Introduction
1.1
City Rail Link Project
The City Rail Link (CRL) project comprises the construction, operation and maintenance of a 3.4 km underground passenger railway, extending between Britomart Station and the North Auckland Rail Line in the vicinity of Mt Eden station. The project is being undertaken by Auckland Transport (AT) and includes the construction of two tracks and two underground stations using cut and cover methods, and tunnel boring methods, up to 42 m below ground. The extent of the entire CRL project is shown in Figure 1.1.
Figure 1.1: CRL Route and Location
The works described in this Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) constitute part of the enabling works for the CRL. The works (‘the Project’) involve the construction of an extension to the existing passenger rail network from the current termination point within the Britomart Transport Centre (BTC), westwards underneath the former Chief Post Office building (CPO) and lower Queen Street. The Project footprint is shown by the blue shaded area in Figure 1.2 below.

This CEMP has been prepared by Tonkin & Taylor Ltd (T+T) for the Downer Soletanche Bachy Joint Venture (the Contractor - DSBJV). The CEMP provides the overarching framework for the management of construction effects associated with the Project. Further sub-plans are included as appendices to the CEMP and detail the specific environmental and sustainability management controls for particular aspects of the Project.
1.2
Purpose of the CEMP
The objective of the CEMP is to avoid, remedy or mitigate any adverse environmental, social and economic effects (including cumulative effects) associated with construction of the Project, so far as reasonably practicable. The CEMP is required under Condition 19 of the CRL designation, Condition 18 of the BTC designation1 and Condition 33 of the resource consents2 for the Project. The designation and resource consent conditions also require the preparation of a suite of Delivery Works Plans (DWPs) and Environmental Management Plans (EMPs) (the ‘sub-plans’), which provide detailed methods for avoiding, remedying or mitigating adverse effects. The CEMP and sub-plans will be implemented throughout the entire construction period for the Project, and updated as necessary. Overall, implementation of this CEMP will ensure: Appropriate management of adverse environmental, social and economic effects associated with construction of the Project; Compliance with the conditions of the designations and resource consents; Compliance with environmental legislation; and
Conditions as attached to Auckland Transport’s Confirmation Notice of 17 March 2016 on Notice of Requirement to alter the Britomart Transport Centre Designation 2 R/LUC/2014/5428 (land use consent – contaminated land), R/REG/2014/5430 (land use consent – earthworks), R/REG/2014/5432 (water permit – take and diversion of groundwater), R/REG/2014/5435 (discharge permit – contaminated land), R/REG/2014/5436 (discharge permit – washwater and wastewater), R/REG/2014/5437 (discharge permit – air) 1

3 Achievement of the Project’s sustainability objectives. All works must be carried out in accordance with the CEMP or any changes to it authorised under the conditions. The CEMP and sub-plans will be reviewed at least annually or as a result of a material change to the Project, or to address unforeseen adverse effects arising from construction or unresolved complaints (the review process is outlined in Section 7 of this CEMP). The CEMP and sub-plans have been prepared in consultation with the Project Community Liaison Group (CLG). Additionally, the CEMP and DWPs have undergone independent peer review prior to formal submission to Auckland Council (AC). Comments received from the CLG and independent peer review processes have been incorporated in the CEMP and sub-plans, with an explanation being provided where any comments have not been incorporated. A record of consultation outcomes is provided in Appendix B.

CEMP Structure and Content
1.3.1
Overview
The CEMP is an overarching document and provides a blueprint for AT and the DSBJV to manage the environmental, social and economic effects of the Project. The principles and general approach to managing the effects are set out in the CEMP, with detailed management methods described in the sub-plans that inform the CEMP and which are provided as appendices. The CEMP and suite of sub-plans is shown in Table 1.1, along with reference to the specific designation and resource consent conditions that set out the requirements for the individual plans. Most plans are required under both the CRL and BTC designations, with some also duplicated under the resource consents. Where there is cross-over between the designation and consent conditions in relation to a sub-plan, a single plan has been produced to address all relevant designation and consent requirements. A Communication and Consultation Plan describes processes for communications during the Project. Several other plans have been prepared for the management of environmental and sustainability aspects of the Project, but sit outside the designation and consent condition requirements. These include the Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Plan (WARRP), Procurement Management Plan and the Sustainability Rating Management Plan. Where specific requirements and objectives are not addressed by the sub-plans, the CEMP includes measures to give effect to these (e.g. construction lighting, waste management, energy use).

CEMP structure
The CEMP defines details of who, what, where and when environmental and sustainability management and mitigation measures for the Project will be implemented. This CEMP is structured as follows: Section 1 of the CEMP details the Project background, outlines the scope and structure of the CEMP and relevant designation and resource consent conditions. Section 2 provides a description of the Project scope, overall sequence of works and construction methodology. Section 3 presents the social and environmental management context of the Project and outlines the environmental risks along with additional legislative requirements applicable to the environmental aspects of the Project. Section 4 outlines the implementation and operation of the CEMP and describes roles and responsibilities, training requirements, management of emergencies and incidents, complaints procedures and Project communications. Section 5 outlines the environmental and sustainability management that will be implemented during the construction of the Project. Further description of the sub-plans and the operating procedures (including measures to mitigate the potential adverse environmental effects, which will tie in with the conditions of consent and designations) is provided. Section 6 details monitoring and review requirements, auditing procedures, and corrective actions addressed by the CEMP. Section 7 describes the process for updating and reviewing the CEMP.

Sustainability
1.5.1
Infrastructure Sustainability
The DSBJV shares AT’s objective for the Project, which is to set the benchmark for designing, building and operating sustainable infrastructure in New Zealand and to optimise environmental, social and economic outcomes over the long term. Optimisation promotes doing more than simply minimising impacts and complying with consent conditions, but reflects the ‘triple bottom line’. The context for environmental and sustainability targets for the CRL has been established through a comprehensive review of local and national targets. The Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia’s (ISCA) Infrastructure Sustainability (IS) rating scheme has been chosen to measure the sustainability performance of the Project7.

Mana Whenua
This CEMP recognises AT’s special relationship with Mana Whenua. We are all descended from Ranginui, our Father Sky and Papatuanuku, our Mother Earth. Ng mana whenua o T maki Makaurau have a special relationship with Ranginui, Papat nuku, and their resources. Acting as kaitiaki, they endeavour to protect their wh nau, hap and Iwi and encourage all people to act as protectors of the earth.
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016
26 Kaitiakitanga includes: protecting, restoring, enhancing the mauri (life supporting capacity) of resources; fulfilling spiritual, emotional and inherited responsibilities to the environment; maintaining mana over resources; and ensuring the welfare of the people those resources support. In Tamaki Makaurau it is mana whenua who are Kaitiaki. The aspiration of the CRL project to be exemplary in the practice of sustainability – encompassing the four well-beings (environmental, cultural, social and economic) – aligns and supports kaitiakitanga. In meeting their sustainability commitments CRL staff, contractors and others involved in the project are also supporting kaitiakitanga and mana whenua as kaitiaki. Furthermore, they are also improving the state of the environment that we pass on for future generations. This CEMP supports these objectives. The CRL sustainability framework is informed by tikanga tiaki and m tauranga. A CRL mana whenua forum has been established for the purposes of undertaking kaitiakitanga responsibilities associated with the project. The forum comprises those mana whenua groups who expressed an interest in being involved in the CRL project and its related activities. Eight mana whenua self-identified their interest in CRL and are currently part of the forum: Ng ti Maru Ng ti Paoa Ng i Tai Ki T maki Ng ti Te Ata Waiohua Ng ti Wh tua o

Project Description and Construction Method
2.1
Overview
The Project involves the construction of an extension to the existing passenger rail network from the current termination point within the BTC, westwards underneath the CPO building and lower Queen Street. Separate works are being undertaken to continue the CRL tunnels from this point under the Downtown Shopping Centre site (which is being redeveloped by Precinct Properties), and then up Albert Street. Significant works beneath the CPO will be undertaken, including diaphragm wall construction, piling and rail tunnel construction, along with a rebuild of the Basement 1 and ground floors. In lower Queen Street, piling (and sheet piling where required) will be undertaken within the road corridor, along with excavation and concrete rail tunnel construction followed by reinstatement of the road corridor at the completion of works. During construction, existing ticketing and retail functions and pedestrian access to the station will be accommodated in a new temporary station building, located to the east of the CPO and Glasshouse. Surface works will also be required in QEII Square associated with the Downtown Shopping Centre redevelopment, including construction of the CRL rail tunnels beneath this site (Precinct Properties scope of work). The works will commence in July 2016 and are due to be complete by the end of June 2020.
2.2
Construction Methodology
The Project construction works will occur in four main stages as outlined in Table 2.1 below and shown on the drawings titled ‘City Rail Link Enabling Works Contract 1 Stage 1 – Stage 4 Overview’ provided in Appendix D. Table 2.1:

2.2.1
Stage 1 – Site Establishment and Temporary Accommodation Works
2.2.1.1
Accommodation Works
Prior to commencement of construction works in the CPO and lower Queen Street, temporary buildings will be established in the current car-park area within Station Plaza to the rear of the BTC. The buildings will house key station facilities and operations (including ticketing, services and retail), which will be relocated from within the CPO building to Station Plaza for the duration of the main construction works. Relocation of the facilities will enable uninterrupted operation of the BTC during construction of the Project. The temporary accommodation buildings will be prefabricated off-site to the extent practicable, and transported to site for installation in order to minimise disruption to surrounding businesses and residents. A temporary roof will be erected above the temporary accommodation buildings and facilities to provide all weather protection for users. Following the closure of the CPO building to the public in Stage 2 of the Project, the main entrance to the BTC will be through Station Plaza until the CPO is reinstated in Stage 4 of the Project. Works will be undertaken within the BTC associated with the installation of temporary stairs to provide access to the rail lines from the new station entrance. These works will be conducted behind construction hoardings away from areas of the station accessed by the public. Works required within the public areas of the BTC will be carried out during off-peak hours. Switchover from the existing public facilities within the CPO to the new temporary facilities in Station Plaza will be carried out at a time agreed with AT, potentially during a weekend shutdown. Work-sites for the temporary accommodation works will be securely hoarded off from the public, with appropriate measures implemented for mitigating noise where required. 2.2.1.2
Streetscape and Kerbside Management
Streetscape and kerbside management changes will be undertaken along Tyler Street, Galway Street and Commerce Street as part of the site establishment works. The works will enable the more efficient movement of buses along Commerce Street and provide for improved pedestrian flows along these streets to the temporary BTC station entrance in Station Plaza during construction of the Project. Changes will also be required to temporarily reverse the direction of Tyler Street to allow plant access to the northwest corner of the CPO. Refer to the traffic sequencing diagrams in the Transport, Access and Parking DWP provided at Appendix E to the CEMP for further detail of the proposed changes to the transport network.
2.2.2
Stage 2 – CPO Building Works
2.2.2.1
CPO preparatory works
Preparatory works within the CPO will involve the following:
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016
29 The dismantling and removal of fittings and fixtures and retail outlets/customer service kiosks within the Britomart Station ticket hall that were constructed during the Britomart Transport Centre development works in 2002-2003. Removal of the existing raised timber floor in the main ticket hall (former Banking Chamber), which will be stored in the upper levels of the CPO during the construction works. Demolition of the main ticket hall concrete floor will be undertaken to provide construction access to beneath the building: the concrete floor will be saw-cut into manageable 1 m 2 sections; the first few sections of the floor, adjacent to the north-western access door, will be propped from beneath prior to the saw-cutting and lifted from above; and once there is sufficient space, a slab-grab equipped excavator will be positioned on the basement floor to hold the floor slabs as they are cut, before lowering them to the Basement 1 concourse for processing. Internal walls, beams and nibs will be cut free of the external walls and columns, and broken down using an excavator mounted breaker. The lower BTC floors will be saw-cut and removed and processed on site. An excavator with mounted pulverising and crushing attachments located within the CPO will process the concrete to approximately 14 mm diameter. Steel reinforcing and falsework will be recovered for off-site recycling. On completion of the guide wall construction, the Basement 1 concourse will be filled with crushed concrete. 2.2.2.2
CPO diaphragm wall construction
Diaphragm walls (reinforced concrete walls made in situ) will be installed beneath the CPO to provide temporary support and water retention for the CPO and surrounding ground during the construction works. The outer diaphragm walls will be approximately 800 mm thick and the inner walls approximately 630 mm thick. The walls will be installed to a depth of approximately 18 m and embedded into the rock below the CPO building. Construction of the diaphragm walls will be undertaken as follows: Construction will commence with the installation of a precise guide wall (the guide wall will also serve as a trench for collecting bentonite slurry ejected during concreting works). The diaphragm wall will be excavated in sections of approximately 2-3 m in width, using a Hydrofraise HC05ÂŽ rig consisting of a hydromill cutting head, rope suspended on a purpose built crawler unit. The trench will be supported by a bentonite slurry, injected into the trench to eliminate groundwater ingress into the excavation (refer to Section 2.5 of this CEMP for detail on the use of bentonite during the works). Spoil from the trench will be suspended to the surface by reverse circulation of the drilling fluid, allowing the rig to remain stationary during drilling operations. Pre-fabricated reinforcing cages will be delivered to site in 4.5 m lengths and installed using low-headroom handling equipment. Cages will be mechanically spliced as they are installed. A vermiculite plug followed by high-slump concrete will be tremie-pumped into the base of the trench, forcing the bentonite slurry to the surface, for re-use. The first diaphragm wall section constructed will be a primary panel. A secondary panel will then be cast between two primary panels to form a watertight structural and cut-off
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016
30 diaphragm wall. Construction of the diaphragm wall will be undertaken in this sequence until complete. Approximately 2,500 mÂł of material will be excavated from beneath the CPO as part of the diaphragm wall installation. 2.2.2.3
CPO Piling
The south east corner of the CPO cannot be supported by a diaphragm wall. Three composite bored piles will be installed in this location. The piling will be undertaken as follows: The soil-mix will be constructed by driving a mixing tool at a carefully monitored rate into the soil while injecting grout. Mixing will be conducted during both the penetration and extraction of the tool to ensure the formation a homogeneous mixture. Root piles will then be inserted in the Soil Mixed column.
2.2.3
Stage 3 – CPO and lower Queen Street Excavation and Tunnel Construction
2.2.3.1
CPO Underpinning
Underpinning is required beneath the CPO in order to provide the necessary support to the building during construction of the rail tunnels beneath. Underpinning of the CPO will be undertaken as follows: Steel underpinning beams will be pre-fabricated off-site and installed on-site using a telehandler onto prepared grout-pads. Column collars will be installed and grouted. The load transfer onto the steel underpinning beams will be conducted by flat jacks, then shimmed and locked off. For concrete beams, access through existing walls will be cut or cored for beams and stressing bars respectively, and surfaces to receive beams scabbled. Each beam will be individually boxed, tied, have post-tensioning ducts installed and then cast in-situ. Post-tensioning of the beams will be conducted, followed by collar installation and load transfer. The temporary underpinning beams will remain in place until the completion of tunnel works and backfilling is undertaken. 2.2.3.2
Lower Queen Street Piling
Piling in lower Queen Street will be progressed independent to the piling works within CPO and will likely be undertaken at the same time as jet grouting and underpinning work for the CPO. Prior to the commencement of piling in lower Queen Street, the road surface will be saw-cut and removed, and pile off-sets installed. The piling methodology will be confirmed prior to the commencement of works but will likely involve the following (or combination of the following): Bored piles will be installed to the required rock anchor level under the bentonite slurry. Reinforcing cages will be prefabricated to length off-site and transported to site. The cages will be fitted with concrete spaces to maintain cover and will be installed using the support crane. Concrete will be poured into the pile holes using tremie pipes, which will ensure consistent quality of the concrete pour and the suspension of the bentonite slurry. Installation of steel tubes and sheet piles will be performed using appropriate vibratory equipment. Pre-boring of the tubes will be undertaken as part of the bored piling. Installation of the struts will be undertaken as excavation progresses.
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016
31 Pre-stressed anchoring will be undertaken below the groundwater level, with a blowout pressure device installed. Following the completion of piling, the area will be backfilled, anchoring de-stressing undertaken and struts removed and recycled or reused. Groundwater and surface water will be controlled as detailed in the Groundwater and Settlement Monitoring and Contingency Plan provided at Appendix O. 2.2.3.3
Jet Grouting
Within the CPO, and discrete areas of lower Queen Street, there are areas where underpinning beams, columns and utilities prevent diaphragm wall and bored pile construction. Jet-grouting will be used to seal these gaps, by utilising high-pressure fluid to loosen the soil while mixing it with grout to form a stabilised block. Jet grouting will be undertaken as follows: A double-tube system will be utilised - the inner tube will carry the grout, while the outer tube will carry compressed air. The rate of injection, penetration, and extraction will be controlled by a central monitoring system. High pressure air-shrouded grout will be injected into the soil, eroding the soil and creating a grout slurry. Waste spoil will be ejected as a sludge up through the borehole by airlift. The tubes will be removed at a constant rate, creating a column of grouted soil. The sludge will be dried and disposed off-site at an appropriate location. Refer to Section 2.5.2 of this CEMP for further detail on the operation of the jet grouting plant. 2.2.3.4
Excavation
Excavation beneath the CPO and lower Queen Street will be conducted concurrently as outlined below in order to minimise the risk of differential settlement. Approximately 20,000 m 3 of material will be excavated from the lower Queen Street and CPO excavations. Lower Queen Street Lower Queen Street will be excavated to a depth of approximately 16 m and a distance of approximately 28 m from the western edge of the CPO as follows: The excavation will be undertaken using long-reach excavators positioned at road level excavating between props, which will be lowered into the excavation and installed using a mobile crane. Excavated material will be loaded directly onto waiting truck and trailers that will transport the material off-site to a suitable disposal location. Final trimming and pump-station excavation will be undertaken by a small excavator lowered into the trench, feeding a long-reach excavator at road level. CPO Excavation beneath the CPO will take place in two phases as follows: Phase one Initially, excavation will be conducted from inside the building, with two excavators excavating each rail tunnel in layers. The spoil from the northern tunnel will be loaded onto six-wheeler trucks backed into the CPO through the north-western door. Material will be taken to a suitable off-site location.
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016
32 The southern tunnel spoil may be loaded onto a conveyor belt, installed through one of the existing pedestrian doors, and removed or loaded directly into trucks. Material will be taken to a suitable off-site location. Props and walers will be installed progressively, using the excavators. Phase two Once the second level of struts have been installed within the CPO, excavators within the building will be demobilised. Eight tonne excavators and tracked skid-steer loaders will be lowered into the Lower Queen Street excavation and the CPO. Working beneath the props, the excavators will progress eastwards beneath the CPO, feeding the tracked skid-steer loaders, which will move the material to long-reach excavators waiting on lower Queen Street. Material will be taken to a suitable off-site location. 2.2.3.5
Tunnel Construction
Once the diaphragm walls, piling and underpinning have been constructed as required in lower Queen Street and the CPO, and excavation is complete, the CRL tunnels will be built within the trench, with concrete cast in-situ. A layer of blinding concrete will be placed at the base of the tunnels. The two tunnels and lean mix walls will be constructed concurrently in three phases. Floors, walls and tunnel structures will be constructed in 6-10 m long sections, with each phase following the other as follows: Waterproofing will be installed beneath the base slab, then the steel tied. The waterproofing will be inspected and signed-off before the concrete pour is progressed. The side-wall infill (sand-cement/lean mix/no-fines concrete) will be boxed and poured, then the wall waterproofing fixed. The wall and roof will be tied and poured separately utilising a travelling tunnel form. This will ensure water tightness and reduce congestion at the work site. Concrete will be placed by boom-pump on lower Queen Street and line-pump within the CPO. Finally, the roof waterproofing will be applied, tested and protected. Upon completion, the tunnel formwork will be broken down and removed through the pump-station. 2.2.3.6
Backfilling
Approximately 11,000 m3 of material will be required as fill for the works. Crushed concrete from the CPO ground floor internal demolition will be used as backfill to reduce the quantity of imported fill required. In lower Queen Street, backfill material will be placed over the tunnels by a loader at road level, spread and compacted by plant in the trench. Within the CPO, the material will carted by skid-steer loader from the lower Queen Street faรงade to the eastern end progressively filling towards lower Queen Street. Material will be compacted in layers as it is placed. Props will be removed progressively as backfill progresses. The props will be re-used or recycled off site.

2.2.4
Stage 4 - Reinstatement
2.2.4.1
Lower Queen Street
On completion of the tunnelling and backfilling activities, lower Queen Street will be reinstated in accordance with the Project Urban Design DWP prepared by AT. 2.2.4.2
CPO
On completion of the tunnelling and backfilling activities, the Basement 1 plant rooms and ground floor level of the CPO building will be reinstated to a passenger entry/exit and concourse level incorporating the rail ticketing gatelines. The fixtures and fittings removed from the building prior to the commencement of works within the CPO will be reinstated. 2.2.4.3
Britomart Tie-In Works
The back-of-house (BOH) demolition and tie in from Britomart to the CPO tunnels will be undertaken near the end of the Project as follows: Fixtures and fittings in BOH offices will be removed at night, using the station lifts. Blockwork walls in the BOH area will be broken up using a small excavator with a breaker. Demolition material may be removed to the Strand Railway Station by rail truck or similar at night. Three openings will be required in the secant pile wall, plus buttress demolition. These openings will be formed by wire sawing into manageable sizes, and removal by excavator and rail as above. Modifications of the platforms to suit the new rail tunnels will be conducted primarily at night to minimise disruption. 2.2.4.4
Station Plaza
Station Plaza will be reinstated to the current standard in Stage 4 of the Project, following the removal of the temporary accommodation buildings and when station facilities are reinstated back into BTC upon completion of the main construction works. In accordance with BTC designation Condition 3.2, the Station Plaza accommodation shall be removed within one year of completion of the Project works.
2.2.5
Network Utilities
The Project will require the relocation and protection of various network utilities during the construction works, along with new network utility installations and connections. These works will primarily be undertaken during Stages 1 and 3 of the Project as outlined below. 2.2.5.1
Stage 1 – Temporary Accommodation and Streetscape works
New Connections New utility connections within the road corridor of Galway, Tyler and Commerce Streets will be required for the temporary accommodation buildings and facilities in Station Plaza. The new connections will be installed at the start of the site establishment works and will involve trenching and the installation of utilities beneath Station Plaza and into the road corridor, where the connections to existing utilities will be made. The majority of the works will be carried out during the day with the required temporary traffic control and pedestrian diversions in place to minimise effects.
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016
34 Relocations A number of utilities, including streetlights, Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) and stormwater catch pits, will need to be relocated from the road corridor as part of the streetscape works in Galway, Tyler and Commerce Streets. The majority of utility relocations will be undertaken during the day with the required temporary traffic control and pedestrian diversions in place to minimise effects. 2.2.5.2
Stage 3 – Lower Queen Street
Prior to piling works being undertaken in lower Queen Street (Section2.2.3.2 of the CEMP outlines these piling works), a number of network utilities located within the road corridor will be decommissioned, relocated (temporarily or permanently), or protected in place. The works will be undertaken as follows: The pile alignment will be set out along lower Queen Street. Pavements will be saw cut and the pile alignment excavated using pot-holing techniques. This will enable the identification of any obstructions or utilities along the pile alignment prior to the physical piling operations being undertaken. For utilities that are to be decommissioned prior to the piling works, once exposed by excavations, the utilities will be identified by the asset owner who will confirm that the utility can be decommissioned and removed from the road corridor. Once utilities that require slewing (temporary relocation) are located they will be excavated and exposed. The piling rig will be established on-site and the piling will commence up to the utility, which will then be slewed over and clear of the next adjacent pile. Once adjacent piles are installed, the utility will be slewed back to its original location or an alternate location outside the excavation footprint. Utility support bridges or support hangers required to provide carriage of the utilities over the excavation will be constructed prior to the main excavation works (refer to Section 2.2.3.4 for details of the lower Queen Street excavation works). Further detail on the management of network utilities during the Project is outlined in Section 5.1.15 of this CEMP. 2.2.5.3

Bentonite and Jet Grouting Plants
The diaphragm wall and jet grouting works will require the establishment of bentonite and jet grouting plants on lower Queen Street adjacent to the CPO building, the location of which are shown on Figure 2.4. The operation of the plants is outlined in Sections 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 below.
Bentonite Treatment Plant
Jet Grouting Plant
Figure 2.4: Location of bentonite and jet grout plants
2.5.1
Bentonite Treatment Plant
A bentonite plant will be located adjacent to the south west corner of the CPO building on lower Queen Street. The purpose of the plant is to mix and recycle bentonite slurry required for the diaphragm wall construction. The plant will cover an area of approximately 350 m2 and comprise the following elements: Four to six 80 m3 silos, approximately 15 m in height, for the storage of bentonite slurry and waste; Slurry Treatment Plant (STP)/De-sanding Unit with a capacity of approximately 450 m 3;
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016
39 Bentonite mixer; Bentonite storage bags; Generator; and Excavator. The bentonite plant operation will be as outlined in Table 2.4 and shown on Figure 2.5. Table 2.4:
Bentonite Plant Operation
Bentonite Storage
Storage of bentonite powder and slurry within silos
Bentonite Mixing and Recycling
Mixing of bentonite with water and additives (sodium bicarbonate and bentocryl) to make a bentonite slurry, which will be temporarily stored within the silos before being used in the piling operations. The bentonite mixer will be covered to control bentonite powder dust emissions. Transfer of the bentonite slurry to the storage silo, connected to the circuit of the STP/de-sanding unit and down to the diaphragm wall operations via pipes and hoses. Slurry will be pumped from the trench and travel back to the STP/de-sanding unit where it will be treated to remove solids and recover the slurry for re-use.
Spoil Disposal
Dry material recovered from the de-sanding unit will be removed off-site via truck. Liquid spent slurry following de-sanding will be discharged into a temporary spoil pit (approximately 24 m3) located on site. The spoil will be excavated and transported via trucks (approximately 3 per day) to an approved disposal facility.
Management of Discharges
The entire bentonite plant will be bunded to contain any spilt material or to contain bentonite slurry in the event of a pipe or pump failure during transfer of the slurry. Any surface water collected in the bunded area will drain to the sediment control system on-site for removal of sediment prior to discharge.

2.5.2
Jet Grouting Plant Operation
The main function of the jet grout plant is to mix the cement grout and transfer it to the jet grouting rig at high pressure. The plant will be located adjacent to the north western corner of the CPO building on Lower Queen Street (refer to Figure 2.4). The plant will comprise the following elements: Excavator; Grout mixer; High pressure pump; Generator; Silo for cement powder storage; and Grout storage tank (approximately 10 m3). The jet grout mixing plant will involve mixing water and cement and additional additives to create a slurry mix as outlined in Table 2.5. Table 2.5:
Jet Grouting Operation
Material Storage
Cement powder will be delivered by bulker trucks. The powder is pumped to the storage silo through hoses. Dust filters on the silos will control dust emissions.
Cement Grout Mixing
Cement powder will travel to the mixer via a closed screw conveyor. The conveyor will have a protective cover to control dust. Cement powder will be mixed intermittently with water in the designed proportions and the grout will then be stored in a tank.
Cement grout injection
Grout will travel via hoses, filters and pumps to the high pressure pump, then to the jet grout rig and through the drill string, which will inject the grout into the soil at high pressure to form jet grout columns.
Spoil Disposal
The resulting sludge (made of grout, water and soil) will be pumped at the column location and sent to the spoil pit. It will be disposed similarly as the slurry spoil.
Management of Discharges
The jet grout plant will be bunded, with any surface water draining to the on-site sediment treatment system before discharge into the stormwater network.
2.6
Stormwater and Groundwater Treatment
Stormwater and groundwater that settles in the excavations in lower Queen Street and the CPO will be pumped into an on-site settlement tank where sediment will settle out. Assisted sediment settlement using chemical or non-chemical flocculants (the latter being preferred if effective) will be undertaken as required to ensure water discharged from the system will not result in adverse effects on the receiving environment, in particular the Waitemata Harbour. The treatment tanks will be located at the south eastern corner of the CPO adjacent to the glasshouse (CSA A). Further detail regarding the treatment of stormwater and groundwater during construction of the Project is provided in the Project ESCP and Section 2 of the CTMP (both provided at Appendix M to this CEMP).

2.7
Site Office
The site office and workers amenities will be located on level 1 of the CPO building for the duration of the works.
2.7.1
Site Parking
Minimal on-site parking will be provided for the Project workforce. Vehicle access to the Project area will be restricted to material delivery, spoil removal and service vehicles (for example sediment disposal and fuel supply). It is intended that staff vehicle trips will be minimised through car sharing, use of public transport, off-peak shift starts (especially in the morning) and working during typical construction hours of 7am to 7pm Monday to Saturday. Further details are provided in the Transport, Access and Parking DWP and the Workforce Travel Plan provided at Appendix A to the DWP. The low levels of parking that will be provided in the Project area, along with implementation of the Workforce Travel Plan will serve to reduce congestion in the Project area.
2.8
Site Security and Safety
Generally site security will be maintained by establishing temporary construction fences at the perimeter of all Project construction areas. These may be anchored to, or fixed into, the ground where their location is critical (e.g. to eliminate fall risks). For the duration of construction works on lower Queen Street, fences and/or hoardings will be placed no closer than 3 metres from the north frontage (building frontage onto Queen Elizabeth II Square) of 21 Queen Street (Zurich House) in the vicinity of the entrance to the ground level retail space and the main pedestrian entrance to the building. Gates will be provided at construction entry and exit points and locked shut when the site is unattended. During construction hours, Project staff members will be stationed at operational gates in order to manage vehicle and personnel movements into and out of the gates and to ensure no unauthorised entry into Project construction sites. Noise barriers will be integrated with security fences where appropriate. The locations of noise barriers will be determined by the Project Acoustic Consultant prior to the commencement of construction (refer to Section 5.5 of the CNV DWP for further detail in this regard), however, acoustic barriers/hoardings will be required on all ground floor windows and doors of the CPO prior to construction commencing. Where practicable, construction fences and hoardings will become spaces for Project signage or information, and provide opportunities for mana whenua and community artworks on the public facing sides.
2.8.1
Crime Prevention through Environmental Design
The DSBJV will adopt Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles in the design and layout of construction areas in order to reduce opportunities for offending and increase feelings of worker and public safety during the Project. Natural surveillance, access control and territorial reinforcement will be facilitated by: Using the shortest and least sight-limiting fencing appropriate for the respective construction areas. Closing site office windows at night to prevent prying eyes being “attracted� to contents in the office.
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016
42 Installation of security lights in areas such as pathways, building entrances, rubbish and recycling collection points. Positioning of lights in such a way as to light the faces of people in these areas and provide maximum visibility to surrounding areas. Clear identification of entry/exit points for construction sites and construction support areas. Creating a sense of ownership and responsibility among construction staff for construction areas, to encourage staff to take pride in their work spaces and maintain these to a high standard. Ensuring the Project area is well managed throughout the construction works in order to discourage antisocial behaviours, defacement or vandalism of construction areas (such as through graffiti) or crime. Displaying security system signage at construction site access points. Providing well-defined pedestrian routes with clear sight lines to promote convenient and safe movement within and adjacent to the Project area. Providing legible and informative signage within and around the Project area related to the Project, public facilities (such as the BTC, key bus stops, the Ferry Terminal) and key pedestrian access routes. Refer to the Urban Design DWP for details on how CPTED elements will be implemented as part of the Project’s CSAs and temporary accommodation in Station Plaza.
2.9
Notice Boards
Project notice boards will be located in prominent locations around the Project area, such as lower Queen Street, Tyler or Galway Street (locations will be determined as part of the Project hoarding and signage design element). Notice boards will identify: The Project name; Auckland Transport (as the Requiring Authority and consent holder); The Project hotline; The address for service of the site; and The name, telephone number and email address of the DSBJV Site or Project Manager and the Communication and Consultation Manager.
2.10
Public Viewing
Construction areas will be fenced and kept secure from the public during the works. However, where practicable, opportunities for public viewing will be provided. This will be achieved by integrating Perspex viewing windows or screens in Project hoardings at suitable locations around the site.
2.11
Site Housekeeping
All work sites will be maintained in a tidy and neat condition, and due care shall be taken to prevent damage to any adjoining public or private property. All litter and liquid contaminants will be removed and disposed of in an appropriate manner. Equipment and materials will be stored safely, securely and in an orderly manner. No plant, buildings, debris, or other materials shall be placed or allowed to roll, wash, slide or blow across adjacent boundaries. Site waste will be managed as per the procedures set out within the Project WARRP. On completion of construction work in individual areas, and particularly after the completion of each Project stage, all plant, temporary facilities, debris surplus and foreign materials will be removed from the site as practicable.
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016

2.11.1
Graffiti Management
Security fences and hoardings will be inspected for integrity and graffiti as part of a weekly environmental and sustainability inspection. A small quantity of paint will be kept on site to paint over graffiti rapidly, with a target set for painting over graffiti within 24 hours of identifying the problem (although this may take longer if it requires working at height). Graffiti will be discouraged by painting murals or posting other Project graphic content on the hoardings (or construction fences where practicable) in order to avoid creating a blank canvas for graffiti. Project hoardings will be subject to a graffiti guard treatment, in order to minimise the potential for graffiti around the site.
2.12
Site Reinstatement
At the completion of construction, the DSBJV will return the site to AT for public use. Specifically: The lower Queen Street work site will be reinstated to the same or better standard than existing prior to the Project being undertaken. The temporary accommodation buildings in Station Plaza will be removed prior to the completion of the Project and the area will be reinstated to the same or better standard than existing prior to the Project being undertaken, coherent with wider public realm upgrades in the area. Tyler and Galway Street will also be reinstated to the same or better standard than existing prior to the Project being undertaken, coherent with wider public realm upgrades in the area.
2.13
Project Programme
The Project is anticipated to take approximately 48 months to construct, starting in July 2016 with completion in June 2020. To ensure construction works are undertaken as quickly and efficiently as possible, aspects of the methodology will occur concurrently e.g. works in lower Queen Street and beneath the CPO. The approximate timing of the main construction activities is shown in Table 2.6.

This section addresses the implementation of the CEMP and the sub-plans. The following areas are covered: Roles and responsibilities; Training; Emergency contacts and response; Communication and interfaces; and Complaints management.
4.1
Roles and responsibilities
This section describes the project organisational structure for environmental management.
4.1.1
Overview of Responsibility for this Plan
There are three key groups with responsibility for environmental management of the Project: AT as the Project owner and holder of the designations and resource consents; The DSBJV – contractor undertaking the works; and The Auckland Council which audits the works and monitors compliance with resource consent and designation conditions, the CEMP and specific sub-plans. All DSBJV employees have a responsibility to identify and report all environmental and sustainability aspects within the workplace to their immediate supervisor, and for monitoring the environmental and sustainability awareness practices of subcontractors. These responsibilities will be communicated during the site induction and during tool box meetings throughout the Project. Site environmental and sustainability management will be achieved through aspect identification and assessment. Commitment and continuous improvement to the environmental and sustainability culture by management is critical to its success and continuation. A guide to the tasks required of key personnel responsible for implementing the CEMP and sub-plans is outlined below. The responsibilities will be regularly reviewed to ensure completion of tasks.

Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016
57 All Project staff will receive training of a type and level of detail that is appropriate for the environmental aspects of their routine and emergency work assignments. Other training needs are assessed on a job-by-job, and position-by-position basis. For instance, supervisors, forepersons and leading hands involved in earthworks are required to be competent in erosion and sediment control processes as well as identifying contaminated soils, and will therefore complete a training programme specifically targeted on this area. Site engineers responsible for writing work plans and undertaking site specific safety and environmental risk assessments will also be given guidance on how to assess and plan for environmental issues and sustainability measures. All Project personnel are required to satisfactorily complete the Project Induction Training (outlined in Section 4.2.2). Other mechanisms of communicating environmental controls are through the JSEAs (Job Safety and Environmental Analysis) / SWMS (Safe Work Method Statement), Tool Box Talks and Pre-Start Meetings, all of which are described below.
4.2.2
Project Inductions
4.2.2.1
Employees and subcontractors
All Project staff (including subcontractors) will undergo an environmental and sustainability induction prior to commencing work on-site. The induction will include information on the surrounding natural, physical, social and cultural environment and its sensitivity and outline all Project staff responsibilities under the CEMP and sub-plans. The induction will cover the following matters: Requirements of Project consent, designation and other approvals/permits; Matters of cultural significance to Mana Whenua; Importance of conforming with the Project CEMP and sub-plans; Actual or potential environmental effects associated with the Project construction works and the importance of mitigation in order to avoid or minimise these effects; Location of sensitive receptors and areas of high environmental or heritage value; Site environmental controls to minimise environmental effects; Site sustainability measures, including Waste avoidance and resource recovery methods Methods to minimise energy consumption Utility safety and management during construction works; Site housekeeping and the management and control of loitering outside of the Project area; Spill response and emergency procedures; Hazard and risk management to ensure personnel understand the potential impacts and proposed mitigation measures; Project communications and the complaints management procedures; and Environmental and Sustainability monitoring. Further detail on the above matters will be provided in Project training appropriate to a Project staff member’s position Staff who have completed the environmental and sustainability induction will be provided with an appropriate form of identification, such as a sticker to display on the front of their hard hat or an induction card, in order to certify they have been appropriately inducted onto the Project site.
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016
58 Environmental and sustainability issues will form a regular part of toolbox meetings during the Project (refer to Section 4.2.5 of this CEMP), which are to be attended by contractor staff and subcontractors, in order to ensure all workers are aware of the key issues and to promote the environmentally aware and sustainability sound culture. 4.2.2.2
Visitors
Special shortened inductions may be provided for visitors to the Project where there is minimal potential for environmental harm. All visitors must undergo a visitor’s induction. Sub-contractors are responsible for the actions and conduct of their visitors, and will ensure that visitors obey all environmental and sustainability requirements of the site. Visitors will be accompanied at all times. Under no circumstances will a visitor undertake any physical work on site.
4.2.3
Site Rules Board
The Site Rules Board will be displayed in an area where all can see and review upon entering the site. It will list the relevant environmental and sustainability principles that have been identified and assessed in relation to the works being undertaken. The Site Rules Board will be reviewed and updated to take account of new hazards and environmental risks, or changes in the degree of risk or hazards. New hazards or changes in risk will be normally identified in the Method Statements or in the Daily Job Start. In addition, hazards will be reported during Toolbox Meetings, Weekly Safety Inspections and via the Event Reporting system.
4.2.4
Job Start Briefing
Prior to the start of each shift each crew will be given a Job Start Briefing that will cover all relevant Construction Packages. The approved Job Safety Environmental Analysis (JSEA) will be used as the reference information for that briefing as follows: The briefing will include discussion of safety, quality, environmental protection and sustainability aspects of the activities to be undertaken in that shift. Team members will have the opportunity to improve the hazard control elements of the plan. All team members will sign on to the Job Start plan before they commence work. The work will then be performed in accordance with the Job Start Briefing, and the approved JSEA. An environmental management representative will attend as applicable to explain new environmental controls or reiterate existing controls.
4.2.5 Tool Box Talks Tool Box Talks are conducted for site personnel to deliver specific training in an aspect of work or controls, such as spill kit training or correct erection of a silt fence, to provide site personnel with ongoing environmental training and information throughout the Project. Participants in Tool Box Talks shall sign the attendance sheet.
4.2.6
Environmental and Sustainability Forms
The following forms are proposed to be used in conjunction with the Safe Work Method Statements and Daily Job Start Forms: JSEA;

Environmental Management
This section outlines the environmental management measures that will be implemented during construction of the Project to avoid, remedy or mitigate adverse environmental effects. Methods to address cumulative effects are outlined for specific activities within the suite of DWPs. Most notably these include Construction Noise and Vibration; Transport, Access and Parking; and Groundwater effects. Monitoring for each area includes methods to ensure the effects from the Project are well understood and delineated from effects of concurrent construction projects in proximity. Where mitigation measures are required to be implemented by the Requiring Authority and consent holder (i.e. AT) in relation to the construction of the Project, it shall meet the reasonable and direct costs of implementing such mitigation measures.
5.1.1
Transport, Access, and Parking Management
Construction of the Project will generate additional traffic movements within and adjacent to the Project area and on the surrounding transport network. Activities during construction that will impact the traffic network include trucks delivering plant and equipment, construction material, trucks removing spoil from the excavation, rubbish removal, the pouring of concrete and supervisor’s vehicles. A Transport, Access and Parking DWP is included in Appendix E in accordance with CRL designation Conditions 25 – 27 and BTC designation Condition 24. The objective of the Transport, Access and Parking DWP is to avoid, remedy or mitigate the adverse effects of construction on transport, parking and property access by managing the road transport network for the duration of construction, maintaining pedestrian access to private property as all times, and providing on-going vehicle access to the greatest extent possible. All work zone areas will be physically separated from pedestrians and the public. Within the site, pedestrian access routes will be clearly marked and appropriate signage will identify definitive travel ways. A Workforce Travel Plan has been prepared for each construction site outlining on-site car parking management and methods for encouraging travel to the site using forms of transport other than private vehicle to assist in mitigating localised traffic effects. The Workforce Travel Management Plan is provided as Appendix A to the Transport, Access and Parking DWP.
5.1.2
Construction Noise and Vibration
The Project will create changes to the existing noise environment during construction, with noise and vibration generating machinery operating in relatively close proximity to noise and vibration sensitive receptors. Noise and vibration will be generated by construction equipment and activities, including site establishment works, piling, underpinning of the CPO, excavation, tunnel construction and reinstatement activities in the CPO and Lower Queen Street. Noise associated with piling activities has the potential to be significant. Piling and saw cutting will be restricted to between the hours of 7am-7pm Monday to Saturday in accordance with CRL designation Condition 36.3(b) and BTC designation Condition 28.3(b) with the implementation of mitigation measures as practicable. Vibratory rolling and rock breaking activities will also be prohibited between the hours of 10pm to 7am unless equipment trials confirm compliance can be achieved with the Project criteria set out in condition 27.1, in accordance with BTC designation condition 28.3(c).
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016
61 Construction noise and vibration during the Project works is addressed by the Construction Noise and Vibration Delivery Work Plan (CNV DWP) (Appendix F), prepared in accordance with CRL designation Condition 36 and BTC designation Condition 28. The CNV DWP outlines the Project construction noise and vibration performance standards that must, as far as practicable, be complied with, along with management and mitigation measures that shall be implemented during the construction works. The CNV DWP also outlines construction noise and vibration monitoring that is to be undertaken for the duration of Project construction works. 5.1.2.1
Sites Specific Construction Noise and Vibration Plans
Site Specific Construction Noise Management Plans (SSCNMP) and Site Specific Construction Vibration Management Plans (SSCVMP) will be prepared and implemented in accordance with CRL designation Conditions 37 and 38. Specifically, SSCNVMPs will be prepared for the following buildings: HSBC House (1 Queen Street) - SSNMP; Endeans building (2 Queen Street) - SSNVMP; CPO (12 Queen Street) - SSVMP; Zurich House (21 Queen Street) - SSNMP; and Hotel Mercure (8 Customs Street East) - SSNMP. The purpose of the Site Specific Plans is to detail the Best Practicable Option (BPO) to avoid, remedy or mitigate adverse effects on a receiver resulting from construction noise or vibration that does not comply with the Project Noise and Vibration Standards. Specifically, any predicted or measured exceedance from activities occurring in the CRL designation must have a SSCNMP, except where the exceedance is less than 5 decibels and does not exceed: 0700-2200: 1 period of up to 2 consecutive weeks in any 2 months; or 2200-0700: 1 period of up to 2 consecutive nights in any 10 days. For predicted exceedances of less than 5 decibels, monitoring shall be undertaken to confirm the actual noise levels. Site Specific Plans will outline: The relevant activity, its timing, duration and predicted magnitude of exceedance; A summary of the communication and consultation undertaken with the receiver; and Site specific vibration criteria, methods or measures that addresses the issue(s) of concern (i.e. building damage, amenity or sensitive equipment). Indicative SSCNVMP’s are contained in the CNV DWP (refer Appendix F).
5.1.3
Social Impact and Business Disruption
Social Impact Assessment (SIA) reporting was undertaken to support the CRL designation in 2013 and the BTC designation in 2015. The reporting identified likely effects from the construction works being undertaken as including (but not limited to): Disruption to people’s way of life from construction works affecting access for businesses and residents in some instances, creating social severance issues; Potential impacts on people’s health and wellbeing, particularly during the construction phase of the works as a result of physical environment effects such as vibration (e.g. creating uncertainty/annoyance and/or disturbance for residents and businesses); and
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016
62 Impacts on tenants and leaseholders for whom relocation from the CPO is required, as a result of feelings of uncertainty as to the temporary occupancy of land, cost to business and fears about relocation or displacement. A Social Impact and Business Disruption Delivery Work Plan (SIBD DWP) has been prepared to avoid, remedy or mitigate the adverse effects arising from disruption to businesses, residents and community services/facilities so far as reasonably practicable and is included in Appendix G. The SIBD DWP has been prepared in consultation with the community, business owners, affected parties and affected in proximity parties. Common key concerns raised by parties consulted are summarised below: Loss of short term parking spaces (P10) and loading zones along Tyler Street and Galway Street. Increased traffic flows along Tyler Street. Noise and vibration effects on adjacent receivers during construction. Level of dust generated during the construction works. Construction workers loitering in public open spaces or building lobbies adjacent to the Project area. Impact on pedestrian access along lower Queen Street, specifically whether access will be maintained at all times during construction. Impact on vehicle and pedestrian access into buildings during the works, specifically whether access will be maintained at all times during construction. Impacts to public transport services during the construction works, specifically whether trains and buses will still be operational. Loss of customers or revenue as a result of changes to pedestrian movement patterns during the construction works. Refer to the SIBD DWP for detail as to the management and mitigation of these potential impacts during the construction works.
5.1.4
Built Heritage and Archaeology
The Historic Heritage DWP addresses the management of any adverse effects on built heritage and archaeology that may result during the Project (refer to Appendix H). 5.1.4.1
Built Heritage
The Project area contains a number of built heritage features, including the former CPO building. The Built Heritage Section of the DWP has been prepared in order to avoid, remedy or mitigate adverse effects on built heritage as far as reasonably practicable, and in relation to the CPO, to minimise adverse effects on the heritage values of the CPO during the construction of the Project works, adopting the best practicable option. The Built Heritage Section of the DWP outlines the protection methodology to be employed in order to protect the CPO from any adverse effects during the Project construction works. Specifically, the DWP outlines those historic features of the CPO building that require removal prior to the commencement of construction works and reinstatement upon the completion of works (i.e. building salvage strategy), along with measures that shall be implemented during the Project in order to protect the CPO heritage items that are to remain in place during the construction works. The DWP outlines the key stages of the construction works when the Project Built Heritage Specialist will be on-site to monitor sensitive works to the CPO building’s heritage features and to advise the
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016
63 Project team around construction decisions in order to avoid or minimise adverse impacts on the built heritage values of the CPO building. The DWP also outlines the pre and post building condition surveys (refer to Section 5.1.16 of this CEMP) to be undertaken for all buildings where there is potential for damage to buildings or structures, as well as monitoring and recording of heritage features to be undertaken during the Project. 5.1.4.2
Archaeology
The Project will be located within parts of two known archaeological sites, both being large areas of early reclamation. As such, there is potential to expose additional unrecorded subsurface archaeological remains during the construction works. An Archaeological Authority under Section 44(a) of the HNZPTA 2014 (Authority no. 2016/845) has been obtained for the Project. The management of any pre-1900 archaeological sites exposed within the Project area must be carried out in accordance with the conditions of the Archaeological Authority (refer to Appendix B of the Archaeology Section of the Historic Heritage DWP in this regard) . The Archaeology Section of the DWP outlines the archaeological mitigation requirements and procedures to be followed during archaeological monitoring of works in the Project area, including a plan which shows those areas of the site that are to be monitored for archaeological material. The Plan also details the pre-construction briefings and cultural induction to be given to project staff in order to inform them of the nature and form of archaeological material that may be encountered during excavations. This section of the DWP also sets out procedures to be followed if any unrecorded archaeological remains are discovered and the Project archaeologist is not present, including protocols should any artefacts of Maori origin, especially koiwi, be discovered. The plan also outlines a methodology for the recording, sampling, investigation and analysis of archaeological remains encountered during the construction works.
5.1.5
Urban Design
5.1.5.1
Station Plaza Construction Phase Works
The Urban Design DWP (for Station Plaza) outlines how the temporary above ground construction works will integrate into the surrounding urban landscape, with a particular focus on the temporary Station Plaza Accommodation and CSAs A and C within Station Plaza (Tyler and Galway Streets). Specifically, the plan outlines: The design of the Station Plaza temporary accommodation buildings and how these relate to, and integrate with, the surrounding landscape; How the design for the above ground construction works and structures in Station Plaza and the CSAs (Tyler and Galway Streets) provides for: a safe and secure pedestrian environment through the incorporation, implementation and management of best practice crime-prevention-through-environmental-design principles, systems and equipment; wayfinding measures that are easy to identify and understand, indicating convenient and safe universal access pedestrian movement routes on public streets; and hoardings and fencing that are integral in the design of the Station Plaza building. How Station Plaza and the CSAs will be reinstated upon the completion of the Project. At a minimum, Station Plaza and the CSAs (Tyler and Galway Streets) will be reinstated to the same or better standard than existed prior to the Project works being undertaken and in a manner that is coherent within the wider area and/or recent public realm upgrades in the area.
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016
64 AT is currently preparing an Urban Design DWP that outlines the permanent public realm design for the streetscape and public areas around the Project area. 5.1.5.2
Permanent Public Realm Design
On completion of the Project, the affected streets and other public spaces (‘public realm’) will be reinstated in accordance with the Urban Design DWP for the permanent public realm design. This Urban Design DWP is currently being prepared by AT and will be submitted to Auckland Council as part of a separate Outline Plan at a later date.
5.1.6
Trees and Vegetation
Vegetation within or adjacent to the Project area includes: Grove of kauri trees in QEII Square, which will be impacted by the redevelopment of the Downtown Shopping Centre site, and which have now been removed by Precinct Properties who are undertaking these works; and A single pohutukawa on the corner of lower Queen Street and Quay Street, which is outside the area of construction works and will not be adversely impacted. Accordingly, no trees are located within or in proximity to the Project area, and there is no requirement for the preparation of a Trees and Vegetation DWP.
5.1.7
Public Art
A Public Art DWP has been prepared to address the adverse effects on public art located within or in close proximity to the designation footprint. Art within or adjacent to the Project area includes: ‘Te Ahi Kaa Roa’ – located in QEII Square; ‘Maori Warrior’ – located on the corner of lower Queen Street and Quay Street; The Forest of Stainless Steel Trees – located within the BTC; The Basalt Waterfalls – located within the BTC; and ‘After The Irish Guards’ lightboxes– located within the BTC pedestrian concourse. The Public Art DWP (refer to Appendix J) outlines the appropriate management of public art directly affected by construction of the Project, namely the removal, relocation or re-siting of Te Ahi Kaa Roa, the Forest of Stainless Steel Trees, the Basalt Waterfalls and After the Irish Guards. The DWP also outlines engagement undertaken with the Auckland Council Public Art Team and Mana Whenua (as relevant) in relation to the management of the above art works during construction of the Project. The Maori Warrior is outside the Project footprint and will not be impacted by the works.
5.1.8
Contaminated land
Previous testing of soil in the Project area has not detected contamination within the fill material above relevant assessment criteria. However, the investigations have been limited in extent and there is potential for contamination (including hydrocarbons and metals) to be encountered in the reclamation fill within the Project excavation footprint. The Contamination DWP included in Appendix K addresses CRL designation Conditions 57.1-57.3, and conditions 78-94 of discharge permit R/REG/2014/5435. The Contamination DWP outlines the procedures for handling potentially contaminated soils, and contaminated materials excavated on site. It includes procedures in the event of the discovery of unexpected contaminated materials, and examples of visual and olfactory indicators of contamination. Requirements for further soil testing and monitoring, with regard to the reuse or disposal of soils are outlined in the DWP.
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016

5.1.9
Air quality
During the construction phase of the Project there is potential for air to be polluted by contaminants such as dust, odour and exhaust emissions from plant and equipment. An Air Quality DWP is included in Appendix L. The DWP addresses CRL designation Conditions 59.159.3 and conditions 65-76 of discharge permit R/REG/2014/5437. The purpose of the DWP is to facilitate the avoidance, remediation and mitigation of any adverse effects of dust and odour and promote proactive solutions to the control these discharges from the site. In particular: Dust suppression measures shall be implemented to prevent dust nuisance to adjoining properties, pedestrians and road traffic. Surfaces that could give rise to dust will be swept regularly to remove any dust, and where this is impractical or ineffective these surfaces will be maintained in a damp condition. Emissions from plant and equipment shall be controlled, where applicable, in accordance with legislative requirements (such as emissions standards), and plant utilised for contract works shall be maintained in a good state of repair so as not to produce excessive fumes or leakage of contaminants when parked or in operation. Drivers of haulage vehicles shall cover their loads, where there is a risk of dust and materials being blown from vehicles.
5.1.10
Erosion and sediment control
Earthworks required for the Project will include cut and cover trenching within lower Queen Street and beneath the CPO. Earthworks have the potential to generate sediment laden discharges to the surrounding receiving environment if not appropriately managed. Particular emphasis shall be placed on erosion protection rather than sediment control, given that prevention of sediment generation represents the most effective means of minimising the potential for sediment discharge. An Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) (including a Chemical Treatment Management Plan (CTMP)) is provided in Appendix M. It addresses the requirements of Conditions 45-63 of land use consent R/REG/2014/5430 and Conditions 99-101 of discharge permit R/REG/2014/5436. The ESCP provides for the management of all bulk earthworks to minimise any discharge of debris, soil, sediment or sediment-laden water beyond the site to land, stormwater drainage systems or the receiving environment of the Waitemata Harbour. The ESCP follows the principles of erosion and sediment control which are well understood by the contracting industry, and have their basis in the Auckland Council TP 90. In some circumstances, and where appropriate, measures exceeding the requirements of TP90 will be used where there is a greater risk of erosion and sediment runoff effects associated with undertaking the works. All sediment control measures will be fully established within each ACZ before physical works commence in that area. The CTMP (Appendix B of the ESCP) outlines the specific design details of the chemical treatment system that forms part of the erosion and sediment control system for the Project. The treatment plant will remove sediment from contaminated water generated from the excavation works in order to achieve an acceptable water quality for discharge into the stormwater system. Assisted settlement (through use of a flocculant) may be required at times for the removal of small particles, such as fine silt and clay. The treatment plant will include capability to assist the settlement process with the use of flocculant when required. The CTMP also outlines the water quality monitoring to be undertaken during the Project in order to confirm the water being discharged from the site meets the required discharge quality targets.
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016

5.1.11
Industrial Trade Activities and Hazardous Substances
The Project will involve the use of a variety of construction plant and machinery. The majority of this plant will be motorised and will require a regular supply of fuels and oils. These can become a pollutant if discharged to ground or water. Other materials used in the construction process including bentonite, concrete, bonding agents, sealants, flocculants and degreasers can result in environmental impacts if they are not managed carefully and are discharged to the environment in an uncontrolled manner. Industrial and Trade Activity issues are addressed through the Industrial and Trade Activities Environmental Management Plan (ITA EMP) in Appendix N, as a requirement under conditions 96104 of discharge permit R/REG/2014/5436. The purpose of the ITA EMP is to identify the specific activities to be undertaken at the site that may result in contamination of land and/ or stormwater and to document the procedures to be implemented to appropriately manage these risks. In particular, the ITA EMP outlines the management of the bentonite treatment and jet grouting plants, along with hazardous materials that will be stored and used on site during the Project. A Spill Response Plan for the Project has been prepared (refer Appendix C of the ITA EMP) and details the procedure to follow in the event of a spill to ensure that any spills will be contained within the site boundary, and minimise any discharge of contaminants to the wider receiving environment. All workers will be trained in spill management and the Project spill response procedure as part of site inductions.
5.1.12
Groundwater drawdown
Groundwater effects will be addressed in the Groundwater and Settlement Monitoring and Contingency Plan (GSMCP), which will be prepared at a later time and provided to Auckland Council prior to any dewatering activities occurring (the GSMCP will be contained in Appendix O). It will address conditions 105-132 of water permit R/REG/2014/5432. Excavation activities have the potential to affect groundwater as a result of inflows into the excavation, dewatering and the groundwater response in potentially compressible soil layers. The GSMCP will include survey plans of all monitoring locations and full survey details. Regular monitoring will be three times weekly during dewatering, and the GSMCP will include details of contingency measures to be implemented should alert and alarm triggers be activated. Services that are susceptible to damage as a result of groundwater changes will be outlined in the GSMCP.
5.1.13
Settlement
Ground Settlement effects will be addressed in the GSMCP. Effects associated with settlement will arise from these sources: mechanical settlement of the ground due to physical excavation of material during excavation, mechanical settlement of the ground due to the physical movement of excavation support, and consolidation of the ground due to the drawdown of groundwater. A combination of building condition surveys (Refer Section 5.1.18 of this CEMP) and the measurement of groundwater levels and building movement will be used to identify the potential for settlement effects associated with trench excavation. Contingency measures will be identified and implemented as necessary to avoid, remedy or mitigate potential damage to buildings and services during the construction of the Project.
5.1.14
Construction lighting
During construction, temporary lighting will be required in the main construction areas where work is carried out during the hours of darkness. Light spill has the potential to cause nuisance to surrounding residents and businesses, while glare from temporary lighting has the potential to impact motorists.
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016
67 The principal objectives for the management of temporary lighting are to: minimise nuisance from light spill to residents/building owners or occupiers adjacent to the Project area; and Increase employee and subcontractor awareness of minimising effects of light spill on adjacent properties. The DSBJV will minimise light spill by selecting and procuring light fittings that provide a defined directional beam. Lights will be mounted in elevated positions so that they point down towards the works, rather than across the work space and increasing the risk of light shining into adjacent buildings.
5.1.15
Network Utilities
As outlined in Section 2.2.5 and Appendix P of this CEMP, the Project will require the relocation and protection of network utilities located within the road corridor of lower Queen Street associated with the Stage 3 works, along with new network utilities connections in Galway Tyler and Commerce Streets required for the temporary accommodation works. All works relating to network utilities will be undertaken in a manner that takes account of, and includes measures to address the safety, integrity, protection or, where necessary, relocation of existing network utilities that traverse, or are in close proximity to the Project area. 5.1.15.1
Utility Management Prior to Construction
To minimise the potential for impact on utilities, a comprehensive process will be undertaken to locate utilities using AT utility drawings and engage with the Network Utility Operators (NUOs) to validate the location of their utilities against their own plans. Prior to the commencement of construction, an overview methodology of the utility works outlining the location, protection, support, relocation and/or reinstatement of each respective utility will be produced and submitted to each NUO for review and approval. This will include confirming any relevant NUO requirements with respect to vibrational horizontal/vertical velocities. A methodology, Method Statement and Job Safety Environmental Analysis (JSEA), will be produced by the Site Engineer. This will be used as an on-site tool and to brief site staff. 5.1.15.2
Utility Management during Construction
The process for relocating and reinstating utilities during construction will include the following: A Dig Permit will be generated by the Site Engineer, which will include all relevant service plans received from utility providers by lodging a B4udig request. The Permit will also be aligned with AT design drawings. Utilities will be physically marked out by the NUO’s nominated locator. If utilities are expected within the excavation, potholing is to be completed until the utility is reached. All utilities will be treated as live until identified. The NUO may appoint a ‘Standover’ if they consider there is a risk to their asset(s) during this exercise. Once exposed, the relevant utility will be identified against Dig Permit plans by the site engineer. If unidentifiable, the relevant NUO will be contacted. The Site Engineer will monitor any excavations daily, and take photos, record and survey exposed utilities for the duration of construction works. This information will be provided to the relevant NUO.
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016
68 Vibration monitoring will be undertaken as required for works in proximity to existing network utilities. In addition, all Project staff will be appropriately trained in utility safety management by way of the following measures: Prior to any construction works, employees, sub-contractors and visitors (as required) will be inducted onto site as outlined in Section 4.2 of this Plan. Induction briefing will include excavation, utility location and safe work practices. Method statement (MS) and JSEA to be will be completed and briefed to personnel involved in the works. Contingency measures will also be included in these documents. Prestart briefings will be completed on a daily basis with the construction personnel to identify daily site hazards The Dig Permit process will be completed prior to each excavation package. Personnel involved in the works will be briefed on this document prior to the works. The Dig Permit will outline all restrictions and designations that are noted in the AT design plans. Utilities will be marked out on the ground in line with the Dig Permit process. Physical ground monitoring indicators are to be installed as per the GSMCP. 5.1.15.3
Operation and Maintenance of Existing Utilities
Any works to existing network utilities during the Project will be undertaken to ensure the continued operation of network utility operations and the security of supply of the services by NUOs at all times. Where utilities are exposed and may be vulnerable to construction activity, they will be protected as per the utility protection requirements instructed from the NUOs, and protection measures designed by AT for utility services over the lower Queen Street excavation. To ensure that NUOs have access to existing network utilities for maintenance, emergency and urgent repair works during the construction works, the following will be implemented: Specific access plan for each NUO and their respective utility will be established prior to the commencement of construction. In the case of emergency or repair works to network utilities, all site personnel will have access to emergency call lines listed in the Method Statement. Access will be task specific and will be included in the task Method Statement. Nearby utility chambers will be uncovered at all times during the works in order to allow NUOs ongoing access to their utilities. 5.1.15.4
Risk and Emergency Management
The Project Risk Register will include a utilities section. The section will identify each network utility located within the Project area, along with a list of possible scenarios related to that utility. Each scenario will have a risk level, consequence, action and mitigation procedure. An emergency plan will be included in each Task Method Statement that will include a step by step process for emergency management, including with respect to network utilities. The Plan will include emergency contact details for each NUO and locality plans for evacuation points. The Project Zero Harm and Safety Management Plan will contain further details around safe work practices and risk management that would be implemented in the unlikely event of a network utility incident.

Engagement with Network Utility Operators
Engagement has been undertaken with the following NUOs who have network utilities located within the Project area: Chorus, Vector Gas, Vector Communications, Vector Power, Watercare (sewer and potable water), Auckland Council (stormwater), Citylink, Kordia and Vodafone (refer to Appendix P). Engagement has involved an initial Project start up meeting with all providers to outline the Project and present AT’s network utility protection and relocation drawings. Engagement with individual NUOs is underway to validate/check AT’s drawing against the operators own plans (refer to Appendix P) and will remain on-going throughout the Project. Future engagement/liaison will include establishing the pre, during and post inspection requirements established for each NUO and an overview methodology of the utility works covering location, protection, support, relocation and/or reinstatement that will be submitted to each NUO for review and approval. Redline as-builts will be provided to the NUOs following the completion of the Project. Communication with NUOs is further detailed in Section 8.1.6 of the Project Communication and Consultation Plan.
5.1.16
Condition Surveys
5.1.16.1
Building Condition Surveys
Building condition surveys will be undertaken in accordance with CRL designation Condition 46 and BTC designation Condition 31, along with Condition 133 and Appendix 1 of the resource consents. Specifically, a building condition survey will be undertaken for all buildings where there is potential for damage to buildings or structures (including heritage buildings or structures) arising from construction works, such as excavation, dewatering or vibration effects from construction works. The surveys will be undertaken by an independent, qualified Chartered Professional Engineer, or member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, appointed by AT. Building damage criteria will initially be assessed in accordance with Burland, J.B. (1997) “Assessment of Risk of Damage to Buildings due to Tunnelling and Excavation”. Additional factors which may be considered in determining whether a building condition survey will be undertaken include: a b
Age of the building. Construction types.
c d
Foundation types. General building condition.
e f
Proximity to any excavation. Whether the building is earthquake prone.
g
Whether any basements are present in the building.
As a minimum buildings located in proximity to the Project area and listed in Appendix 1 of the BTC designation conditions, Appendices 1 and 2 of the CRL designation conditions and Appendix 1 of water permit R/REG/2014/5432, will be considered for a building condition survey. The condition surveys will be undertaken by a suitably independent, qualified Chartered Professional Engineer, or member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors as required by the designation and consent conditions.
Construction Environmental Management Plan

Ground Surface, Retaining Walls and Services
As required by water permit R/REG/2014/5432, during dewatering activities (defined in the resource consent as bulk excavation and/or the taking of any groundwater from the tunnel excavation or any dewatering prior to excavation) permit conditions require the monitoring of ground settlement monitoring, retaining walls in proximity to the Project area and any potentially affected services. Refer to the GSMCP at Appendix O for further detail on this monitoring.
5.1.17
Waste management
A WARRP has been prepared for the Project. The WARRP sets out the procedures and environmental expectations in relation to waste management. Throughout construction, the Project is striving to send zero waste to landfill. Designing for waste minimisation is a priority to support this aspirational goal. Waste material refers to items removed from worksites and road carriageways, such as surplus or spoil, excavated seal, pipes, rubbish detritus and any other unwanted materials. Appropriate disposal shall be arranged for any surplus or waste material. Where practical, waste streams will be segregated for re-use or recycling, and opportunities to minimise waste will be implemented. If the disposal of hazardous wastes is required, they will be disposed of safely, through an appropriate contractor authorised to handle, transport, process or safely dispose of the waste concerned. Specifically, in relation to waste avoidance and resource recovery during the construction phase, the DSBJV will: Consider how to avoid the creation of waste by optimising the use of the materials available and procured; Consider how materials can be reused or recycled; Consider potential waste generated by the product or related packaging; Consider the environmental and social impacts of the waste; and Consider how far items must be transported for recovery.
5.1.18
Energy Use
AT are committed to minimising the use of fossil fuels and the corresponding release in greenhouse gas emissions (GHG emissions). Where practical, renewable energy sources will be used and methods to reduce energy use and GHG emissions will be implemented such as: Use of power from the national grid rather than on site generators; Use of biofuel; Use of hybrid and/or energy efficient equipment; Use of LED lights; Operator and driver training; and Optimisation of equipment maintenance. During construction, data from energy use will feed into carbon footprint calculations in order to monitor actual energy use and to help measure the effects of innovations and improvements that have been implemented.
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016
71 Inductions and tool box meetings throughout the Project will highlight the energy use goals and the measures that individuals can take to help achieve the goals. Refer to the Sustainability Rating Management Plan for further information regarding the carbon footprint calculations and the Sustainability Opportunities Register for further examples of energy reduction opportunities under investigation.
5.1.19
Water Use
Water is a resource often used without consideration due to its apparent abundance in New Zealand. However, as with other material use, it should be used with consideration and care as there are environmental costs associated with its delivery and treatment. Water use will be monitored during the Project to track performance and promote considerate use. Where practical water saving opportunities will be implemented such as: Reuse of ground water (provided it is not contaminated) for dust suppression; Capture of rain water for use on site for non-potable requirements (i.e. saw cutting, wheel washing, jet grouting, concrete mixing); and Water efficient workers amenities. Water losses can contribute to significant water use, as such, meter readings will be completed weekly to identify significant increases in water use that are unexplainable. The Project Environmental and Sustainability Inspections will include checks of hoses and water connections for leaks. Refer to the Sustainability Rating Management Plan for further information regarding the metering and modelling of water use and the Sustainability Opportunities Register for further examples of water use reduction opportunities.
5.1.20
Material Use
Due to the very nature of construction, significant volumes of materials will be used. In order to reduce the environmental, social and economic impacts associated with material usage a number of initiatives will be undertaken, including: The use of environmentally certified materials; The use of renewable resources; The use of recycled products (provided they meet specification); and The use of locally sourced products. Material use will be monitored using the ISCA Materials calculator, refer to the Sustainability Rating Management Plan for further information.
5.2
Emergency and incident response
There is the potential for unforeseen events to occur that may impact on the environment and will require emergency response. Prompt and effective emergency preparedness and response reduces losses and the consequences of natural and man-made disasters. The following sections detail how environmental incidents or emergencies will be managed by the DSBJV.
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016
72
5.2.1
Environment Incident management
An environmental incident is an occurrence which has (or potentially could have had) an ‘adverse’ effect on the environment. An adverse effect is something that causes (or could have caused) environmental harm. An environmental incident can also be a deviation from the Project environmental management system, this CEMP or sub-plans. This means there has been a failure to follow the established process or procedures that help the Project achieve best practice (e.g. failure to report a spill). Environmental incidents include but are not restricted to: Significant (large volume) chemical or oil spill; Excessive discharge of sediment to the stormwater system; Inappropriate material disposal; Vegetation damage; Hazardous substance release to air; Significant ground instability; Network utility incident; or Reoccurring or major exceedances of noise, vibration or air quality limits.
5.2.2
Emergency response
The DSBJV emergency response procedure will be displayed in prominent locations around the site and employees will be trained in its requirements. All relevant Project personnel, subcontractors and relevant emergency agencies will be instructed and rehearsed, as appropriate, in the requirements of the emergency response procedure. The procedure is based on the following: SAFETY FIRST – if it is not safe to mitigate the effects of the incident in accordance with the Project Safety Management Plan, contact immediately emergency services who will attend the site as required. If it is safe to do so: Stop the source of pollution; Relocate the polluting source to an area where it can be contained; Use available site resources to prevent any further migration of the pollution off site; and Use available resources to clean up any contamination. Contact the Environmental and Sustainability Manager (or delegate) who will notify the Project Director and AT Representative who will contact regulatory agencies. The emergency response procedure will incorporate the following components: Emergency contact list; Emergency Reporting Instructions; Emergency Muster Point Location; Emergency Response Co-ordinator Action Plan; and Emergency Personnel and Equipment.
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016
73
5.2.3
Spill Response
As outlined in Section 5.1.11 of this CEMP, the Project Spill Response Plan outlines the specific procedures to follow in the event of a spill to ensure that any spills will be contained within the site boundary, and minimise any discharge of contaminants to the wider receiving environment. The management of spills at the site will differ depending on the quantity, type of material and location of the spill. As no significant volumes of environmentally hazardous substances apart from the bentonite and jet grouting plants are anticipated, the spill response procedures for the Project have been divided into three separate procedures as follows: General Emergency Spill Response Plan, which covers all areas of the site; Bentonite Plant spill response procedures; and Jet Grout Plant spill response procedures. Spill kits and signage relating to spill response procedures will be located at each vehicle entrance to the site during each stage of work. All workers will be trained in spill management and the Project spill response procedure as part of site inductions. All spill kits will be checked and re-stocked following an environmental incident.
5.2.4
Environmental Incident/Emergency Response forms and register
Should an incident occur, a full environmental investigation will be carried out utilising the Environmental Incident Reporting Process Flowchart (Downer document reference DH-ZH-FL001) and the Incident Reporting, Classification, and Management Standard (Downer document reference DN-ZH-PR001) provided at Appendix Q to this CEMP. Investigations are not undertaken to lay blame but to identify improvements in order to prevent incidents reoccurring. The findings of the investigations will be discussed in Tool box meetings and Environmental Alerts will be generated for wider dissemination where appropriate. Learnings from the investigation carried out following the event will be disseminated to the Project team and discussed at appropriate Project meetings or tool box talks, with the aim of avoiding similar issues or occurrences in the future.
5.3
Communication and Stakeholder Interface
The Project Communication and Consultation Plan outlines the strategy, tools and process to manage communication and engagement between the DSBJV, Project stakeholders and the community throughout construction of the Project. In accordance with CRL designation Condition 15 and BTC designation Condition 16, the plan sets out how the DSBJV will inform the community of Project progress and construction dates, foster good relationships with the community, obtain feedback from stakeholders, and outline how complaints and queries will be responded to. In particular, the plan sets out communication procedures in relation to the following matters for residents, road users and businesses potentially affected by the construction works (refer also resource consent Condition 33(d): Consultation prior to the commencement of construction; Notice periods for changes to pedestrian and vehicle access; Regular updates on construction progress; Key dates for major milestones such as road closure and re-opening; and
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016
74 Communication on any other matters potentially affecting residents or business operations in the vicinity of the works. The Communication and Consultation plan has been prepared in consultation with stakeholders, directly affected parties and affected in proximity parties.
5.3.1
Complaints Management
All complaints will be managed, investigated and resolved (as appropriate) in accordance with the Complaints Management process outlined in Section 12 of the Project Communication and Consultation Plan. In particular: Enquiries and complaints will be dealt with in a responsive manner so that stakeholders feel their concerns are being seriously dealt with and not dismissed. This will assist in building a relationship of trust and reliability between the community and project team. The Communications and Stakeholder Management team will handle the enquiries and complaints that arise on a project. Prior to commencement of construction, a 24 hour toll free telephone number and email address for enquiries, complaints and suggestions/feedback will be established and widely published by AT and the DSBJV. Project notice boards will clearly display Project contact details, including the Project hotline number. If any member of the Project team is approached in the field by someone distressed or concerned about the project, they will notify the Communications Manager immediately When a complaint or enquiry is received, either electronically or via telephone, immediate acknowledgement shall be provided. Where possible, a response will be provided the same day. Where the inquiry demands a more detailed response, this will be provided within two working days. When a complaint or enquiry is received by a member of the wider project team, details of this shall be forwarded to the Communications Manager via a complaints / enquiry form. On receipt of this information, the Manager shall contact the complainant / enquirer directly and follow the protocols outlined above. Details of all enquiries and complaints are to be recorded and maintained in the stakeholder database. The database will have the facility to raise and close out ‘actions’. Each month a record of activity will be printed out, to ensure all actions have indeed been closed out. All complaints shall be responded to in accordance with the relevant sub-plans (as appropriate), which may require the monitoring of an activity by a suitability qualified expert and implementation of mitigation measures. A report detailing complaints and responses will be provided to Auckland Council two monthly or as agreed and to the AT Project Representative. 5.3.1.1
Environmental Complaints Form
All enquiries, issues and environmental management-related complaints will be dealt with as noncompliance report (NCR) or an Opportunity for Improvement (OFI), recorded on the Non Conformance and Opportunity for Improvement Form (ST05 – Downer document reference DN-QAFM006.2) (refer to Appendix R). The forms will record the following information: Name and address of complainant (unless they elect not to provide this information); Identification of the nature of the complaint; Date and time of the complaint and alleged event;
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016
75 Weather conditions at the time of the complaint, including wind direction and cloud cover if the complaint relates to noise or air quality; Known Project construction activities occurring on site at the time of the complaint; Any other activities in the surrounding area unrelated to the Project construction that may have contributed to the concern or complaint, such as non-Project construction, fires, traffic accidents or unusually dust conditions; and Remedial actions undertaken (if any) and the outcome of these, including monitoring of the activity and/or the result of any investigation or inquiry carried out in respect to the complaint. Relevant parties, including the complainant, Auckland Council, HNZPT, informed of the results of the complaints inquiry and actions taken. 5.3.1.2
Environmental Complaints Register
A stakeholder database of all queries relating to the Project will be managed by the Communications Manager. It will contain all complaints received in relation to the Project. These complaints will be discussed at regular meetings held between the Project Director, Construction Manager, Communications Manager and the Environmental and Sustainability Manager, along with the AT Project Representative.

Monitoring and Reporting
This section describes the procedures for monitoring construction activities undertaken during the Project in order to evaluate compliance with legal requirements, the Project designation and resource consent conditions, the CEMP and sub-plans, along with relevant standards and guidelines.
6.1
Environmental Compliance and Sustainability monitoring
Scheduled monitoring of environmental compliance in accordance with the Project designation and resource consent conditions and sustainability measures implemented will be undertaken throughout the construction phase of the Project to ensure that no adverse impact on the environment occurs and sustainability opportunities are realised. This enables the overall effectiveness of the environmental controls and sustainability measures to be determined and allows areas of non-compliance or opportunities for improvement to be identified so appropriate actions can be taken. The specific monitoring required for each environmental or sustainability element is detailed in the respective sub-plans. The sub-plans outline monitoring requirements for particular environmental disciplines, the frequency of the monitoring to be undertaken and the appropriate responsible person, as required within contract documentation or environmental approvals issued for the Project. In general, monitoring of the environmental and sustainability aspects of the Project will be conducted on a routine basis. Additional monitoring may be required in the event of a complaint or incident, or after a rain event in the case of water quality monitoring, or in the instance of potential cumulative effects. The Environmental and Sustainability Manager is responsible for the implementation of on-site measurements of environmental aspects, including water quality. External specialists may be used, where required, to conduct specialist monitoring, including noise, vibration, air quality, and non insitu water monitoring. The initiation of such monitoring is on an as-needed basis and may be in response to contract requirements, complaints or internal requirements. Environmental and sustainability monitoring results will be reported to relevant parties (i.e. Auckland Council or HNZPT) when required by designation and resource consent conditions.
6.1.1
Collaborative Working
6.1.1.1
Auckland Council Compliance Officers
The DSBJV will adopt a collaborative working process for liaison with the Auckland Council Consent Monitoring Officers. The process will involve a “key contact” from AT - the AT Principal Planner, and a “key contact” from the DSBJV - Environmental and Sustainability Manager (refer to Table 6.1), working with the Auckland Council Consent Monitoring officer(s) and meeting at least monthly unless a different timeframe is agreed with AC. The purpose of the meeting is to report on compliance with the designation conditions and with the CEMP and sub-plans (including any Site Specific Plans) and material changes to these plans, and on any matters of non-compliance and how they have been addressed. The meeting will also serve to: Provide a mechanism through which any changes to the design, CEMP, DWPs or Site Specific Plans, which are not material changes triggering the requirement for a new Outline Plan, can be required, reviewed and confirmed. Advise where changes to construction works following a confirmed Outline Plan require a new CEMP, DWP or Site Specific Plan.
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016
77 Review and identify any concerns or complaints received from, or related to, the construction works monthly (unless a different timeframe is mutually agreed with the Auckland Council Consent Monitoring officer) and adequacy of the measures adopted to respond to these. The review process for the CEMP and sub-plans is outlined in Section 7 of this CEMP. Table 6.1:

The collaborative working process will operate for the duration of the construction works and for 6 months following completion of construction works where monitoring of designation conditions is still required, unless a different timeframe is mutually agreed between the Requiring Authority and the Auckland Council. The Environmental and Sustainability Manager will be responsible for co-ordinating any changes to the CEMP or sub-plans required as a result of the collaborative working process and communicating these updates or information resulting from the collaborative working process with the Project team.
6.1.2
General site monitoring
Site inspections are a process of assessing a task or work situation through observation, discussion, reinforcement of positive effects, and correction of any negative aspects. A key purpose of the site inspection is to raise awareness of environmental, sustainability safety and operational issues. In addition to formal environmental and sustainability monitoring, the following general site monitoring will be undertaken: Daily – The Environmental and Sustainability Manager will conduct inspections (including subcontractor activities), and any issues will be noted. These inspections are informal visual inspections in order to check compliance with this CEMP. Weekly – Formal site inspections are to be completed by the Environmental and Sustainability Manager. Site specific checklists will be developed to check compliance with resource consent and designation conditions, this CEMP and the sub-plans. Issues will be noted if they present significant environmental and sustainability risks (e.g. noisy works, significant dust generation, settlement tank maintenance). Opportunities for improvement will also be considered. Monthly – The AT Environmental and Sustainability Representatives, along with the Construction Manager will undertake a monthly site visit with the Environmental and Sustainability Manager. The purpose of the visit is to confirm that environmental monitoring programmes and work procedures containing environmental and sustainability controls are being implemented in accordance with the site specific CEMP, sub-plans, work instruction and resource consent and designation conditions.
Construction Environmental Management Plan

6.1.3
Monthly Environmental Compliance Record
At the end of each month, the Environmental and Sustainability Manager will submit an Environmental and Sustainability Report to the AT Environmental and Sustainability Representatives. The report will include but not be limited to: A summary of environmental issues and actions during the month to ensure compliance with this CEMP and the sub-plans; A summary of sustainability issues and actions during the month to ensure achievement of the ISCA Excellent Rating; Performance in relation to environmental and sustainability objectives and targets; All designation and resource consent condition compliances, including any exceptional events and performance measures; Any new task-specific approved Environmental Plans in operation on site as required in accordance with conditions of the designations and resource consents; All monitoring and inspections of controls and systems; Non-conformance reports, incident reports or complaints generated by the contractor, the engineer, the client, consultants or other affected parties; All reported incidents of adverse effects and corrective action reports, including any nil returns; and Environmental inductions and awareness training provided.
6.1.4
Monitoring review
The Environmental and Sustainability Manager and Construction Manager or delegate(s) will review the daily inspection forms on a weekly basis to confirm that the checks and subsequent works required are being carried out, and additional inspections are included as per construction progress. A regular meeting will be held on site between the Project Director, Construction Manager, the AT Environmental and Sustainability representatives, and the Environmental and Sustainability Manager to discuss the results of the weekly and monthly site monitoring. On a monthly basis the Environmental and Sustainability Manager will review the monitoring schedule and compliance results from the required Environmental Monitoring as per the resource consent and designation conditions. The monitoring review will assist with identifying opportunities for continual improvement of environmental and sustainability practices. Learnings or findings from Project monitoring reviews will be disseminated to the Project team and discussed at appropriate Project meetings or tool box talks, with the aim of avoiding similar issues or occurrences in the future.
6.2
Corrective action
Corrective action is required on the basis of the occurrence of substandard performance being observed or experienced, resulting in an environmental complaint, incident or emergency or where a significant environmental incident or emergency could have occurred. Corrective or preventative actions identified during environmental and sustainability audits shall be appropriate to the magnitude of the problem and appropriate to the environmental harm encountered. Ultimately the Project Director has responsibility for closing out any corrective or preventative actions resulting from the inspections, audits and external regulatory compliance monitoring.
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016
79 Additionally, assessment and follow-up reviews on the effectiveness of corrective and preventive actions will be undertaken and the outcomes documented, communicated and implemented. Compliance shall be included as a regular agenda item at management meetings and project meetings. Minutes from each meeting shall record and assign actions to individuals where appropriate. A copy of the following forms related to environmental compliance and corrective action are appended to this CEMP: Environmental Incident Reporting Process Flowchart (Downer document reference DH-ZHFL001) provided at Appendix Q; Incident Reporting, Classification, and Management Standard (Downer document reference DN-ZH-PR001) provided at Appendix Q; SPM06 Controlling Non-Conformance (Downer document reference – DN-QA-PR006) provided at Appendix R; SPM07 Taking Corrective and Preventive Action (Downer document reference – DN-QA-PR007) provided at Appendix R; ST05 Non Conformance and Opportunity for Improvement Form (Downer document reference DN-QA-FM006.2) provided at Appendix R; and ST06 Corrective and Preventative Action Flowchart (Downer document reference – DN-QAFL006.4) provided at Appendix R to this CEMP.
6.3
Document Control and reporting
The Environmental and Sustainability Manager is responsible for ensuring all relevant documentation is submitted and maintained within the Project filing and document control system. Applicable documentation will include but not be limited to: All environmental incidents reports and investigation outcomes; Weekly and fortnightly environmental checklists and reports files by contractors; Formal and informal audit and environmental and sustainability inspection reports; Any laboratory analysis submitted by external consulting groups; Records of environmental and sustainability training; Chain of custody records; and Minutes of meetings.
6.4
Environmental and Sustainability Auditing
Internal Environmental and Sustainability Auditing (by Project staff) is required to determine whether the Project’s environmental and sustainability management system conforms to planned arrangements, is properly implemented and maintained, and to assist the Project team with identification of opportunities for continual improvement of environmental and sustainability practices. Internal audits will be completed on a quarterly basis (or more frequently as specified in the Project Audit Schedule) by the Environmental and Sustainability Manager (or delegate). Findings from the audits will be presented to the Construction Manager and Project Director within two weeks of conducting the audit.
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016
80 Internal audits will focus on environmental and sustainability matters within a single operational procedure or a group of related operational procedures (e.g. erosion and sediment control procedures, waste management reporting.) External Environmental and Sustainability Audits (by DSBJV Parent Company Staff not involved in the Project or a suitably qualified consultant) will be completed as per the Project Audit Schedule, and at least annually, to assess the effectiveness of the Environmental Management System. Findings from the external audits will be presented to the Construction Manager and Project Director within four weeks of conducting the audit.

CEMP Review and Updating
The CEMP will be updated over the course of the Project to reflect material changes associated with changes to construction techniques, the natural environment or due to unresolved complaints. Approval from Auckland Council will be required for any relevant revisions of the CEMP that are of a material nature.
7.1
CEMP Review
A review of the CEMP will be undertaken at least annually by the DSBJV and AT. The review will be organised by the Environmental and Sustainability Manager and all project personnel will be informed of any changes to the CEMP through the regular Project communications processes. The review will take into consideration: Compliance with the designation and resource consent conditions, the CEMP, sub-plans (including site specific plans) and material changes to these plans. Any significant changes to construction activities or methods. Key changes to roles and responsibilities within the Project team. Changes in industry best practice standards. Changes in legal or other requirements (social and environmental legal requirements, consent conditions, AT objectives and relevant policies, plans, standards, specifications and guidelines). Results of inspections, monitoring and reporting procedures associated with the management of adverse effects during construction. Comments or recommendations from Auckland Council regarding the CEMP and/or sub-plans. Unresolved complaints and any response to complaints and remedial action taken to address the complaint. Following audits where improvements/changes are suggested. Following performance reporting to senior management where improvements/changes are made. A summary of the review process will be provided annually to AT and Auckland Council, and also made available to Council on request.
7.2
CEMP Updates
The process for updating the CEMP is as follows (refer to CRL designation Condition 23 and BTC designation Condition 22 for further information): Any material change to the CEMP and DWPs must be consistent with the purpose and objective of the relevant condition. Affected parties and the CLG will be notified of the review and any material change proposed to the CEMP and DWPs. The CEMP and DWPs must clearly document the comments and inputs received by AT from affected parties about the material change, along with a clear explanation of where any comments have not been incorporated, and the reasons why not. Affected parties (identified in BTC Condition 14.2(c)(ii)) will be provided the opportunity to provide feedback and input regarding the CEMP and DWP review process. Any material change proposed to the CEMP and DWPs shall be subject to an independent peer review as required by CRL designation Condition 11 and BTC designation Condition 12.
Construction Environmental Management Plan
July 2016
82 Following that review any material change proposed to the CEMP and DWPs relating to an adverse effect shall be submitted for approval to Auckland Council Compliance and Monitoring Officer, at least 10 working days prior to the proposed changes taking effect. If any changes to the DWPs required under the CRL and BTC designations are not agreed, the relevant provisions of the RMA relating to approval of outline plans shall apply In the event of any dispute or disagreement on changes to the CEMP and sub-plans required by the CRL Britomart to Wyndham Street resource consent conditions, the matter shall be referred to Auckland Transport (as the consent holder) and Auckland Council’s Team Leader Central Monitoring, to determine a resolution process. If a resolution process cannot be agreed, then the matter shall be referred to an independent and appropriate senior qualified person ('referee') agreeable to both parties (refer to resource consent Condition 8 for further detail). A copy of the original CEMP document and subsequent versions will be kept for the Project records, and marked as obsolete. Each new / updated version of the CEMP documentation will be issued with a version number and date to eliminate obsolete CEMP documentation being used. A register of approved changes of the CEMP and sub-plans is located in Appendix S.

FINAL DECISION IN TRAM LEASE CASE, AND DETERMINATION OF CONSENT ORDERS IN THE OTHER CASES
A.
The appeals are allowed in part subject to amended conditions set out in Annexure A to this determination.
B.
The appeals are otherwise dismissed.
REASONS FOR DECISION Introduction
[1] In 2014 six appeals were filed against Notices of Requirement for Designation issued by Auckland Transport for an underground passenger railway line in central Auckland known as the City Rail Link (“CRL”). The Tram Lease Appeal
[2] The appeal by Tram Lease Limited (“Tram Lease”) was against one of the six Notices of Requirement (NOR6). This appeal was heard in June and July 2015, following which the Court issued decision [2015] NZEnvC 137.
The decision
confirmed the designation subject to the finalising of appropriate conditions.
[3]
In October 2015 the parties to the Train Lease appeal filed agreed amended
conditions, subject to one dispute. The dispute concerned the wording of condition
61.5.
[4]
Auckland Transport and Auckland Council preferred the following wording, i and sought that condition 61.5 be amended as follows:
In relation to the site at 32 Normandy Road the Requiring Authority shall consult with sub-lessees in the presence of the landowner and head lessee when developing site/business Specifi c mitigation plans, unless the sub-
lessee(s) request otherwise. [5]
Auckland Transport submitted that the reason for this preferred wording was
that while it is willing, in principle, to engage with all of the stakeholders on the site jointly, if any sub-lessee(s) wish(es) to deal with the issues separately to the
landowner and head lessee it did not consider that it would be appropriate to bind the sub-lessee(s) to consultation together with those parties. [6]
CJM Investments and Tram Lease preferred different wording.
They
submitted that their preferred wording took into consideration the Court’s directions in the decision that “An appropriate condition is to be prepared allowing for AT to
consult with sub~lessees in the presence of landowner and head lessee, concerning mitigation and to lessen anxieties”. CJM Investments and Tram Lease sought that condition 61.5 be amended as follows:
In relation to the site at Normandy Road, the Requiring Authority shall consult with sub-lessees only in the presence of the landowner and head lessee when developing mitigation plans. [7]
In light of this disagreement the parties requested a determination be made
as to the most appropriate wording for condition 61.5. [8]
The Court has considered the parties’ submissions on the point.
The
wording as proposed by Auckland Transport and Auckland Council is preferred by the Court, purely as a matter of fairness to the sub-lessees. Condition 61.5 is amended to adopt the wording proposed by those two parties. The Consent Orders
[9] The parties have filed draft consent orders resolving the other five appeals. he Court has considered each individual draft order and is satisfied that all parties to
each draft consent order agree to the amendments sought. Accordingly, the Court determines those appeals by consent. Determination
[10]
The six appeals ďŹ led against the Notices of Requirement for Designation by
Auckland Transport for an undergroulld passenger railway line in central Auckland
are determined subject to the amended conditions attached to this determination as Annexure A.

be provided in each station environment. (vii) Street Crossings — Safe pedestrian street crossings shall be provided inithe immediate vicinity of station entrances to the extent practicable. The provision of level street crossings is preferable over any grade separated solutions. (viii) Footpaths — Footpaths surrounding stations need to be adequate to provide for
pedestrians entering and exiting the stations. (ix) Grade separated rail crossings — Structures associated with grade separated rail crossings need to be carefully and sensitively designed and in accordance with crime prevention through environmental design principles to ensure appropriate amenity and safety are retained or achieved. Measures to achieve this may include: a_.
Utiiising permeable balustrades on overbridges;
Q
Maximising the width of the footpath at grade in street reserves;
Q
Orientating any steps parallel to overbridges;
Q
Providing appropriate ievels of lighting (in accordance with the Auckland Transport Street Lighting Policy (Appendix 1) for "Pathways in high risk, high brightness areas”); and
3';
Treatment of the sides of ramps and footpaths to enhance visual amenity.
(5)
Grade separated rail crossings — Permeable balustracies on overbridges should be required not only for crime prevention purposes but to enable views into the neighbouring sites. For clarity all balustrades comprised within Normanby Road grade separation works (as defined in condition 30.1(l) shail be permeable inciuding without limitation the ramp to be constructed into the site at 32 Normanby Road.
V (c) Public Reaim and Landscape~ (i) Existing Streetscape m Structures of the CRL should be designed to respect and contribute positively to the form and function of existing public open space. (ii) Universal Access — Station environments should promote universal access (e.g. footpath ramps and smooth ground surfaces).
(iii) Safe Environments —Structures resulting from the CRL should promote safe environments. The station entrances should release patrons into safe public spaces that are weli lit at night, overlooked by other users (e.g. residents or
workers) and have sufficiently wide and unobstructed footpaths. (iv) Reinstated Surfaces — The design and construction of reinstated streetscapes should be coherent with the wider area and/or recent public realm upgrades in the area. (V) Station Piazas — The design and construction of station plazas should be coherent with the wider area and/or recent public realm upgrades in the area. (vi) Public Art — integration of art and design should foster local identity and character and reflect and/or interpret local characteristics including natural
heritage and Mana Whenua cultural narratives, history, art and particuiar traits
of the local community. (vii) Landscape Planting— Plant species used in station environments and/or as part of landscape plantings should consider the opportunity to acknowledge the area's pre—human ecology as and where appropriate. This may include species which connect strongiy with Mana Whenua cultural narratives.

AN1
It is unlawful to modify or destroy a pre-1900 (or post -1900 archaeological site declared under s43 of the HNZPT Act 2014) archaeological site without the prior authority of HNZPT issued under the HNZPT Act 2014. That authority will include a comprehensive set of conditions in respect of the management, monitoring, recording, investigation, analysis and reporting of archaeological evidence that may be encountered. The HNZPTA 2014 also requires that approval is sought of persons nominated to undertake the activity under an authority. Requirements under the HNZPTA should be confirmed directly with Heritage New Zealand Regional Archaeologist (ArchaeologistMN@heritage.org.nz). In the event of unanticipated archaeological sites or koiwi being uncovered the Requiring Authority shall cease activity in the vicinity until it has the relevant approvals, and consulted with Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga and relevant iwi interests.
AN2
The Requiring Authority will need to acquire the relevant property interests in land subject to the designation before it undertakes any works on that land pursuant to the designation. That may include a formal Public Works Act 1981 acquisition process. It is acknowledged that property rights issues are separate from resource management effects issues and that the resolution of property issues may be subject to confidentiality agreements between the Requiring Authority and the relevant landowners.

Prior to construction if Network Utility Operators are carrying out works that do not require prior written consent of the Requiring Authority in accordance with condition 6 of this designation, they must carry out those works in accordance with the Corridor Access Request (CAR) Process (as set out in Part 4 of the National Code of Practice for Utility Operators’ Access to Transport Corridors 2011) where that process applies to the works being carried out.
AN4
Subject to these conditions, under section 176 of the RMA no person may do anything in relation to the land subject to the designation that would prevent or hinder the Project without the written approval of the Requiring Authority.
AN5
Some of the land is subject to existing designations. Nothing in these designation conditions negates the need for the Requiring Authority to adhere to the provisions of section 177 of the RMA.
AN6
Tyler and Galway Streets and Construction Support Area B are located within the footprint of CRL Designation 1 and as such are subject to condition 47 of that designation. This condition requires the development of an Urban Design Delivery Work Plan to ensure that the areas within the designation footprint used during the construction of the CRL are restored.

the RMA. The further information was uploaded onto the Council website alongside the original application material for review and consideration by submitters. This information was available for viewing on the Council website from 2 June 2015. THE PROPOSAL, THE SITE, AND BACKGROUND The Proposal 14. The resource consent package (called Package 1) applied for includes resource consent applications associated with the construction of the CRL infrastructure from the existing Britomart Station to a point just south of the Wyndham and Albert Streets intersection in Auckland City. This includes resource consents for the following matters:
earthworks, including within a heritage overlay and within an identified floodplain;
activities in and on contaminated land, including under the National Environmental Standard for Assessing and Managing Contaminants in Soil to Protect Human Health;
groundwater take and diversion;
air discharges; and
various discharges to land or water.
15. The operational resource consents that are required for the operation of the CRL will be applied for as part of Resource Consent Package 2 (as defined at paragraphs 27 and 28 of this report). 16. The Britomart Station to Wyndham Street section includes the following construction works:
cut and cover tunnels from Britomart Station to a point just south of the Albert and Wyndham Streets intersection (approximately 610m in total length);
underpinning of the Chief Post Office (CPO) building;
excavating tunnels that extend into Queen Elizabeth II Square (QE2S) and the Downtown Shopping Centre Site; and
excavating tunnels across Customs Street West and along Albert Street to Wyndham Street.
17. The applicant has divided the proposed construction work into five distinct Active Construction Zones (ACZs), labelled A-E. In addition, six Construction Support Areas (CSAs) are required, labelled 1-6. The CSAs will provide for general activities such as site offices, machinery, parking, construction material storage, wheel washing areas and waste storage and collection.

Site, locality, catchment and environs description 19. The applicant has provided a description of the site, locality, catchment and surrounding environment in the AEE report. 20. In summary, the proposed works are within Auckland’s Central Business District which is a highly modified, intensely developed urban environment. The surrounding land uses include high density office buildings, residential and visitor accommodation, retail, restaurants and bars. As such, the area is highly pedestrianised and is classified as a pedestrian orientated area in the Auckland Council District Plan - Central Area Section 2005. 21. The CRL route in this area has a sloping alignment from north to south, with Albert Street located on the edge of the Queen Street valley and near the ridgeline of Hobson Street. As such, adjoining streets (such as Swanson Street and Wyndham Street) that run down the valley slopes to Queen Street are relatively steep. Britomart Station is located on the route’s lowest point, approximately eight metres below sea level. There are various flood hazards that traverse the works sites, including the CSAs.

Background CRL Notices of Requirement (NoRs) 22. AT gave notice on 23 August 2013 to Auckland Council of its requirement to designate land in the Auckland Council District Plan (Operative Auckland City Central Area Section and Operative Auckland City Isthmus Section) for the construction, operation and maintenance of the CRL. A total of six NoRs were publicly notified on 25 January 2013 and submissions closed on 19th March 2013. 23. The hearing for the six NoRs was held between August and November 2013. In March 2014 the independent commissioners who heard submissions recommended that the designations be confirmed subject to a range of conditions. There were six appeals lodged and the one outstanding appeal was heard in the Environment Court in June 2015. Contractor Procurement Process 24. AT is progressing an Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) procurement process in relation to the CRL construction works for the Britomart to Wyndham section. The ECI procurement is broken into two packages known as Enabling Works Contract 1 and Contract 2. The construction of the proposed works that are the subject of this report falls within both Contracts 1 and 2. In more detail:
Contract 1 – includes the building modification works at the western end of Britomart Station, underpinning of the CPO building, and the construction of tunnels and a reinstated pedestrian subway that extends into QE2S.
Contract 2 – includes the cut and cover works from the Customs Street West/Albert Street intersection up to Wyndham Street. This contract also includes a major stormwater diversion between Wellesley Street and Swanson Street, labelled the Albert Street Stormwater Main Realignment.
Britomart Station Designation 25. AT lodged an alteration to the Britomart Transport Centre Designation 314 on 29 May 2015. This alteration includes specific conditions that will apply to the construction and modifications associated with the CRL and ongoing operation and maintenance of the transit centre described in the Auckland Council District Plan (Operative Auckland City Central Area Section) as the Britomart Transport Centre. 26. AT has confirmed that the works being proposed to support the alteration to designation are consistent with those proposed as part of this application. Other consents Resource Consent Package 2 – Aotea Station to the North Auckland Line (NAL) 27.

Discharge permits (s15) – R/REG/2014/5437 ACRP:ALW
While the applicant has stated that it is their intention to manage the works to ensure compliance with the permitted activity rule standards (Rule 4.5.49), because of the very close proximity and high sensitivity of the receiving environment the applicant has applied for a restricted discretionary resource consent is required pursuant to Rule 4.5.56 of the ACRP:ALW.
PAUP
While the applicant has stated that it is their intention to manage the works to ensure compliance with the permitted activity rule standards (section H.4.1.3.1.1), because of the very close proximity and high sensitivity of the receiving environment the applicant has applied for a restricted discretionary resource consent is required pursuant to Rule H.4.1.1 (activity table) of the PAUP.
33. The proposal involves multiple resource consents under different plans. In this instance the consents required are either controlled, restricted discretionary or discretionary. Where there is an overlap between the consents and / or the effects of the activities, so that consideration of one could affect the outcome of another, the appropriate practice is to treat the applications together. The applicant has applied for the relevant resource consents, required under both the operative plans and the proposed plan, together as a ‘bundled’ application and Council is considering the applications in the same holistic manner. Overall the proposal has been considered as a discretionary activity.

Weighting 41. The Commissioners agree with the reporting planner that as the Project is not contrary to the objectives and policies under both the operative plans and the proposed plan. And as the outcomes are the same under the operative and the proposed plan frameworks, no weighting is necessary. Summary of evidence heard 42. The Council planning officer’s recommendation report was circulated prior to the hearing and taken as read. 43. The evidence presented at the hearing responded to the issues and concerns identified in the Council’s section 42A report, the application itself and the submissions made on the application. Applicant 44. The evidence presented by the applicant at the hearing is summarised below, including legal submissions presented by Mr Beatson which addressed the following:
Confirmation that the current application seeks resource consents for construction of the Britomart to Wyndham Street section of the CRL (the Project) and that consents for the remainder of the CRL from Wyndham Street to the North Auckland Line at Mt Eden Station are due to be lodged in late 2015.
The key issues, being groundwater and settlement effects, and the impact that those effects will have on surrounding buildings; and the use of alert, alarm and stop work levels to ensure that no more than ‘slight’ damage will be caused to buildings (as defined by Burland).
The proposal to engage an independent buildings specialist to assist in determining and avoiding damage to buildings caused by settlement.
The need for the CRL; construction sequencing in the five active construction zones (ACZs); and the key effects of the consent package.
A response to the Council section 42A report, and in particular the degree of conservatism applied in predicting groundwater and settlement effects; the adaptive management technique and the ability to rely on conditions.
A response to submissions and statutory matters, including Part 2.
All the expert evidence of the applicant had been pre-read by the Commissioners, enabling the applicant’s witnesses to summarise their statements and respond to questions. Scott Elwarth, AT’s Construction Manager, advised that the cut and cover construction of this section of the CRL is critical to the Project; that the proposed strategy of CRL enabling works contracts will mitigate disruption and enable other developments to proceed; and completing the enabling works ahead of other planned projects will avoid disruption to newly established operations and potential damage to newly built infrastructure. City Rail Link Application Nos.: R/REG/2014/5430, R/LUC/2014/5428, R/REG/2014/5432, R/REG/2014/5435, R/REG/2014/5436, R/REG/2014/5437

Colin Ingoe, of AT’s Infrastructure Division, observed that the rationale for the adopted CRL consenting strategy is robust and appropriate to enable the CRL Project, and outlined the consultation and engagement undertaken, stating that it was appropriate, given the scale and nature of the Project. Bill Newns, Chartered Engineer, presented three statements
In the first statement, relating to design and construction, Mr Newns summarised the proposed works and construction methodology – engineering design and indicative construction methodologies including work site and construction support area locations and activities, design constraints and alternatives considered, and an indicative construction programme, referring to a draft Erosion and Sediment Control Management Plan and the draft Environmental Management Plan.
In his second statement, Mr Newns commented on ground settlement matters - the technical assessment methodology, settlement estimates, assessment of the effects on utilities, roads and infrastructure, monitoring and contingency measures, and proposed conditions, concluding that “Whilst adverse construction effects and in particular ‘damage’ can and should be mitigated as far as reasonably practicable, they cannot in all instances be subject to a requirement that they be avoided as there are always elements of uncertainty in geotechnical engineering and the costs of ‘avoiding’ the potential effects may be disproportionate to the costs of rectification. Very few of the buildings along the CRL Enabling Works corridor are subject to these very small risks ….In the most unlikely event of such risks occurring, and where it is demonstrated to be a result of the works …. Such damage will in all cases be repaired by 1 AT. ”
In his supplementary statement of evidence, Mr Newns updated the position following further discussions with AC and responses to submitters, concluding that “The potential effects of settlement associated with the construction of the Britomart Station to Wyndham Street section of the City Rail Link will be less than minor and are able to be 2 managed through the conditions proposed. ”
Alan Pattle, an engineer with a recognised speciality in water resources (including groundwater flow) and environmental engineering, addressed groundwater issues, conditions and effects, expected cumulative impacts of the Project with the Downtown Shopping Centre Re-development, conditions and other relevant matters. He advised that groundwater levels would be monitored and alert trigger levels established to provide a check that the measured levels are within modelled predictions, noting that groundwater response is an indicator of potential ground settlement. Eric Stevenson, Structural Engineer, provided two statements of evidence:
1 2
In the first, he addressed the combined potential adverse effects on building structures associated with construction excavation induced settlement along the tunnel alignment and advised that potential adverse effects on buildings can be avoided by good design and workmanship; implementation of pre-construction building assessments; and construction phase monitoring of buildings. If any adverse

17
effects do occur, in Mr Stevenson’s opinion, these would be acceptable, in terms of being negligible to slight, with regard to potential structural damage to all the buildings within the Project’s zone of influence. That is, any damage would only be of a superficial or aesthetic nature.
In his supplementary statement of evidence, Mr Stevenson updated his evidence in chief and provided a memorandum setting out building settlement assessment calculations. He confirmed his opinion that the potential effects of excavation-induced mechanical settlement and settlement resulting from consolidation of the soil due to groundwater drawdown on built structures would generally be acceptable and able to be managed through conditions, detailed design and construction.
Bruce Petry, Heritage and Conservation Architect, advised that the potential construction effects on heritage values of identified scheduled buildings will be minor; and confirmed that any potential effects on identified built heritage resulting from ground settlement could be appropriately managed through monitoring and mitigation measures, including pre- and post-condition surveys, and the rectification of any damage. Andrew Hart, Senior Environmental Scientist, provided evidence on the assessment and management of contaminated land in the Project area. Key findings of his evidence were that there are potential contamination effects associated with proposed soil disturbance; and that mitigation of these effects can be achieved through excavation and disposal methods, and by following the relevant management plan. Richard Chilton, Senior Air Quality Scientist, noted that without mitigation, the Project has the potential to generate offensive or objectionable dust effects in the sensitive receiving environment; but that with the proposed mitigation and monitoring effectively implemented, these effects will be no more than minor. Sarah Sutherland, Senior Environmental Scientist, addressed water management aspects of the Project, identifying stormwater runoff discharge measures from the CSAs to the stormwater system, and that all water generated within the ACZs will be collected and treated onsite prior to discharge to the stormwater system. Jennifer Carvill, Planner and Resource Management Consultant, provided two statements of evidence:
In the first, Ms Carvill gave comprehensive evidence of the proposal, the existing environment, reasons for consent, assessment of effects, the statutory assessment, a response to submissions and the Council section 42A report, and then discussed the proposed conditions. Ms Carvill found that the Project is consistent with relevant objectives and policies; that any adverse effects can be appropriately avoided, remedied or mitigated; and that the Project is in accordance with Part 2 of the RMA. Ms Carvill provided a set of conditions and identified those areas in respect of which discussions with relevant Council officers were ongoing.
In her supplementary statement, Ms Carvill updated her evidence in chief in relation to conditions of consent.

Submitters 45. The evidence presented by the submitters at the hearing is summarised below. Duncan McKenzie, Heritage Advisor Planning, for Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga, provided a statement of evidence relating to effects on heritage buildings and archaeology, and further notes dated 7 July 2015. Mr McKenzie spoke to his written evidence at the hearing and responded to questions from the Hearing Panel. . Mr McKenzie confirmed that Heritage New Zealand’s concerns relating to built heritage are met to the extent that he has no further concerns, and that given the archaeological authority sought by the applicant, no accidental discovery protocols would be required. Mr McKenzie did request that the project take the opportunity to provide public education on the history of the site and any archaeological material identified or recovered during the works. Richard Brabant, Legal Counsel, appeared for 152 Quay Street (Harbour View Building) Body Corporate 107678; 148 Quay Street Body Corporate 164980; and Pandy Hotel Corporation (building owner of the hotel building on the corner of Custom and Queen Streets). He expressed his clients’ concerns relating to ground settlement and commented on conditions of consent. Gavin Alexander, Technical Director Beca, provided two statements of evidence in support of Mr Brabant’s clients:
In his first statement, Mr Alexander addressed the buildings at 148 Quay Street, 152 Quay Street and 2-8 Customs Street, all in the vicinity of the CPO and Lower Queen Street (LQS) portion of the CRL Project. Mr Alexander expected these structures to be relatively resistant to the effects of settlement occurring in the soils overlying the Waitemata Group rock at this location. However, he did express reservations regarding the level of certainty inherent in the applicant’s groundwater drawdown predictions. Mr Alexander promoted the inclusion of alarm and stop-work limits for groundwater drawdown, in addition to the applicant’s proposed triggers for ground settlement.
His supplementary statement responded to Mr Newns’ supplementary statement and commented on updated conditions following discussions held with the applicant’s team.
Noel Playle and Gordon Nelson appeared for the Endeans’ Building, Body Corporate 095035, 2 Queen Street, noting their concerns and the lack of consultation with the applicant in respect of their heritage building. Mr Playle stressed the building’s age (100 years’ old) and the recent substantial repair and upgrade that had been carried out. He raised issues relating to access to the building during construction; noise levels and hours of operation; dust, safety and security. Mr Nelson provided details of the building’s construction and foundation piles, raising concerns about construction-related settlement, particularly given the recent building upgrade to a high standard. Noise was also raised as an issue. Mr Nelson also sought certainty that access would be maintained to complete the building maintenance works that must be completed within the CRL construction period.

19
The applicant and the submitters took the opportunity during the hearing to remedy the perceived lack of consultation and the airing of the submitters’ concerns was taken on board by the applicant. Amanda Stoltz, Legal Counsel, appeared on behalf of the Stamford Residences’ Owners Corporation, 22-26 Albert Street. Her client sought a site-specific management plan for the property or alternative conditions to address her client’s concerns through the proposed Construction Environmental Management Plan and the Groundwater and Settlement Monitoring and Contingency Plan. Air discharge concerns were also raised. Vicki Morrison-Shaw, Legal Counsel, appeared for Cooper and Company NZ, identifying that her client’s key remaining areas of concern related to other approvals necessary; affected party liaison group; review and groundwater / settlement. Vijay Lala, resource management planning consultant, gave evidence in support of Ms Morrison-Shaw’s client. Mr Lala advised that subject to the adoption of Council’s recommended conditions, and the submitter’s concerns identified by Counsel being adequately addressed through conditions, potential adverse effects could be avoided, remedied or mitigated. Trevor Wilkinson, who resides in the Quay West Apartments, Albert Street, tabled evidence seeking that his genuine concerns relating to health and safety are safeguarded. Catherine Reaburn, planning consultant, tabled evidence on behalf of Precinct Properties Ltd (which has an interest in 1, 7 and 21 Queen Street and 23 Albert Street and did not appear at the hearing. Ms Reaburn expressed support for the Council’s recommended conditions in relation to construction management and groundwater monitoring and contingency. 46. For the Council, Mr Gysberts advised that discussions with the applicant and interested submitters was ongoing and useful, resulting in refinements to the conditions. 47. Following Mr Beatson’s partial right of reply, the hearing was adjourned as at midday on Wednesday 8 July 2015, to provide the opportunity for discourse between the parties attending the hearing regarding the draft conditions. 48. Subsequent to the hearing, AT and AC officers met and agreed on a draft set of conditions, which was forwarded to all parties attending the hearing for comment by Friday 10 June 2015. 49. Feedback was received, and the Commissioners then met on Tuesday 28 July 2015 to consider the latest set of conditions and the feedback from various submitters. Following that meeting, they determined that they had sufficient information to close the hearing and the hearing was declared closed on 29 July 2015. PRINCIPAL ISSUES IN CONTENTION 50. The parties were in agreement over most aspects of the Project and no party appearing at the hearing was opposed to the Project occurring, subject to appropriate conditions.

51. At the commencement of the hearing, Auckland Council had held reservations about the applicability of the Burland Stage 2 method for the calculation of tensile strain, and as a consequence expressed uncertainty regarding the reliability of the predicted actual and potential effects on buildings and services. At that time, Auckland Council was not satisfied that building damage would be limited to the ‘slight’ (Burland Class 2) category, based on the information provided by the applicant. 52. However, and as noted above, parties took the opportunity during the hearing to conduct parallel, side-bar discussions on matters of concern and the wording of conditions to address those concerns. As a result, the Commissioners were presented with an agreed set of conditions with which to work. Consequently, in addition to the broader considerations under the RMA and the relevant planning documents, our attention was focused on:
The extent of actual or potential adverse effects on the environment and whether these effects can be avoided, remedied or mitigated to be minor, or avoided or mitigated to an acceptable level;
Whether the various management plans proposed would effectively address the matters of concern; and
The wording of the agreed conditions.
53. We comment on these principal issues below in the discussion on adverse effects FINDINGS ON PRINCIPAL ISSUES – ADVERSE EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT What is the ‘environment’ for the purposes of considering the actual and potential adverse effects of the proposal? 54. The existing environment comprises a busy, high-density built-up urban area with a range of land uses and including busy traffic routes and heritage buildings. The land uses are all sensitive to varying degrees to the potential effects associated with the proposed construction works, including traffic disruption, noise and vibration. Effects that must be disregarded Any effect on a person who has given written approval to the application No person has given their written approval to the application. Trade competition There are no trade competition effects that must be disregarded. Effects that may be disregarded – Permitted Baseline assessment 55. The permitted baseline approach, which refers to permitted activities on the subject site, is of limited value for this application, and the Commissioners have not relied on it to discount adverse effects from permitted activities. However AT’s applications for CoCs for various aspects of the Project do constitute the permitted baseline for this project.

Assessment of Effects Positive Effects 56. In the AEE, the applicant identified potential positive effects that will result from the Project as well as the broader positive effects from the wider CRL project. The Commissioners agree with the applicant’s assessment of positive effects. Effects from Earthworks 57. The proposal is for approximately 143,000m3 of cut and 82,000m3 of fill along the route, over a cumulative area of approximately 11,000m2. The main methods of sediment and erosion control include clean water diversions, settlement tanks, stormwater inlet protection, chemical treatment and progressive stabilisation. The immediate receiving environment for any generated runoff will be to the stormwater network and subsequently the Waitemata Harbour, discharging near the ferry terminal. All of these methods are in accordance with the industry best practice and Auckland Council’s Technical Publication 90 – Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines for Land Disturbing Activities in the Auckland Region (TP90). 58. We accept that the applicant’s assessment and evidence adequately identify the potential adverse effects resulting from the earthworks and that the proposed mitigation measures are appropriate given the relatively small volume and area of earthworks and the receiving environment. 59. The final Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) will be submitted to Council for certification prior to any earthworks commencing as part of the overall Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP). This will be supported by a Chemical Treatment Management Plan (CTMP) that will outline the procedures for chemically flocculating sediment laden water prior to being discharged from the site. We agree with the Council’s specialist for earthworks, Stephanie Benucci, that subject to the measures included in these plans being implemented correctly, adverse effects relating to the discharge of treated sediment laden water from the proposed earthworks will not be significant and will be appropriately mitigated. We find the adverse effects from earthworks on the environment will be minor. 60. We note that the conditions provided to us, as agreed between the applicant and Auckland Council, could better reflect the degree of integration necessary between the ESCP, the CTMP and the Contaminated Soils Management Plan (CSMP). Consequently, we have made minor changes to those conditions to reflect the inter-related function of those management plans. Effects on Existing Flood Plains 61. Relatively small, isolated areas of 1% AEP flood plain (localised ponding) are identified at several locations along the proposed route, as denoted on the PAUP maps. Works within these areas trigger restricted discretionary activity rule infringement under Chapter H4.2 of the PAUP. Potential adverse effects from flooding were not raised by submitters and we accept the assessment by Council’s specialist, Scott Paton, that finished levels around the shafts will be City Rail Link Application Nos.: R/REG/2014/5430, R/LUC/2014/5428, R/REG/2014/5432, R/REG/2014/5435, R/REG/2014/5436, R/REG/2014/5437
22
similar to the pre-existing condition and will not alter floodwater characteristics. We find that the works will not have an adverse effect on flooding within or beyond the site. Air Quality Effects 62. Air quality effects from the potential discharges of contaminants to air from construction and earthworks associated with the Project were assessed by Paul Crimmins, Senior Consents and Compliance Advisor, Air Quality Team in AC’s Natural Resources and Specialist Input Unit. 63. Mr Crimmins concurred with the applicant that any potential dust effects can be adequately mitigated through the Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) so that adverse effects arising from these discharges are not significant. 64. We accept the unanimous opinion of the experts that the mitigation measures proposed in the draft AQMP – including the monitoring regime – represent the Best Practicable Option (BPO) for minimising discharges of contaminants to air, in particular, the most significant contaminant, which is dust. 65. Any odorous discharges which may arise from excavations, particularly if soils which have been contaminated by hydrocarbons are encountered, will be addressed through a specific Contaminated Soils Management Plan (CSMP). Cultural Effects 66. The Cultural Impact Assessment (“CIA”) information requirement in the PAUP is triggered by the proposal, in order for Council to assess the adverse effects on Mana Whenua values. Whilst AT’s engagement with Manu Whenua groups has been appropriate, no CIAs have been prepared to date. 67. One submission was received from Mana Whenua, being Ngāti Maru, but to date, no determination has been provided to Council as to whether Ngāti Maru wishes to prepare and submit a CIA. The issues raised are that the proposal compromises the interests of Ngāti Maru protected by the RMA and that the consultation on the proposal is incomplete. The Commissioners reject the latter issue, as we find that the consultation undertaken to date by the applicant has been thorough and extensive. 68. The applicant has emphasised the areas where Mana Whenua interest relating to this project has been identified, being earthworks, stormwater and groundwater and the corresponding discharges to the environment; the protection of the Hauraki Gulf from contaminants such as stormwater; and improving water quality outcomes in the catchment. We are satisfied that the applicant is proposing to use best practice methods to ensure the receiving environment is not compromised by the proposed discharges. 69. The Commissioners accept that the actual and potential effects on cultural values have been adequately addressed.

Contaminated Land Discharge Effects 70. The effects from the discharge of contaminants to land and water from the disturbance of contaminated land have been addressed in the evidence of Andrew Hart and Sarah Sutherland and covered in the draft Contaminated Soils Management Plan (CSMP), which provides management procedures and measures relevant to handling and disposal of contaminated material to mitigate potential adverse effects on the environment and human health. The measures include erosion and sediment controls, measures for monitoring groundwater quality and alternative disposal procedures, and procedures for the excavation, handling and disposal of contaminated and potentially contaminated soil. These details have been assessed by the Council’s in-house expert for contaminated land, Andrew Kalbarczyk and consultant expert Rob Burden, who have reported that with implementation of the CSMP, adverse effects can be appropriately mitigated and managed. Only one submission was received on these matters, that being from the Auckland Regional Public Health Service. Mr Burden is satisfied that the proposed conditions will adequately address the matters raised in that submission. 71. The Commissioners agree with Mr Kalbarczyk and Mr Burden, and the evidence presented on behalf of the applicant. Given the concentrations of contaminants are low and are isolated occurrences, the proposed mitigation measures will appropriately address excavation and disposal of soil and groundwater. The submission of the final CSMP as part of the overall CEMP for certification by Council, and its implementation, will ensure that the adverse effects on the environment from the disturbance and handling of potentially contaminated soil and groundwater will be minor. Again, we have made minor changes to the agreed conditions to better link the CSMP with the ESCP. Effects from the Discharge of Wastewater and/or Washwater on Water Quality 72. The effects from the discharge of wastewater and/or washwater to land and water during construction have been assessed. There are a number of potential sources of water that require management during construction, and in addition to the treatment of discharges, source controls are proposed to reduce sediment loadings in the discharge. The use of an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) will manage the CSAs, ensuring that structural controls are installed and implemented. 73. The applicant proposes an ongoing monitoring regime to ensure that the anticipated water quality standards are met and has included options if limits are exceeded. 74. The Commissioners accept that given the proposed site and wastewater and/or washwater management measures, any adverse effects of the proposed discharge activity on the environment will be less than minor.

24
Transport Network Effects 75. The Commissioners have adopted the view that construction related effects on the transport network associated with the earthworks activity is a matter that should be considered. 76. Through the assessment of the NoRs, the effects from construction traffic associated with the proposal were assessed and it was found that adverse temporary effects to the existing road transport network and property accesses during the construction of the CRL will be significant; that the establishment of various construction areas will generate additional traffic in the form of construction vehicles; and that the level of service on the Quality Transit Network in the City Centre can be expected to be low to moderate. 77. The actual and potential construction related effects on the transport network were assessed under the NoRs and various conditions were subsequently confirmed by AT. The Commissioners accept that the construction traffic related conditions for the NoRs are generally appropriate to avoid, remedy or mitigate the actual and potential effects from construction traffic. Specifically, the Transport, Access and Parking Delivery Work Package, monitoring requirements, the specific requirements for the Britomart Station to Mayoral Drive section and the communication and consultation requirements required in the confirmed conditions will achieve this outcome. Construction Noise Effects 78. Construction noise is a district plan land use matter and has been addressed through the NoR process; however, as it is currently drafted, the PAUP suggests that construction noise effects associated with the earthworks activity is a matter that should be considered by Council. 79. The actual and potential construction noise effects were assessed by an independent Hearing Panel for the NoRs and various conditions were recommended and subsequently confirmed by AT. The confirmed conditions seek to avoid, remedy or mitigate specific construction noise effects and include specific construction noise project standards for various construction activities and for various types of receivers. A Site Specific Construction Noise Management Plan (SSCNMP) must be developed in specified circumstances and a Construction Noise and Vibration Delivery Work Package (CNVDWP) must also be submitted to Council. 80. Whilst various submitters have raised concerns with respect to construction noise, the Commissioners accept that the condition framework in the CRL NoRs appropriately avoids, remedies or mitigates the adverse construction noise effects from the proposal. Effects on Utilities 81. The applicant has identified the existing services in the project area and the Council’s assessment is that any effects from ground settlement can be avoided, City Rail Link Application Nos.: R/REG/2014/5430, R/LUC/2014/5428, R/REG/2014/5432, R/REG/2014/5435, R/REG/2014/5436, R/REG/2014/5437
25
remedied or mitigated subject to the recommended conditions of consent. Damage can also result from uncovering services in unknown locations but such events can be managed by ensuring contact with utility operators and suitable measures being taken to ensure that services are adequately supported or managed once exposed. 82. On that basis we agree that any adverse effects on existing infrastructure will be appropriately managed so that the effects will be minor. Dewatering/settlement, takes and diversion of groundwater 83. Potential settlement effects on buildings, structures and utilities is a key matter raised in submissions and was the main point of conjecture between the applicant and Auckland Council at the commencement of the hearing, noting that those parties have subsequently agreed on all recommended conditions. 84. In brief, technical reports and evidence relating to the potential effects of the proposal on buildings, other structures and services was focussed on the following elements:
The extent to which groundwater levels will be altered during excavation and post excavation;
The likely ground response (consolidation and mechanical settlement) that will occur as a result of groundwater changes; and
The potential effects that ground responses will have on various buildings in the vicinity of the works.
85. Leading into the hearing, Auckland Council indicated acceptance of the Burland Stage 1 method for categorising levels of effects of ground settlement on buildings. However, it expressed concern about the application of the Burland Stage 2 method for the calculation of tensile strain, and consequently held uncertainty on the likely actual and potential effects on buildings and services. At that time the Auckland Council was not satisfied that building damage would be limited to the ‘slight’ (Burland Class 2) category, based on the information provided by the applicant. 86. Submitters representing building owners along the route could be grouped into those within the predicted settlement contours, and those immediately beyond those contours. The former included buildings along Albert Street (including Stamford Residences represented by Ms Stoltz), the Precinct Properties Building at 23 Albert Street and 7 Queen Street (addressed by Ms Reaburn), and the Chief Post Office Building (CPO) leased by Cooper & Co (addressed by Mr Lala and represented by Ms Morrison-Shaw). The latter groups include the body corporates represented by Mr Brabant, the Endeans Building (represented by Messrs Playle and Nelson), and the Precinct Properties buildings at 1 and 21 Queen St (addressed by Ms Reaburn).

87. For submitters, those within the predicted settlement contours sought assurance that effects would be within the predicted range (no more than ‘slight’ on the Burland scale), and that an appropriate extent and duration of monitoring, and responses to repair effects would be undertaken. 88. Submitters representing owners of buildings outside the predicted settlement contours sought assurance that the effects of the works would be no more than ‘negligible’ on the Burland scale, and that an appropriate extent and duration of monitoring, and response would be undertaken. Those submitters sought a clear separation in consent conditions between their properties and those within the predicted settlement contours. 89. The predicted building responses were influenced by the variability of ground conditions along the route as well as the foundation conditions of various buildings, with newer buildings being founded on unweathered East Coast Bays Formation (ECBF) rock. 90. The final set of conditions presented to us during the adjournment provided an agreed position between the Auckland Council and the applicant. They also accommodated many changes sought by submitters. In summary, those conditions:
Distinguish between buildings inside and outside the predicted settlement contours;
Include identified buildings located outside the predicted settlement contours in the list of buildings to be subject to pre-construction surveys and to be monitored during and post-construction (Appendix 1).
Include specific building movement alarm and trigger levels for the identified buildings located outside the predicted settlement contours (Appendix 4).
Require that the project be monitored and managed to ensure that building damage within the predicted settlement contours does not exceed the “slight” category of Burland Class 2 (Condition 88).
Require that the project be monitored and managed to ensure that building damage outside the predicted settlement contours does not exceed the “negligible” category of the Burland Class 1 (Condition 88).
Provide additional building monitoring marks on 2-8 Customs Street (Mercure Hotel)
91. The applicant also included a detailed condition that specifically requires that any damage to buildings, structures or services that is caused wholly or in part by the exercising of the consent shall be remedied at the consent holder’s expense. 92. In considering the potential groundwater and settlement effects of the proposal, we must be satisfied that the predictions of settlement and effects on buildings presented to us is appropriately reliable and conservative to the extent that adverse effects are generally avoided and, where not avoided, within the predicted scale of effects that have been considered by submitters. City Rail Link Application Nos.: R/REG/2014/5430, R/LUC/2014/5428, R/REG/2014/5432, R/REG/2014/5435, R/REG/2014/5436, R/REG/2014/5437

93. Mr Pattle described additional modelling undertaken in response to Auckland Council feedback, and the level of conservatism he anticipated in the model outputs. He considered likely groundwater drawdowns and informed the predictions of consolidation of compressible soils provided by Mr Newns. Mr Pattle’s modelling was based on cut-off walls and soldier pile walls extending to the top of the un-weathered ECBF rock, and the cut-off walls under the CPO building extending 2m into the un-weathered ECBF. 94. With respect to Britomart Station and the CPO, he considered effects to be within the range experienced during the previous development of the Britomart Station and within seasonal variations, which provided a level of confidence regarding likely effects in that location. Continuous pile walls will be constructed in the vicinity of the CPO building and lower Queen Street, and a consent condition has been offered and included limiting groundwater egress in that area to “no visible seepage”. ACZA and sheet piles and temporary soldier pile walls are proposed along the route of the cut and cover tunnels for the Britomart Station to lower Albert Street. A condition has also been included to reinforce the requirement for temporary perimeter cut-off walls from the CPO to chainage 300m (lower Albert Street) to achieve no more than 0.3m3/day ingress (though the wall) of groundwater per 10m of wall. 95. Along Albert Street Mr Pattle predicts that the most significant groundwater changes will occur within the shallower, perched water tables in the upper horizons of soil and fill. These changes are predicted to be limited in lateral extent and will have been influenced by previous building construction. 96. Post-construction, Mr Pattle predicted that groundwater levels will return to the pre-construction state. 97. In addition to their evidence in chief, Messrs Newns and Stevenson provided supplementary evidence to address ground settlement predictions and building responses respectively. Mr Newns provided further background to the Burland method for assessing building damage risk. They both re-affirmed their confidence in the Burland method (Stage 1 and 2) as being appropriate for use in the context of this project. 98. Mr Stevenson explained the output of additional modelling undertaken that reassessed mechanical settlement effects utilising the method preferred by the Auckland Council technical reviewers. This modelling particularly sought to address the Auckland Council concerns regarding the predictions of tensile strain and subsequently suitability of Burland Stage 2. Mr Stevenson also reiterated and explained his confidence in his earlier modelling. Mr Stevenson and Mr Newns reported on a reassessment of consolidation settlement, based on revised data provided by Mr Pattle, and a reassessment of combined mechanical and consolidation induced settlements. These calculations indicated a potential increase in settlement predictions. However, Mr Stevenson reaffirmed that the predicted building damage within the predicted settlement contours would be no more than the ‘slight’ range under Burland Class 2, as originally predicted.

99. Mr Newns explained that the detailed design of the project will be subject to the building consent process, which will ensure that the design achieves the performance criteria of the resource consent conditions. Mr Hazard, on behalf of Auckland Council, confirmed that this process is successfully occurring on other infrastructure projects and expressed confidence that the appropriate level of integration between the resource consent compliance and building consent functions of the Council would be achieved in this instance. 100. A key element of the set of conditions now agreed between the applicant and Auckland Council is the linkage between imposed performance standards, the establishment and implementation of a Groundwater and Settlement Monitoring and Contingency Plan (“GSMCP”), pre-construction building condition assessments, ongoing building assessments (based on specific criteria), and responses to identified damage. Building inspections are to be undertaken by an independent senior qualified person, whose role will include inspecting and reporting on any identified damage that is attributable to the project, and methods to remedy such damage. The independent senior qualified person shall also assess and advise on mitigation measures that may be necessary to avoid damage in the event that ground or building monitoring alert levels are triggered. The role of the independent senior qualified person will be independent of, and will not diminish, the Auckland Council’s compliance monitoring and enforcement function. 101. We are now satisfied that the applicant has undertaken an appropriate level of investigation and has achieved the necessary level of certainty regarding the likely effects of the works, and how those effects will be minimised and mitigated. Further, we are satisfied that the agreed conditions provide an appropriate range of performance standards, monitoring and response processes that will ensure that the effects of the project remain within the predicted levels. We are also satisfied that the agreed conditions accommodate the matters sought by submitters to an appropriate extent, and correctly distinguish between the anticipated maximum building damage effects anticipated by submitters within, and outside, the predicted settlement contours. 102. Overall, we find that the groundwater, settlement and potential building damage effects from the project will be negligible to minor, and will be appropriately managed and mitigated through implementation of conditions. Effects from Earthworks on Built Heritage 103. The proposed works are within the Heritage Overlay for the CPO (12 Queen Street) and are also within close proximity of several other scheduled historic places. The applicant has provided a Built Heritage Risk Assessment Summary concerning each of these buildings, which have been assessed to fall within the “Negligible” to “Slight” damage classifications under the Burland damage classification categories which corresponds to aesthetic damage only. 104. As a result of strengthening work carried out on the CPO, and given the recommended conditions of consent, differential movement and settlement in this City Rail Link Application Nos.: R/REG/2014/5430, R/LUC/2014/5428, R/REG/2014/5432, R/REG/2014/5435, R/REG/2014/5436, R/REG/2014/5437

area is very unlikely; in addition, post-construction monitoring will be undertaken for a minimum of three months after completion of construction. 105. The Commissioners accept that the effects from the proposed earthworks on identified heritage buildings within 20m of the Heritage Overlay in the PAUP will be appropriately avoided, remedied or mitigated subject to the recommended consent conditions. 106. Specific heritage issues raised by submitters have been addressed by the applicant. Adverse Effects – Summary and Conclusion 107. In summary, construction of the Project will give rise to a range of temporary adverse environmental effects; some may be more than minor for a limited or longer period. However, when considered overall and in the context of their temporary nature, we agree that the revised and finalised conditions of consent agreed by the applicant, Council officers and those submitters present at the hearing, and, in particular the monitoring and mitigation measures, will ensure that actual and potential effects can be avoided, remedied or adequately mitigated. 108. In conclusion, we find that the actual and potential effects from this project, including dust, sediment, contamination, ground settlement, water quality, public health, built heritage effects from earthworks, construction traffic and noise effects are temporary in nature and can be avoided, remedied or mitigated through implementation of the consent conditions. 109. The positive effects from the proposal must not be overlooked, particularly realising the potential of the existing infrastructure and unlocking the Auckland rail network by enabling Britomart to become a through station rather than a terminus station. 110. The proposal has been assessed against the provisions of the relevant planning documents in the application details, in the section 42A report and in the evidence of Ms Carvill. In the latter statement it is pointed out the project requires resource consent pursuant to the following regional plans and unitary plan:
Auckland Council Regional Plan: Air, Land, Water 2013 (ACRP: ALW);
Auckland Council Regional Plan: Sediment Control 2001 (ACRP: SC);
Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan 2013 (PAUP).
111. In addition, resource consent is required pursuant to the Resource Management (National Environmental Standard for Assessing and Managing Contaminants and Soil to Protect Human Health) Regulations 2011 (NESSoil). The resource consents required are land use consents, water permits and discharge permits and, in addition, the land use consent pursuant to the NESSoil to disturb soil. 112. It is also relevant to note, as is covered in another part of this decision, that the area surrounding the project corridor is occupied by a number of identified heritage buildings that are potentially affected and works are also proposed within City Rail Link Application Nos.: R/REG/2014/5430, R/LUC/2014/5428, R/REG/2014/5432, R/REG/2014/5435, R/REG/2014/5436, R/REG/2014/5437

a scheduled historic heritage place (the Chief Post Office). Further, part of the project corridor runs through a scheduled site of significance to mana whenua (Ngahu Wera) and within 20m of another scheduled site of significance (Nga Wharau a Tako). 113. We note that in applying the most restrictive activity status, which was the common approach of the Council’s reporting officer and the expert witnesses at the hearing, that when bundled, the overall activity status for the resource consent applications is discretionary. 114. We find that the proposal is consistent with the above listed planning documents in providing for a public work with benefits to the City while also appropriately managing the potential adverse effects arising from its construction. The CRL benefits include: Increased train movements on the Auckland rail network by developing Britomart as a through station and unlocking the current capacity constraint. Improved commuter access to the city centre. Building on the benefits of existing investment in the electrification of Auckland’s rail network. Freeing up road space for freight and other trips. Creating new transport hubs around the underground railway stations with complementary opportunities for a range of land use activities. 115. The range of potential adverse effects arise out of earthworks, flooding, ground settlement and associated effects on heritage values, contaminated land, groundwater quality, stormwater quality, dust, and effects on cultural values. The evidence of the experts providing input to the project, and evidence provided by others, demonstrated to us that these potential effects can be appropriately managed. In particular, standard and specific mitigation measures will be implemented through a range of management plans, and remediation is proposed where necessary to address effects on structures resulting from ground settlement. 116. In all of the above respects, we find the application to be consistent with the relevant planning documents. Any other matters 117. We also considered the following other matters to be relevant and reasonably necessary to determine the application in accordance with section 104(1)(c) of the RMA: The Auckland Plan sets out the vision for Auckland over the next 30 years and seeks to address relevant issues. The Commissioners accept that the proposal to construct a piece of the CRL infrastructure directly supports the vision contained in the Auckland Plan to improve and complete the existing road and railway network.

Submissions have all been reviewed by the Commissioners and considered in the assessment of the Project. No comments were received from the Waitemata or the Albert-Eden Local Boards. The applicant has confirmed that an Archaeological Authority will be sought from Heritage NZ pursuant to the Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga Act 2014. Other relevant RMA provisions Matters relevant to discharge and coastal permits – s105 118. The proposal requires consents to discharge contaminants to air and to land and water under s15. Under section 105, regard must be had to additional matters for any application for a discharge permit or a coastal permit that would contravene s15 or s15B of the RMA. The Commissioners agree with the reporting planner that the proposal satisfies the matters set out in section 105 for the reasons set out in her report. Restrictions on discharge permits – s107 119. Regard must be had to the restriction on the granting of certain discharge permits that would contravene sections 15 or 15A. Section 107 states that a discharge permit cannot be granted to do something that would otherwise contravene section 15 allowing the discharge of a contaminant or water into water, if, after reasonable mixing, the contaminant or water discharged is likely to give rise to all or any of stated effects in the receiving waters. The Commissioners are satisfied that the proposal satisfies the provisions of section 107. Conditions of resource consents – s108 120. Conditions of consent have been set out below. PART 2 RMA – PURPOSE AND PRINCIPLES 121. We find that the proposal is consistent with Part 2 of the RMA because:
The completed CRL will provide for the social and economic wellbeing of people and communities in Auckland by improving transport access into and around the city centre, improving the efficiency and resilience of the transport network of urban Auckland, contributing to increasing Auckland’s economic growth and providing a sustainable transport solution that minimizes environmental impacts.
The conditions included as part of the consent will ensure the adverse effects on the environment will be appropriately avoided, remedied or mitigated. In particular, a range of construction mitigation measures will be implemented through an approved CEMP, along with a range of key management and monitoring plans.

The matters raised by submitters have been given particular attention through the discussion during the hearing regarding the inclusion of conditions of consent that have regard to submitters’ concerns.
There are no identified outstanding natural features and landscapes, areas of significant vegetation and significant habitats of indigenous fauna that must be protected in the project area.
The applicant has supplied a supporting Heritage Impact Assessment and additional information that has been reviewed by Council’s Principal, Built Heritage Specialist who has concluded that the potential effects on the scheduled structures will be minor subject to appropriate conditions of consent. We agree with that assessment and review and with the evidence presented for the applicant and Heritage New Zealand. Conditions are accordingly included as part of this decision and as such, the protection of historic heritage will be ensured.
The construction techniques and practices, coupled with conditions on the consent, will appropriately minimize potential and actual adverse effects on the environment. As such, the project represents an efficient use and development of natural and physical resources and serves to maintain and enhance both amenity values and the quality of the environment.
Given the extent of consultation undertaken with Mana Whenua, the requirements of sections 6(e), 7(a), 7(aa), and 8 of the RMA have been provided for and had regard to. In particular, there has been engagement with eight Mana Whenua groups who have self-identified an interest in the project and that engagement has been on-going via the CRL Mana Whenua Forum and targeted hui. Accidental discovery protocols and consent conditions will enable the relationship of Mana Whenua with any unidentified archaeological sites within the project site to occur. In addition, the applicant has stated that on-going consultation and engagement will continue through all stages of planning and construction.
Decision 122. In exercising our delegation under sections 34 and 34A of the RMA and having regard to the foregoing matters, sections 104, 104B, 105, 106, 107 and 108 and Part 2 of the RMA, we determine that the resource consents be granted subject to the conditions set out below. The resource consents granted by this decision are collectively a discretionary activity and provide for the construction of the Britomart Station to Wyndham Street section of the proposed City Rail Link. The respective resource consents are land use consents, water permits and discharge permits which are referenced as R/REG/2014/5430, R/LUC/2014/5428, R/REG/2014/5432, R/REG/2014/5435, R/REG/2014/5436 and R/REG/2014/543. The location is the lower part of the central business district of Auckland City comprising the Britomart Station and parts of Lower Queen Street, Customs Street West, Wolfe Street, Victoria Street West, Albert Street and Wyndham Street.

Reasons for the decision 123. The reasons for this decision are covered in the discussion above in this decision report but can be summarised as follows:
Overall, the proposal enables people to provide for their economic and, in turn, social wellbeing as the CRL will improve transport access into and around the city centre and improve the efficiency and resilience of the transport network of urban Auckland. It will therefore contribute to increasing Auckland’s economic growth and further, provide a sustainable transport solution that minimizes environmental impacts.
The effects associated with the project, including dust, sediment, contamination, settlement, water quality, earthworks with respect to heritage, construction, traffic, construction noise, utility disruption and flood capacity changes are found to be temporary in nature and can be appropriately avoided, remedied or mitigated through implementation of a certified CEMP. That includes the specific certified management plans and other conditions of the consent.
The particular concerns of submitters have been addressed through conditions of consent that address matters potentially impacting on identified properties.
The project has been found to not be contrary to the relevant provisions and policy statements, plans and proposed plans that are relevant and as prepared under the RMA.
The proposal has been assessed with regard to the relevant Part 2 matters and found to be consistent with the purpose and principles of the RMA as included as this part of it.

In Section 1.2 the objective has not been updated to reflect the final wording of the BTC condition 18.1. That wording put the words “so far as is reasonably practicable” at the end of the objective rather than the start. Not major but should be amended for consistency. This section also refers to the CEMP and sub-plans having been prepared in consultation with the relevant CRL CLG but it does not refer to BTC CLG – it should.

Section 2.2.4.4 states that the Square will be reinstated to the current standard following the removal of the temporary accommodation buildings. There is no reference to timing. Condition 3.2 states that the temporary accommodation has to be removed within one year of completion of the project works. A reference to this timeframe would be helpful to include. Also in conditions it is referred to as Station Plaza – may be less confusing to use the same terminology throughout the CEMP
Text updated to state that Station Plaza will be reinstated during Stage 4 of the Project and to reference the one year timeframe for the removal of the temporary accommodation from Station Plaza following the completion of Project works.
Section 2.7 states that for stages 2 – 4 the site office will be located on the upper floors of the CPO building. What will this involve? Will there be any risk of damage or wear and tear to the upper levels through having the site office located there?
Text updated to reflect that the site offices will only occupy level 1 of the CPO building and during stages 1- 4 of the Project. Establishment of site offices in the CPO building will be undertaken to ensure no damage to the CPO occurs. If unexpected damage does occur,

Table 2.7 only cites condition 28.3(b), however there are other conditions which also place restrictions on working hours and activities including condition 27.1, 27.2, 28.3(c), 24.6 and 24.13. A full check of the final conditions should be undertaken to make sure all relevant conditions are included.
Conditions have been updated to reflect Auckland Transport decision on the BTC designation. Table now includes conditions 27.1, 27.2, 28.3(c), 24.6 and 24.13.

Table 3.1 lists what businesses, residents, and other aspects of the environment likely to be affected by specific construction activities. Sensitive receptors are identified. It is not clear how these were determined to be sensitive. Further details required to ensure that effects on Cooper and Co and all Cooper and Co tenants have been identified and considered.
The sensitive receptors listed in Table 3.1 are identified based on the nature and scale of the construction activities and associated environmental effects, as outlined in the subplans to the CEMP. These parties have been identified as possible sensitive receptors as a result of the construction activities; the table will be reviewed and updated as required during construction to reflect actual effects from the Project and to capture additional parties if required. Table 3.1 has been updated to capture some additional parties, including additional buildings within the Britomart Precinct.

Table 3.3 Doesn’t note Traffic Bylaw – does it need to? The Table includes the national environmental standard for soil but then also states that consent has been obtained under section 3.2.3.2. As regional plans are not noted in the table suggest removing reference to the NES from the table and just leaving it to be mentioned in the resource consents section (3.2.3.2)

Section 5.1.2 States that piling and road cutting will be restricted to between 7am and 7pm to comply with condition 28.3(b). However, condition 28.3(b) refers to piling and “saw” cutting. Terminology used should be consistent. Also there is no reference to condition 28.3(c) which restricts the use of vibratory rolling and rock breaking during night time. Suggest this is included too.

General comments on DWP sections
The following comments are based solely on the information within the CEMP provided, which did not include the DWPS. For consistency these general comments apply to all the proposed DWPs, some sections may already cover some of them.

Comment
Response
Section 1.4 - Condition 20.1(e) “CEMP construction Works requirements”.
Addressing the storage of materials is stated to be in section 2.11 - this section of the CEMP appears to address rubbish, whereas the condition is aimed at storage of materials and plant to be used by the project.
Updated the condition table to refer to Section 2.4 Construction Support Areas which references the requirement for all storage of material and equipment associated with the construction works to take place within the boundaries of the CRL and BTC designations.
Section 2.5.1 – Bentonite Treatment Plant
What level of Total Poolable Potential will the secondary containment bunds be expected to hold
In line with regulations and the consent conditions, an effective bunded volume of 110% times the volume of the largest storage container will be provided. The bentonite plant is planned to have four 80m3 silos. Therefore an effective bunded volume of 88 m3 will be provided.
Will there be an alarm system to alert staff to unplanned discharge?
An alarm system is not considered necessary or practical in this case because: a) The provision of the containment bund; b) The provision of high level cut-off switches for the filling of the soils; and c) The regular checking of bunding and containment systems planned as part of the CEMP.
Measures should be taken to ensure that the changes of discharge from vandalism is minimised.

Plans showing location of network utilities impacted by the Project
NUO Consultation Summary The following table provides a summary of the consultation that has been undertaken between AT, the DSBJV and the respective NUOs in relation to the Project. Network Utility Operator Chorus telecommunications
Summary of Consultation Engagement Engagement (in the form of emails, phone calls, meetings and a workshop) has been undertaken with Bob Willering, Senior Delivery Specialist at Chorus, from December 2015 regarding impacts of the construction works on Chorus utilities located within or surrounding the Project area. Engagement Outcome The Chorus representative has confirmed: Chorus utilities located within Lower Queen Street will be impacted by Stage 3 of the Project and require removal and protection. New connections will be required for the temporary accommodation works (Stage 1 of the Project). Works to Chorus utilities will be undertaken in accordance with the Chorus Agreement Relating to the Movement of Infrastructure dated December 2015. In relation to the Lower Queen Street excavation, a Node to Node connection could be outside the designation boundaries, however any works to this connection could be undertaken via manhole access and would not require excavation works. Essentially, these works would be business as usual. At this point in time, Chorus will not need to work outside of the BTC or CRL designation boundaries in order to divert any cables that are affected by the construction work. Future Engagement Engagement with Chorus will remain on-going as the Project progresses.
Vector – power, gas and telecommunications
Engagement Engagement (in the form of emails, phone calls, meetings and a workshop) has been undertaken with the following Vector representatives from November 2015: Alec Christie, (Stakeholder Engagement - Programme & Projects) at Vector, regarding impacts of the construction works on Vector utilities located within or surrounding the Project area. Graeme Norton (Fibre Plant Specialist) at Vector Communications, regarding impacts of the construction works on Vector telecommunication utilities Mike Cribb, (Gas Service Project Manager) at Vector Gas, regarding impacts of the construction works on Vector Gas utilities. James Thatcher (Consultant to Vector) regarding on-going Project Management in relation to works to Vector utilities Dave Cox (Vector Consultant) at Vector, regarding all site liaison in relation to works to Vector utilities. Engagement Outcome Vector representatives have confirmed: Vector utilities located within Lower Queen Street will be impacted by Stage 3 of the Project and require removal and protection. At this point in time, Vector will not need to work outside of the BTC or CRL designation boundaries in order to divert any utilities that are affected by the construction work. However this will need to be checked in relation to the Vector telecommunications fibre. The Vector telecommunications fibre is installed inside a PE / PVC duct, which has been inserted into the cast iron pipe. It is envisaged that the cast iron main can be broken away over the open cut trench to allow the duct and fibre inside to be lifted and slewed for sheet
Network Utility Operator
Summary of Consultation piling works to proceed. To do this there will need to be slack in the cable in the Communications Pits in Queen Street and Tyler Street and this will need to be confirmed by lifting the lids on the pits to check. Responsibility for VE3 and VE4 (11kV (PILC) and LV cables) to be confirmed depending on the site boundary of the DSBJV and Precinct Properties works. It is likely a section of these cables be relocated but as the utilities are in the western footpath they will be within the Precinct Properties work site. Future Engagement Engagement with Vector will remain on-going as the Project progresses.
Transpower telecommunications
There are no Transpower utilities located within or adjacent to the Project area that will be impacted by the works.
Watercare – wastewater and potable water
Engagement Engagement (in the form of emails, phone calls, meetings and a workshop) has been undertaken with the following Watercare representatives from December 2015: Alastair Stewart (Water Project Manager – Infrastructure) at Watercare in relation wastewater and potable water Aru Chelliah (Team leader central - new developments) in relation new connections for wastewater and potable water Simon Porter (Central Networks Manager) in relation wastewater and potable water. Engagement Outcome Watercare representatives have confirmed: Watercare utilities located within Lower Queen Street will be impacted by Stage 3 of the Project and require removal and protection. New connections will be required for the temporary accommodation works (Stage 1 of the Project). An ‘Agreement for Entrusted Works’ is currently being negotiated between Watercare and the Auckland Transport-City Rail Link in relation to the Project. At this point in time, Watercare will not need to work outside of the BTC or CRL designation boundaries in order to divert any utilities that are affected by the construction work. It is possible that there may be additional valve installed that are outside the existing designation. However, this work would be discrete from the Project. Future Engagement Engagement with Watercare will remain on-going as the Project progresses.
Auckland Council – stormwater
Engagement Engagement (in the form of emails and meetings) has been undertaken with Yasenko Krpo, Ranjit Ranatunga and Manel Liyanagama at Auckland Council, from October 2015, regarding impacts of the construction works on Council stormwater utilities located within or surrounding the Project area. Engagement Outcome The Auckland Council Stormwater Unit representatives have confirmed: Auckland Council stormwater utilities located within Lower Queen Street will be impacted by Stage 3 of the Project and require removal. New stormwater connections will be required for the temporary accommodation works (Stage 1 of the Project). At this point in time, the Auckland Council Stormwater Unit will not need to work outside of the BTC or CRL designation boundaries in order to divert any utilities that are affected by the construction work. An ‘Agreement for Entrusted Works’ is currently being negotiated between Watercare and the Auckland Transport-City Rail Link) in relation to the Project.

Incident Reporting, Classification, and Management
Glossary Event date
The date the incident occurred
Event time
The time the incident occurred, recorded in 24 hour notation.
Acute Injury:
An acute injury is an injury with a sudden onset, usually as a result of a single specific trauma. Some causes of acute injuries are burns, electrical shock, car accidents, falls, sprains and strains. In all cases, a single incident causes an injury and the severity of the injury can vary. Providing patients with timely and appropriate treatment for an acute injury can limit damage that may otherwise lead to chronic problems.
Allied health professional
A person who is qualified and registered under national law and who works alongside medical practitioners to support medical care. For the purposes of this guideline, they should be people with a Medicare provider number. They include — Chinese medicine practitioner Chiropractor Dental care practitioner Medical radiation practitioner Nurse Occupational therapist
Optometrist Osteopath Pharmacist Physiotherapist Podiatrist Psychologist
Chronic Injury
A chronic injury is an injury that develops slowly over time. The symptoms may be continual or intermittent, and are of long duration and slow progression.
Home Away from Home
When a traveling employee checks into a hotel, motel, or into another temporary residence, he or she establishes a "home away from home" and they are considered to have left the work environment. When the employee begins work each day, he or she re-enters a work environment. Injuries or illnesses occurring between the home away from home and the job location are not considered work-related whilst the employee is commuting.
Incident
An occurrence that impacted on, or could have impacted on, the state or well-being of Downer or its personnel, assets, business, reputation, or on the environment or community.
Injury
For purposes of this standard, injury means — An acute injury resulting in harm from a physical hazard in a single traumatic event or occurrence in the workplace, whilst on duty Note: Health cases are not reported as recordable injuries
INX
A computer program to record and manage incidents and corrective actions
Level 2 first aider
A person who holds a current level 2 first aid certificate issued by a Recognised Training Organisation (or equivalent in other countries)
Location
The physical location at which the incident occurred, to be recorded as a complete street address including locality, state (or equivalent), postcode (or equivalent), and country

Lost Work days
The total number of whole rostered days or shifts lost, after the day of the injury, when the person was unable to work as a result of a workplace injury, this includes subsequent treatment, such as surgery at a later date required from the original injury Days lost excludes the day of the incident, planned leave, weekends, scheduled days off (ie, rostered days off) and public holidays. Notes
Medical practitioner
If days are lost due to travelling to obtain, or waiting for, a diagnosis, those days are not counted as lost work days if the subsequent diagnosis does not result in lost time. Part shifts lost do not result in a lost work day An upper limit of 12 months (ie. 220 work days) off work should be applied in the calculation of Severity Rate for all Lost Time Injuries, including Fatalities Lost work days should be allocated to the date that the injury occurred for the purpose of calculating Severity Rate A person registered as a medical practitioner with the Medical Board of Australia (or equivalent in other countries) as able to practice
Palliative
A remedy that alleviates pain or the symptoms of disease or disorder without effecting a cure or treating the injury
Reported date
The date the incident was reported to the responsible manager
Therapeutic
Successful prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a physical and mental illness, improvement of symptoms of illness; as well as beneficial alteration or regulation of the physical and mental status of the body.

Incident Reporting, Classification, and Management
Determine if the injury or incident is work-related Objective
Determine if the injury or incident is classified as work-related Note: Only injuries or incidents that are deemed as to have occurred in the Downer work environment are required to be reported and investigated.
For zero harm reporting purposes, an injury is work-related if — 1. The injured person is a Downer employee or Downer contractor, and 2. The injury or impact resulted from an incident occurring in the Downer work environment, and 3. The injury or impact does not fall under any of the exceptions listed below.
Downer employee A Downer employee is a person who — has a current contract of employment with a company in the Downer Group is an employee of a Downer JV as a contractor to an incorporated venture is an employee of a Downer JV of an unincorporated venture under Downer management control remains directly employed by Downer on an unincorporated venture partnership
Downer contractor A Downer contractor is a person who is under a contractual relationship to do work for or on behalf of Downer. Contractual relationships include — Direct contracts and sub-contracts Employees of companies contracted directly or sub-contracted to do work for Downer or their subsidiaries Situations where a contract has not been raised, but Downer procurement policy would normally expect a contract to be in place. This applies at all levels, including sub-contracted relationships.
Downer supplier A Downer supplier is a supplier of goods to a Downer site or premises, or a deliverer of Downer owned or purchased goods to another location on behalf of Downer.
Downer work environment Downer work environment means the establishment and other locations (including vehicles and vessels) where one or more Downer employees or Downer contractors are working or are present as a condition of their employment or contract with Downer. The work environment includes physical locations as well as interactions with equipment and materials used by the person in the course of their work on behalf of Downer. Work environment includes — Any activity under Downer’s direct control, and Fixed, temporary or mobile sites. For an office or facility, the property line of the normal place of work, or Any other location visited by the person as a condition of their employment or contract (such as a customer site) Vehicles or vessels driven or operated by a Downer employee or contractor if the vehicle or vessel is being used for and/or on behalf of Downer, or Home*, if authorised to work from home * See work environment definition for home away from home situations and other exemptions

Incident Reporting, Classification, and Management Injury Exceptions An injury is not work-related if — At the time of the injury, the person was present at the location as a member of the general public rather than as an employee or supervised contractor. The injury involves signs or symptoms that surface at work but which result solely from a non-work-related incident or condition, or would not likely to have occurred had the pre-existing condition not been present. The injury results solely from — voluntary participation in a wellness program or in a medical, fitness, or recreational activity. eating, drinking, or preparing food or drink for personal consumption. doing personal work (unrelated to the person’s employment or work for Downer) at the location, outside the person’s assigned working hours. personal grooming, self-medication for a non-work-related condition, or is intentionally self-inflicted. a journey or commuting incident, such as a vehicle accident on a company parking lot or access road while the person is travelling to or from work. The injury is a common cold or flu, or a mental illness. Heart Attack, unless the heart attack is caused by a specific and significant work environment factor. The contractor is working at a location that is directly controlled by their employer or themselves, rather than a Downer controlled workplace. Other situations where the work is considered to be outside the Downer Work Environment and under Downer Influence rather than control, or the person is fully off duty. Home away from home – such as when in a camp, checked into a hotel or other company provided home away from home accommodation. Personal detour while travelling on company business.
Note Employees are expected to follow treatment advice issued by the treating practitioner. Cases that escalate due principally to failure of the individual to follow treatment advice may be reviewed for reclassification. Work relatedness of the original injury will remain, but the new treatment may be deemed as non-work related for the calculation of severity.
Downer control vs. Downer influence An incident must be reported internally and externally as required by relevant authorities, and included in Downer’s aggregated performance data, only if the relevant activity was under Downer control. (see definition below) Downer expects an incident investigation will be led by Downer in situations where Downer has been deemed as having management control. Incidents occurring in operations under Downer control are recorded in Incident Statistics for Zero Harm Performance reporting. Incidents occurring in operations under Downer influence only, and having relevance to Downer, should be notified, for the purpose of sharing lessons, but are not recorded in Downer Incident Statistics for Zero Harm Performance reporting. (see definition below)
Emails and other communications relating to an `under control’ or ‘under influence’ incident should be clearly labelled as such, and include a note explaining why the incident has been classified in this way. Care should be taken not to implicate Downer.
An activity is under Downer control if — Downer owns the assets and employs or engages the workforce in question in its own right, or

Incident Reporting, Classification, and Management
First Aid Case Definition A First Aid Case is treatment given that is within the scope of a trained first aider. This includes treatment provided by a nurse or registered medical practitioner, which could have been provided by a first aider. It also includes observation or diagnostic investigations that do not fall within the definition of medical treatment (see examples below). A first aid case is a one-time treatment of any injury and any follow-up visit for conditions that do not ordinarily require medical care. First aid also includes treatments involving three or less treatment sessions with an Allied Health professional, eg. physiotherapy, chiropractic, or other physical therapy (such as ultrasound, interferential or other electrical modality), where these are prescribed by a medical practitioner. If the sessions are voluntary or preventative, and/or have not been prescribed by a medical practitioner, all sessions are recorded as First Aid.
Conditions 1. The person has received a work-related injury. 2. First aid was or should have been provided. 3. The person did not receive medical treatment. (See Medical Treatment Injury on page 18.)
Recordable against Zero Harm statistics No
Examples These are considered to be first aid — Visits to a medical practitioner or other health professional (including hospital) solely for observation or counselling. Diagnostic procedures such as x-rays or blood tests, including the administration of prescription medications used solely for diagnostic purposes (eg, eye drops to dilate pupils). Using a non-prescription medication at not more than the recommended dosage on the medication label. Using a prescription medication as a ‘one-off’ single dose for a minor injury or as precautionary or for preventive treatment (eg, antibiotic to prevent infection). Administering immunisations (eg, Hepatitis B or rabies vaccine, tetanus) as a precaution to prevent illness post injury Cleaning, flushing or soaking wounds on the surface of the skin or applying antiseptic or bandages. First degree – or superficial thickness – burns. Applying wound coverings such as bandages, gauze pads, butterfly bandages, or Steri-Strips. (Permanent wound closures such as sutures, staples, or glues are considered medical treatment). Using hot or cold therapy during the first visit and up to 24 hours. Using any non-rigid means of support, such as elastic bandages, wraps, or non rigid back belts. (Devices with rigid stays or other systems designed to immobilise parts of the body are considered medical treatment.) Drilling a fingernail or toenail to relieve pressure, or draining fluid from a blister. Removing foreign bodies from the eye using only irrigation or a cotton swab. Removing splinters or foreign material from areas (other than eye) using tweezers, cotton swabs or other simple means. Using finger guards. Using eye patches. Drinking fluids for relief of heat stress. Up to three sessions of physiotherapy, chiropractic or other physical therapy modality (eg, ultrasound, interferential and other electrical modality). Massage Admission to hospital for electrocardiogram (ECG) following an electric shock. Second opinion medical reviews to clarify or confirm a diagnosis, if no further intervention is required.

Incident Reporting, Classification, and Management
Medical Treatment Injury Definition A medical treatment injury is harm resulting from a single workplace incident that is treated by or under the order of a registered medical practitioner, or an injury that could be considered as one that would normally be treated by a medical practitioner.
Conditions 4. The person has received a work-related injury supported by a valid medical certificate from a medical practitioner. 5. The person has received treatment beyond that defined for first aid (see First Aid Case on page 17) from or under the direction of a medical practitioner, other than for health case treatment. 6. The person has not lost time from work. If time is lost from work for one or more shifts after the shift in which the incident occurred, because the person is unfit for any duties, the injury is classified as a lost time injury.
Note Infections resulting directly and locally from injuries should be considered part of the original injury. For example, if a person sustains a cut on the shin at work, has it stitched, and two days later the wound becomes infected and the person requires antibiotics, the infection is considered part of the original injury rather than as a new case. The provision does not include systemic diseases resulting from an injury, such as hepatitis resulting from a needle stick injury.
Recordable against Zero Harm statistics Yes
Examples These are considered to be medical treatment injuries — An injury that results in a loss of consciousness, with the exception of fainting These are considered to be medical treatments — Admission to hospital as an in-patient for treatment including surgery, except for injuries deemed to be health cases Treatment of bruises by drainage, except the drilling of a fingernail to relieve pressure Treatment of breaks or fractures including immobilisation, eg. using a splint or cast or similar Treatment of infection except routine application of antiseptics. Treatment of partial or full thickness burns (second and third degree) Insertion of sutures or alternatives such as staples or cutaneous glues (except if the glue was used because an alternative wasn’t available – eg in the hair because a steri-strip wouldn’t hold) Removal of foreign bodies from wounds, if the procedure is complicated by the depth of embedment, size or location Removal of foreign bodies embedded in the eye (ie, requires more than irrigation or cotton swab) Continued use of oxygen after exposure to toxic or noxious atmospheres (initial ‘one-off’ treatment considered first aid) Attendance with a registered health professional if prescribed by a medical practitioner after the third visit Use of prescription medications (see below)
Exclusions An injury is not a medical treatment injury if— No medical treatment has been given. The medical consultations are, and are likely to remain, solely for diagnostic purposes, eg blood tests, x-rays, etc.

Incident Reporting, Classification, and Management The only treatment is routine and preventive: such as a preventive administration of antiseptic (in the absence of obvious infection), single dose prescription medication, tetanus shots or boosters. Only palliative medications or over-the-counter medications have been prescribed or taken. Prescription medication has been prescribed for palliative purposes in the absence of any other treatment. No form of treatment has been given other than a recommendation for light duties. The medical treatment does not exceed three sessions of treatment in the case of allied health professionals
Prescription medication Schedule 4 or 8 drugs prescribed or administered by a medical practitioner, For therapeutic purposes. Therapeutic medication is used to treat injury (ie. cure or alleviate a disease, defect or injury in a person). Schedule 2, 3, 5 or 6 drugs if prescribed or administered by a medical practitioner at a dosage higher than the recommended dosage on the medication label. Drugs in these schedules are over-the-counter medications. Their use at recommended dosage is not ‘prescription medication’ even if prescribed, recommended, or administered by a medical practitioner. The use of prescription medications does not constitute a medical treatment for reporting purposes if the medications are prescribed for — the treatment of chronic conditions such as PTSD, overuse injuries, or chronic back pain, or for palliative purposes. Palliative medication relieves pain or other symptoms without treating the underlying condition. Palliative medications may also be given to enable a diagnosis, and for preventive purposes. Palliative medications include both prescription and over-the-counter medications. Examples — analgesics (eg, aspirin, paracetamol, codeine; but not including narcotic analgesics prescribed for moderate to severe pain, the use of which indicates a higher severity of injury and should be accompanied by other forms of treatment), antihistamines anti-inflammatories (eg, NSAIDs including ibuprofen, indomethacin) anti-nausea bronchodilators (eg ventolin) muscle relaxants
Lost Time Injury Definition A Lost Time Injury is a work related injury that causes the person to be unfit for any work duties for one whole rostered shift or more after the shift in which the injury occurred. If the person requires follow up treatment or surgery in the future resulting from a first aid case or medical treatment injury, the lost days resulting are recordable and the injury will be reclassified as a lost time injury.

Fatality Definition A fatality is a work-related injury that results directly or indirectly in the death of the injured person. For the purposes of calculating the severity rates, fatalities should be assigned a time lost of 12 months (220 working days) at the time of the incident. [refer to AS 1885.1-1990, paragraph 6.17]
Recordable against Zero Harm statistics Yes
Health Case Definition A health case is a chronic condition that occurs as a result of work or an occupational activity or exposure to workplace hazards. It is not the result of a single workplace incident. Health Cases are not reported as injuries.
Notes Health cases are chronic conditions caused by long term exposure to workplace hazards. They are not reported as recordable injuries. Mental illness is not considered work-related unless it arises from a single traumatic event and the person voluntarily provides Downer with an opinion from a health professional with appropriate training and experience stating that the person has a mental illness that is work-related. Given that mental illness is typically a chronic condition, it is deemed as a health case for the purpose of statistical reporting. A health case may include an acute incident that aggravates chronic conditions (which may be work or non-work related), where treatment is required due predominantly to the chronic condition. In this instance the chronic condition must be unknown to Downer, or all reasonable steps had been taken to manage this condition. A person may seek or require medical treatment following an event that aggravates a chronic condition. This does not constitute an injury if the treatment is required predominantly because of the chronic condition. Use a substitution test to determine this. A substitution test is one where an ordinarily healthy worker would not have been expected to be medically impacted by the exposure.
Recordable against Zero Harm statistics No - but monitored in Health Case Frequency Rates (HCFR)

Incident Reporting, Classification, and Management Example Case 1 An employee reported he was bitten by an unknown insect on his RHS hip whilst undertaking outage works. He did not see what kind of insect had bitten him, but reported it to the supervisor at the time of incident. The following day the employee presented to work with swelling and redness around the bite area and reported to the Safety Advisor. A precautionary medical consult was arranged at a health centre. The GP advised that the swelling and redness was due to infected cellulitis rather than an insect bite He was prescribed antibiotics, no light duties required and he was due for follow up consultation Classification: Symptoms were due to cellulitis, the injury is therefore a health case. The case is NOT a recordable injury for statistical performance, but a reportable Health Case into INX.
Example Case 2 An operator returned to her dump truck after having lunch. As the operator was about to raise the truck ladder she felt something crawling inside the left sleeve of her shirt. The operator shook her sleeve and a spider fell out onto her leg. She killed the spider and continued with normal duties. Soon after she noticed minor swelling to her left mid forearm and fingers on the left hand. Classification: The injury can be linked to a single traumatic event, despite the fact that the swelling took time to develop. The case IS a recordable injury for statistical performance, and therefore NOT a reportable Health Case into INX.
Example Case 3 A drill operator was drilling in plant when he noticed discomfort and slight pain. He noticed a heat rash that became painful and would not diminish. Classification: Heat rash is a cumulative event and hence not the result of a single traumatic event. The injury is a Health Case. The case is NOT a recordable injury for statistical performance, but a reportable Health Case into INX.
Example Case 4 A site supervisor's knee became sore and swollen. The supervisor attributed the condition to constant walking on uneven surfaces. No acute injury was sustained. Injury management was initiated to assist recovery. Classification: No single traumatic event. The harm occurred over a period of time. The case is NOT a recordable injury for statistical performance, but a reportable Health Case into INX.
Example Case 5 A maintainer struck his right knee on an access door as he was entering a restricted workspace. He reported the injury to his supervisor. It didn’t seem too bad so he returned to work. As the day progressed the knee became increasingly sore and swollen. He advised his supervisor of the deterioration and diagnosis found a crack in the patella. Classification: The injury could be linked to a single traumatic event, despite the fact that the swelling took time to develop. The case IS a recordable injury for statistical performance, and therefore NOT a reportable Health Case into INX.
Environmental Incident Consequence Classification The Environmental Incident Consequence Guide (Annex B) should be used to assist in determining the appropriate level of environmental incident. It provides additional guidance in categorising environmental incidents in relation to the context of the incident, material harm and the type of incident, including spills, waste disposal, flora and fauna, water, air emissions and heritage related incidents. See Environmental Incident Consequence Guide (Annex B) for more detail.

Material environmental harm
Notifiable environmental incident
For the purpose of classifying environmental incidents, harm to the environment is “material” if: it involves actual or potential harm to ecosystems that is not trivial, or results in actual or potential loss or property damage of an amount, or amounts in aggregate, exceed $10,000 (up to $50,000), and loss includes the reasonable costs and expenses that would be incurred in taking all reasonable and practicable measures to prevent, mitigate or make good harm to the environment. It does not matter that harm to the environment is caused only in the premises where the pollution incident occurs. Any environmental incident classified at level 3, where there is a duty to notify the relevant authority(s) of a pollution incident, where “material harm” to the environment is caused or threatened. The definition of “material harm” differs slightly between the regulatory jurisdictions so it is important to check the relevant legislation
Recordable environmental incident
Any environmental incident classified as level 1 to 6 and including “minor environmental reports”. Must be entered to INX
Serious environmental harm
For the purpose of classifying environmental incidents, “serious harm” occurs when “material harm” has occurred and if costs in aggregate exceed $50,000

High Potential (HiPo) incidents Definition A High Potential Incident (HiPo) is an incident occurring during or due to work required by Downer that, regardless of actual consequences, could have realistically resulted in a permanent disability (moderate impairment or greater) or death to one or more people. An incident must be reported as a High Potential Incident if it is — A physical occurrence (including a near miss): not a hazard, audit, observation, or health surveillance Zero Harm related: not quality, plant defects, etc Work related: not journey or non-work related A potential severity rating of 4, 5 or 6
Classification High Potential incidents are reported in four categories —
•
Injury • Asset Damage • Cardinal Rules breaches • Other (including environmental)
