Introduction

The City Rail Link (CRL) project comprises the construction, operation and maintenance of a 3.4 km underground passenger railway, running between Britomart Station and the North Auckland Rail Line in the vicinity of Mt Eden station. The works relating to this Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) 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 generally by the blue shaded area in Figure 1.1 below.

Project Description

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 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 to be redeveloped by Precinct Properties), and then up Albert Street. Significant works beneath the CPO will be undertaken, with the construction of two new rail tunnels extending westwards beneath the basement floor level. In Lower Queen Street, sheet piling will be extended across the road corridor, excavation undertaken to form the tunnels followed by reinstatement of the road corridor following the completion of works. During construction, existing ticketing and retail functions and pedestrian access to the station will be accommodated in Station Plaza, at the rear of the CPO building. 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). All of the land within the Project area (at the surface) has been previously disturbed. A detailed description of the construction works is provided in the CEMP.

2.2

Active Construction Zones

The Project will be divided into four discrete ACZ as shown in Figure 2.1.

2.3

Construction Support Areas

Three construction support areas (CSA) will be established to support the ACZs as outlined in Table 2.2 and shown on Figure 2.2. The three CSAs will support the ACZs and provide for general activities, such as site offices and construction personnel amenities, machinery parking and storage, loading/unloading and temporary storage of construction materials, waste storage and collection. Although unlikely, temporary storage of excavated spoil may be required in unforeseen circumstances (for example, breakdown of construction plant). Any temporary stockpiles shall not exceed 24 m³ per ACZ3 and shall be appropriately covered as outlined in the Project Air Quality DWP (Appendix L of the CEMP).

Refer to the staging plans provided at Appendix C for further details on Project staging and the main construction activities in each stage.

2.5

Construction aspects

2.5.1

Site establishment

Site establishment activities will include site clearance, establishment of temporary accommodation buildings within Station Plaza to the rear of the BTC, ground preparation, and the establishment of erosion and sediment control measures prior to any construction activities occurring. Once the construction sites are established, stormwater runoff from impervious areas of the construction sites will be captured and treated according to this ESCP. Section 2.2 of the CEMP provides further details on site establishment and temporary accommodation works.

2.5.2

Excavation

Excavation of both Lower Queen Street and beneath the CPO will be conducted concurrently. The area of the proposed excavations will extend to approximately 14 – 16 m below ground level (bgl). The length of the excavation in Lower Queen Street will be approximately 26-28 m from the edge of the CPO building across Lower Queen Street, with the width approximately 22 – 25 m along the CPO frontage. Approximately 20,000 m3 of material will be excavated from the Lower Queen Street and CPO excavations. Lower Queen Street will be excavated using long-reach excavators at road level excavating between props, which will be lowered into the excavation and installed using a mobile crane. Final trimming and pump station excavation will be undertaken by a small excavator lowered into the trench, feeding a long-reach at road level. Spoil will be loaded directly onto truck and trailers, covered and transported from the site. Excavation beneath the CPO will take place in two phases. Initially, excavation will be conducted from inside the building, with two excavators excavating each rail tunnel. The spoil from the northern tunnel will be loaded out onto six wheeler trucks backed into the CPO through the northwestern door. The southern tunnel spoil may be loaded onto a conveyor belt, which will be installed

Erosion and Sediment Control Plan

June 2016

12 through one of the existing pedestrian doors, or placed into waiting trucks. Spoil will be covered before being transported from the site. Once the second level of struts have been installed within the CPO, the CPO excavators will be demobilised. Eight tonne excavators and tracked skid-steer loaders will be lowered into the excavation at the interface of the Lower Queen Street excavation and 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. The expected earthwork volumes and areas for each ACZ are outlined in Table 2.4. Table 2.4:

2.5.3

Backfill

Approximately 11, 000m³ of material will be required for the Project, primarily to backfill the CPO and Lower Queen Street excavations. Crushed concrete from the CPO internal ground floor demolition will be used as backfill, where practicable, in order 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 façade to the eastern end of the building, 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.

2.6

Site geology and groundwater

The geology of the Project area has been established by earlier investigations for the CRL Britomart to Wyndham Street enabling works. The general stratigraphic sequence comprises fill overlying Tauranga Group overlying East Coast Bays Formation (ECBF) within the Waitemata Group. A brief description of the stratigraphic units for the Project area is provided below: Fill – asphalt or concrete pavement underlain by granular basecourse and/or sub-base. Fill materials may comprise re-worked natural soils (silts, sands and gravels) or waste materials such as ash, clinker and demolition rubble. Auckland Volcanic Field – the Albert Park Volcano, located east of Queen Street is close to the Britomart to Wyndham Street section of the CRL project. Tauranga Group – alluvial and marine sediments comprising peat, mud, silt, sand and gravel. ECBF – alternating sandstone and siltstone beds with a completely weathered (residual soil) upper surface.

Erosion and Sediment Control Plan

June 2016

13 The Waitemata aquifer is the dominant hydrogeological unit in the central and southern part of the Auckland Central Business District. Key aspects of the hydrogeological model for the Britomart to Wyndham Street enabling works are: Localised/perched groundwater heads in un-weathered ECBF and weathered ECBF of 1 to 2 m are recorded. Seasonal groundwater level variations are likely to be about 2 m and responses to rainfall events can result in a 0.4 m variation. The perched groundwater is not hydraulically connected to the underlying regional ECBF (lower) groundwater level. The groundwater level in the Fill, Tauranga Group and ECBF in the reclaimed area is close to sea level and groundwater flow is north towards the harbour. The groundwater in the Fill is complex due to the mixture of materials present and is highly dynamic, being controlled principally by tidal effects close to the sea and the drainage-recharge influences of the stormwater drainage system. Together with other network utility service lines (many over a century old and potentially ‘leaky’), the backfill in these service trenches is considered to form rapid flow conduits for groundwater movement.

2.7

Catchment boundaries

Stormwater runoff will be controlled and managed throughout the Project. Only limited stormwater inflow into the cut and cover excavation within Lower Queen Street (ACZ D) is expected. The volume of stormwater inflow into this area will be reduced by the majority of the excavation in Lower Queen Street taking place under a canopy and with a barrier wall around the perimeter of excavations. Excavations within the CPO (ACZ C) will be contained within the CPO building and hence not subject to external weather conditions. The total Project catchment area contributing to stormwater inflow into the excavations will be approximately 600 m2. The catchment boundaries and associated information are shown on Figure 1 in Appendix D.

Erosion and Sediment Control Approach

3.1

Key principles and approaches

Erosion and sediment control measures will be implemented in order to minimise the extent of soil erosion and sediment yield from the Project site during the works. The erosion and sediment control measures will be designed, implemented and monitored in accordance with Auckland Council Technical Publication 90 (TP90) “Erosion and sediment control guidelines for land disturbing activities in the Auckland Region”. 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. Key principles underpinning this ESCP include: Viewing the Project works holistically, such that all construction activities, and the full effects of these construction activities, are considered as a whole. Implementing a team approach for design, implementation, maintenance and disestablishment of erosion and sediment control measures. This will ensure “ownership” of the erosion and sediment control measures and therefore better implementation and maintenance. Undertaking pre-construction meetings for each specific package of works and having regular weekly meetings (toolbox meetings) on site with relevant personnel and AC officers. Preparing a detailed schedule of construction activities, with monthly updates, and providing these to AC. Maintaining a register of control measures and “As Built” information to allow for quick referencing and understanding of erosion and sediment control measures. Including both physical and non-physical elements within the methodologies to be employed such as: Pre-construction investigation and testing to confirm the nature of the ground materials and to identify the presence of any contamination. Providing interceptors to minimise the ingress of rainfall and surface runoff into the construction zones and thus minimise the erosion and sediment generation process to be dealt with during construction.

3.2

General erosion and sediment control measures

The following general erosion and sediment control measures will be employed: Provide silt fences, silt capture at catchpits and bunding at surface works to prevent dirty water ingress into the public stormwater system. Silt capture at catchpits will be managed to ensure that it does not exacerbate flooding during rainfall events. Provide bunding around excavations to a level above the design flood plain in order to protect the excavations from flood inundation via surface runoff and flood plains during extreme rainfall events, recognising that any inundation could flood the BTC and place the rail service at risk. Undertaking as much work as possible “under roof� to limit the amount of water to be managed in the excavations. Minimising groundwater ingress into the excavations. Provision of a settling tank to receive water pumped from the excavations for settling and capturing sediment, enabling water of suitable quality to be discharged into the receiving stormwater drainage system. Provision of assisted sediment settlement if required, using chemical or non-chemical flocculants, the latter being preferred if effective. A batch dosing methodology will be deployed. The Project’s water quality discharge goal is consistent with standards set out in the Water Quality Assessment report prepared by Golder Associates (dated December 2014), namely, minimum water clarity of 10 cm measured with a black disk, TSS concentration of less than 50 g/m3 for 95% of the time, pH between 5 and 9, and no visible TPH (refer to CTMP in Appendix B for further details). It is assumed that there will be no stormwater capacity limitations for discharging the treated water from the site. All material removed from or delivered to the Project site shall be covered during transportation. Stabilised entrance ways will be established at ingress and egress points of the site. Road vehicles carting to and from the site will remain on sealed accesses while within the site boundaries. The roads and footpaths will be cleaned regularly and maintained to ensure that they remain free from soil and material, which could be tracked off the site. High risk spillage areas will be bunded for the containment and management of any spilled materials. Any contaminated soils encountered will be managed as described in the Contamination Delivery Work Plan (DWP) provided at Appendix K to the CEMP. The general intent is to isolate any contaminated materials from the rest of the excavated materials and dispose of them as outlined in the Contamination DWP. Dust control measures will be applied to construction activities including stockpiles, concrete cutting, demolition work, earthmoving, general construction activities, and bentonite powder handling. Details of the measures to be implemented are outlined in the Project Air Quality DWP provided at Appendix L to the CEMP.

Specific erosion and sediment control measures

4.1

General

The erosion and sediment control measures that will be implemented for the Project are based on the principles outlined in Section 3.2. Table 4.3 in Section 4.11 of this ESCP outlines specific erosion and sediment control measures applicable to each construction activity and ACZ.

4.2

Perimeter controls

Perimeter controls will be provided for the works in ACZ D (Lower Queen Street). These will take the form of a barrier wall around the excavations (within the construction area), of sufficient height to provide flood protection against high return period rainfall events as well as keeping clean runoff out of the site. Given the importance of avoiding flooding of the rail service, protection against rainfall events with an Annual Return Interval (ARI) of at least 1 in 200 years will be adopted. Council flood hazard maps show 1 in 100 year ARI flood depths of up to 0.2 m in the vicinity of the works in Lower Queen Street. The barrier wall will be no higher than 0.5 m. The barrier wall will be constructed with blockwork or reinforced concrete and bonded at its base to the road surface. A ramp will be constructed to allow vehicular access into and out of the site over the top of the wall. Design checks will be made to confirm that the formation of the barrier wall will not create increased flood risk for adjacent properties. In addition, a canopy will be constructed over most of the excavation area in Lower Queen Street in order to minimise the amount of rainfall to be managed within the excavations. The canopy will initially cover approximately 60% of the open excavation and increase to approximately 80-90% cover after the main excavations are completed. The critical case for exposed earthworks is therefore 500 m2 for ACZ D, i.e. 40% of the 1,500 m2 total earthwork area. If practicable, water will be collected from the canopy for reuse in the Project area. With the barrier wall and canopy in place, diaphragm walls installed to significantly reduce the groundwater ingress, and subsurface work below the CPO contained within the building footprint, only limited volumes of water will need to be managed within the excavations. As such, the construction methodology minimises the ESCP measures required for the cut and cover excavation and tunnel construction.

4.3

Vehicle access

Vehicle access for the transport of excavated materials from the site and delivery of materials to the site will be via sealed access ramps on the northern and southern sides of the Lower Queen Street excavation (ACZ D). Vehicles transporting material to and from the site will not be passing over excavated ground. The expected construction traffic volumes are outlined in Table 4.1

No more than 5 m3/day of groundwater ingress is expected through the temporary perimeter cut-off walls. This means that the majority of the predicted groundwater ingress will be through the bottom of the excavations prior to casting of concrete base slabs for the new rail tunnels. Excavations within the CPO and in Lower Queens Street will be sloped towards a low point on the eastern side of the Lower Queen Street excavations. A pump sump/sediment pit will be constructed at the drainage low point for the capture of coarse sediment before pumping to a treatment system at street level that will be located outside the south east corner of the CPO, adjacent to the glasshouse (within CSA A). The pump system will comprise two pumps in order to handle low and high inflows into the excavations.

Based on 600 m2 exposed excavation area in Lower Queen Street.

6

Based on predicted maximum short term tunnel inflow rates given in Table 10 of PDP groundwater effects assessment – Britomart to Wyndham report, December 2014. Of the amount shown, 84% (210 m3/day) is estimated to be contributed from the excavations within the CPO.

4.5

Treatment plant

A settlement based treatment plant will be located in CSA A, adjacent to the south east corner of the CPO building and next to the glasshouse (refer to Figure 2.2). The plant will include chemical treatment capability to assist the settlement process when required. A CTMP is provided in Appendix B of this ESCP and outlines the specific design of the treatment plant including: Treatment design flow; Header tank; Dosing system; High capacity lamella type proprietary settlement unit; Water reuse tank; Temporary storage tank; Monitoring of water quality; Spill contingency plan; and Responsibilities for the operation and maintenance of the CTP. The high capacity settlement unit will be located in CSA A in Galway Street and will receive and treat contaminated water from the excavations in ACZ C and ACZ D and from the supporting CSAs. The unit will have an effective settlement area of 50 m2, with a volume of approximately 7 m 3. It will be designed, with chemical dosing if necessary, to achieve an effluent discharge water quality complying with standards set out in resource consent condition 101. The temporary storage tank will be located beside the settlement unit and will receive water for recycling through the treatment plant if the effluent quality is unsatisfactory. The tank will have a volume of 35 m 3.

4.6

High risk spillage areas

High risk spillage areas within the construction site include: The bentonite treatment plant, located adjacent to the south west corner of the CPO building on Lower Queen Street; Jet Grouting Plant, located adjacent the north western corner of the CPO building on Lower Queen Street; and Other areas around the work site where concrete production is required. Areas around these activities will be bunded as appropriate to prevent any spillages escaping from the site. The containment works will include collection sumps and possible pumps and storage tanks for transferring contaminated fluids to trucks for disposal off site at suitable facilities. Refer to the Industrial and Trade Activities Environmental Management Plan (ITA EMP) provided at Appendix N to the CEMP for more detail on the management of the above construction activities.

4.7

Extreme weather events

A large portion of the work will be contained within the CPO building or under the canopy that will be constructed over a large proportion of the works within Lower Queen Street. In addition, flood protection measures will be put in place around the perimeter of the Lower Queen Street works. As such, extreme weather events are not expected to influence the construction activity. Contingency measures for the Project will address inundation of the excavations. All erosion and sediment control devices will be inspected after a storm event to ensure they are still operating effectively.

4.8

Construction stormwater management

Once the Projects ACZs and CSAs are established, stormwater runoff from impervious areas will be captured and treated according to this ESCP. Design of the temporary stormwater management facilities for the yards will be provided to AC as they become available to comply with the relevant resource consent conditions.

4.9

Stockpile management

Only limited, temporary stockpiling of material will take place during construction of the Project. Generally, excavated material will be sorted into contaminated material, managed fill and clean material and directly loaded on to trucks for disposal off site. Backfill material delivered to site will be placed directly in the backfill zones. Any temporary stockpiles of excavated or construction materials will not exceed 24 m 3 of spoil at any one time in each ACZ in accordance with Condition 71(e) of the Projects discharge to air permit R/REG/2014/5437. Stockpiles will be managed to prevent sediment runoff or airborne dust from them by applying one or more of the following measures: Use of covers. Light compaction of stockpile surfaces. Light wetting for dust suppression. Bunding. Refer to the Project Air Quality DWP for further detail on the management of dust from any stockpiles.

4.10

Kerbside management

The Project includes kerbside management changes (including footpath widening) that will require cutting and laying of concrete along Tyler and Galway Streets. Erosion and sediment controls measures to manage this activity will include: Dust management measures outlined in the Air Quality DWP. Continuous cleaning of kerbside and sidewalks. Avoidance of placing materials and equipment on or near footpaths. Effective reinstatement and site tidying.

Introduction

The City Rail Link (CRL) project comprises the construction, operation and maintenance of a 3.4 km underground passenger railway, running between Britomart Station and the North Auckland Rail Line in the vicinity of Mt Eden station. The works relating to this Chemical Treatment Management Plan (CTMP) 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 generally by the blue shaded area in Error! Reference source not found. below. Further details on the Project description, Active Construction Zones (ACZ), Construction Support Areas (CSA) and physical works are set out in Section 2 of the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP).

1.1

Sediment laden water

It is expected that sediment laden water will be generated during construction of the Project. Most of the water will be generated within ACZ D during Stage 3 of the work - cut and cover excavations in Lower Queen Street (refer Section 2.4 of the ESCP). The majority of Stages 1, 2 and 4 (works with ACZ A, B and C) will predominantly be undertaken under roof, with no rainfall contribution. Rainfall ingress from the works in Lower Queen Street (Stage 3) will also be reduced by the construction of a roof canopy over of the majority of the works (refer to Sections 2.2 and 2.5 of the ESCP for further details). A settlement based treatment plant will be located on-site within CSA A, adjacent to the south east corner of the CPO building and next to the glasshouse. The treatment plant is a key component of the erosion and sediment control measures to be implemented for the Project as outlined in the ESCP. 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

CHEMICAL TREATMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

2 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 need for chemical treatment, along with the type of treatment, will be confirmed when soil samples from the Project area become available and bench testing of settlement and flocculants has been undertaken. The necessary soil samples will be collected during future site investigations and pile installation, approximately 5 months before commencement of the main excavations in the CPO and Lower Queen Street. The CTMP will be updated when more site specific information becomes available. The treatment plant, including the chemical treatment facility, is hereafter referred to as the chemical treatment plant (CTP). This CTMP has been prepared by Tonkin & Taylor Ltd (T+T) for the Downer Soletanche Bachy Joint Venture (the Contractor – DSBJV) and forms part of the Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) for the Project.

Chemical treatment plant

2.1

Treatment system overview

The CTP will be located in CSA A, adjacent to the south east corner of the CPO building and next to the glasshouse (refer to Section 2.3 of the ESCP for further detail on the Project CSAs). The CTP will comprise: Header/stilling tank to receive, homogenise and still the influent water; Influent water quality monitoring point; Automated chemical dosing system and mixing point to introduce dosing chemicals if chemically assisted settlement is required (to be confirmed when bench testing of settlement and flocculants has been undertaken); Provision to allow manual dosing in case of malfunction of the automated system or a need to interrupt the automated dosing; Proprietary lamella type settlement unit for the settlement, capture and disposal of sediment and resulting in a compliant effluent water quality; Effluent water quality monitoring point; Effluent water discharge into a storage tank to supply water reuse activity of the construction works. The tank will have an overflow for discharging surplus water into the public stormwater system; Isolating valve upstream of the reuse tank to enable closure of the flow to the reuse tank and stormwater system if the effluent water quality is not fully compliant; Temporary storage tank to receive the effluent water on closure of the valve and until the water quality problem has been resolved and the valve reopened. A pump will recycle the water back to the header tank/stilling tank while a sump pump in the excavations continues to operate; and If poor effluent water quality is experienced such that it should not be recycled, the effluent water will be piped to a connection point from which it can be discharged into water tankers for disposal off site. To minimise the space occupied by the treatment system, the header/stilling tank and chemical dosing equipment will be installed on top of the temporary storage tank. An indicative layout of the treatment system is shown on Figure 2 in Appendix A of the ESCP.

2.1.1

Treatment design flow

The pumping system from the excavations will have capacity to pump a maximum of 250 m3/day (2.9 l/s) of groundwater inflow plus 110 m3/day (1.3 l/s) of inflow from a 24 hour, 1 in 100 year Annual Return Interval (ARI) rainfall event. The latter inflow will be pumped over an 8 hour period, which will increase the required flow rate to 3.9 l/s. Thus, the total pumping capacity required will be at least 6.8 l/s. To cater for the above flows, a pumping capacity of 8.0 l/s will be provided by two pumps, each with a capacity of 4.0 l/s. One operating pump will be able to handle all the groundwater inflow plus the inflow from normal rainfall events. Both pumps operating will handle the increased inflow during high rainfall events. 2.1.1.1

Temporary storage tank

A half-length steel shipping container will be used for the temporary storage tank with approximate dimensions of 6.1 m x 2.5m x 2.5 m, with an effective storage volume of approximately 35 m 3.

CHEMICAL TREATMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

June 2016

7 Assuming the predicted maximum groundwater inflow rate of 250 m3/day and no rainfall, the tank would provide a storage period of approximately 3.5 hours during which the treatment process can be reviewed and adjusted to achieve the required water quality. If the groundwater inflow is significantly less than the predicted maximum (see below), the storage tank volume would provide a 24 hour storage period for the inflow plus rainfall ingress during a 1 in 12 month ARI rainfall event. 2.1.1.2

Lower design flow

The predicted maximum short term groundwater inflow of 250 m3/day given in Table 10 of the Pattle Delamore Partners report, Auckland City Rail Link – Groundwater Effects Assessment – Britomart to Wyndham, December 2014, is understood to be conservative. Significantly lower inflow rates are expected, however the value will be reviewed as further groundwater modelling and site investigations are undertaken to inform the Project Groundwater and Settlement Contingency Monitoring Plan. A lower inflow rate could allow a reduction in the pumping capacity from the excavations. For example, if the inflow rate was of the order of only 10 m3/day, the pumping capacity could be halved to a total of 4.0 l/s. In this case, two pumps each with a capacity of 2.0 l/s, would be sufficient. The size of the settlement unit will not be reduced even if lower design flows are encountered. At a lower flow rate with the same unit size, particles of smaller size can be settled without chemical dosing (refer to Section 2.1.2 below).

2.1.2

Settlement unit

A Siltbuster HB 50 lamella type settlement unit will be used to provide the required settlement levels. The unit will be able to handle flow rates of up to 50 m3/hr (14 l/s). At an inflow rate of 4.0 l/s or 8.0 l/s, particle sizes down to less than 1 micron are expected to be captured without chemical dosing. Assisted settlement using chemical dosing, if required, will enable smaller particle sizes to settle out. At a lower design flow rate of 4.0 l/s, particles less than 0.5 micron could be settled in the HB 50 unit, which could further reduce the need for chemical dosing.

2.2

Assisted settlement

Assisted settlement via coagulation and flocculation of the water from the excavations may be required if simple sedimentation does not provide the required discharge quality. Commonly used chemicals for this process include polyaluminium chloride (PAC) or a chitin based flocculant, which can assist with both processes. Sedimentation tests will be conducted on soil samples retrieved from test boreholes as soon as the soil samples become available during further site investigations. Bench sedimentation tests using non-chemical flocculants (such as Haloklear) and chemical flocculants (such as PAC) will be undertaken on soil samples taken from the Project area when material becomes available from site investigations and pile construction. As mentioned in Sections 1.1 and 1.4 of this CTMP, Appendices B to D of this CTMP will be populated after the testing has been undertaken.

2.3

Water discharge quality

The discharge water quality to be attained was established in the Water Quality Assessment prepared by Golder Associates (NZ) Limited, dated December 2014 and is:

CHEMICAL TREATMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

June 2016

8 A minimum water clarity for all discharges of 10 cm or greater measured with a black disc and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) less than 50 g/m3 for 95% of the time; pH between 5 and 9; and No visible total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) - sheen or odour. Non-chemical flocculants will be used unless the required water quality cannot be achieved.

2.4

Modification to structural controls

In the event that any minor modifications to the structural controls system are required, the following information shall be provided to AC: a b

Plans and drawings outlining the details of the modifications; and Supporting information that details how the proposal does not affect the capacity or performance of stormwater management systems.

All information shall be submitted to, and the proposed modifications certified by AC (Team Leader Central Monitoring), prior to implementation.

Water Quality Monitoring

3.1

Monitoring

The purpose of the water quality monitoring is to confirm the water being discharged meets the required discharge quality targets. Effluent water quality monitoring will include testing for key contaminants (Copper, Zinc and Lead) cited in the Australian and New Zealand Environment Conservation Council (ANZECC) Guidelines for Fresh and Marine Water Quality (2000) for the protection of 95 percent of marine water species (refer to Table 3.1 below). Table 3.1:

The test results for these contaminants will determine whether the effluent water will be discharged into the stormwater system after treatment or tankered off-site. Water quality visual checks and water clarity tests will be conducted at the inlet and outlet points of the settlement unit. TSS and pH will be recorded using an automated instrument system, which will sample the effluent water prior to entry into the reuse storage tank. Testing for other contaminants will be done by drawing samples manually from the same location.

3.2

Daily record sheets

Daily record sheets will be completed by site staff to record the following information: Visual check of influent and effluent water clarity, pH, presence/absence visible TPH (e.g. conspicuous oil or grease film, sheen or odour), flocculant type and volume used, dosing system operation; Carry out a water clarity test of effluent: 10cm or greater measured with a black disk; Check pH results from datalogger to confirm pH is between 5 and 9; Record any notes for maintenance or additional information (e.g. ordering additional flocculant supplies); and Record of daily volume of chemicals used.

3.3

Weekly records

In addition, weekly samples of effluent will be taken and sent to an accredited laboratory and tested for: TSS mg/L; Copper mg/L; Zinc mg/L; Lead mg/L; and TPH mg/L.

3.4.2

Non-conforming result report

Within five working days of receipt of sample results showing contaminants exceeding the trigger levels set out in Section 3 of the CTMP, an investigation will be undertaken to determine why exceedances were detected and to identify any additional source controls or treatment required. The results of this investigation will be sent in a report format to AC (Team Leader Central Monitoring).

3.4.3

Regular monitoring reports

The frequency and content of the regular monitoring reports will be determined in the initial monitoring report.

Storage and Handling of Chemicals

The water treatment chemicals (if assisted settlement is required) will be stored in CSA A in the vicinity of the treatment plant. The chemicals will be stored within bunded enclosures in order to contain any spillage or failure of container vessels or pipe connections. The storage and monitoring of the chemicals will be undertaken by trained personnel in accordance with the requirements of the Project Industrial and Trade Activity Environmental Management Plan (ITA EMP). These personnel will be the same as those responsible for managing the chemical dosing of the influent water. Monitoring will ensure all chemicals used on site are accounted for, and the daily volumes used will be captured on the daily record sheets.
