vegetation has been disrupted by construction activities, replanting with indigenous species should occur, especially where natural recovery is slow or repeated invasions are evident following disturbance. | Biannually, preferably at the onset of the rainy season | This refined version presents the information clearly and emphasizes the commitment to environmental responsibility, aligning with the DEO's objectives.
