INTRODUCTION
Sediment laden water from the Project construction works during the trenching and rail tunnel construction phases will be treated using settlement devices. Manufacturer’s information suggests that settlement devices will not typically remove very fine particles such as very fine silt or clay without chemical additives, hence the need for a dosing system which will add flocculants to the water in order to achieve the required discharge quality. Adding coagulant and flocculants to the incoming flows will help to achieve the effluent quality goals of the project. The coagulants destabilise colloidal particles and very fine suspended solids so that they begin to agglomerate. The flocculant neutralises the electrical forces between the sediment particles, thus accelerating coagulation and rate of sedimentation within the unit. pH adjusting chemicals will be used to bring the pH of the effluent to an acceptable range. The design, operation and maintenance of the proposed water treatment system are described in this Chemical Treatment Management Plan (CTMP). Importantly, the following is noted: •
The effluent quality goal was established in the Water Quality Assessment prepared by Golder Associates (NZ) Limited, dated December 2014. This identifies a minimum water clarity for all discharges of 10cm or greater measured with a black disk (supported by weekly, concentrations TSS to demonstrate <50g/m3 for 95 % of the time), pH between 5 and 9, and no visible TPH.
•
Bench testing has been undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed flocculant chemicals, however the exact requirements for coagulation and flocculation will be determined on site following initial establishment and testing of the effluent from the Siltbuster units.
•
Non-chemical flocculants will be used unless the required effluent quality is not being met or the costs are prohibitive.
Any change to this CTMP will be submitted to the Council (Team Leader Central Monitoring) for certification and no activity reliant upon a change to the CTMP will be undertaken until the change has been certified.

AT is seeking an Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia (ISCA) Infrastructure Sustainability (IS) rating for the Project. Full details are included in the Project’s Sustainability Management Plan. Project sustainability requirements that relate directly to this CTMP are included in Appendix F.

SELECTION OF TREATMENT SYSTEM
2.1 Phase 1 Trench Excavation During the trench excavation phase, excavation occurs from the construction deck and spoil is loaded onto trucks for disposal offsite. Water entering the trench will have to be pumped to a water treatment device(s) located on the construction deck. The approach will be to use small water treatment devices (settlement tanks / Siltbuster HB50s or similar) to treat water pumped out of the excavations. Flocculants will be used if necessary to meet the effluent quality goal. This would involve hand dosing or the use of Haloklear manifold.
2.2
PHASE 2 TRENCH EXCAVATION AND BACKFILING TREATMENT SYSTEM OVERVIEW
As the work progresses, and individual excavations become larger and more connected, water can be drained towards a water treatment plant. The water treatment plant (WTP) will utilise a treatment train approach consisting of the following components (Figure 1): 1. Mixing Header Tank; 2. Influent Quality Monitoring device; 3. Dosing system; 4. Sediment Removal Tanks (Siltbuster Clarifiers); 5. Effluent Quality Monitoring device; 6. Treated water storage/reuse; and 7. Discharge to stormwater network.

Based on the comparison above, the Haloklear Dual Polymer System (DPS) is proposed for primary use on the Project, in conjunction with an active electronic dosing system similar to the RST Environmental Solutions “Electronic Dosing Device” (Appendix D of this CTMP). The automatic dosing device will house the relevant additives in a series of chambers (refer to Section 3.3 of this CTMP for further details). If the Haloklear system proves to be less effective than anticipated, then the alternative chemical-based system will be implemented. Both types of treatment chemicals have had bench testing undertaken (results in Appendix B of this CTMP).
3. 3.1
TREATMENT SYSTEM DETAILS MIXING HEADER TANK
The first stage in the treatment train is a mixing/header tank. The mixing facility serves to homogenise the influent water. Rapid changes of influent water quality are evened out so that gradual changes in water quality will be fed to the rest of the treatment train. This approach reduces the frequency and magnitude of dosing adjustments. In addition, during very low flows, the tank may be used to store water for batch processing.
3.2
INFLUENT QUALITY MONITORING
After the mixing tank, inline pH and Total Suspended Solids meters will gather continuous influent water quality data which will be fed to the pH and flocculent dosing system.

CHEMICAL TREATMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN Doc No: 025-Y031-2719 REVISION: 04 DATE 21-March-2016
3.3
DOSING SYSTEM
The dosing point will be located near the inlet into the Siltbuster unit. This will ensure the Haloklear is sufficiently mixed by turbulent flows into the unit. Figure 1 shows a schematic of the treatment process. The dosing system will consist of an automatic dosing device with a series of chambers containing the relevant additives. It is proposed to use Haloklear, which is a natural flocculant derived from Chitin. Chitin is a natural biopolymer found in crustacean shells. It replaces the use of chemical based flocculants which can have an adverse effect on the surrounding environment if left untreated, and is biodegradable. The Haloklear DPS dosing system utilises two different components - known as LBP2101 and Liquifloc. Both are supplied in liquid form. Refer Appendix C of this CTMP for further information on Haloklear. 3.3.1
Flocculant Testing
Jar testing of the Haloklear flocculant mixtures on soil samples from adjacent boreholes was undertaken by RST Environmental Solutions Ltd (Appendix B of this CTMP). Testing compared the DPS (Liquid floc, and natural biopolymer) at different dosage levels, with a P50 polymer (blended biopolymer and polyaluminum chloride) and straight polyaluminum chloride (PAC). The results are provided in Appendix B of this CTMP. The results using the Haloklear DPS showed acceptable effluent clarity (NTU) levels for all samples. The testing found that the ideal dose for all samples was between 100 and 200ppm of each polymer for the soil concentrations of ~15g/L. Table 3 summarises the types of soil material tested, and results. The influent turbidity values ranged from 100 to over 1000. The best-case resultant turbidity for each of the seven samples ranged from around 6 to 50. In terms of clarity measures, while these were not specifically assessed, it can be seen from the photographic laboratory results (Appendix B of this CTMP) that at least 100mm clarity can be achieved for all samples (the sample bottles are approximately 100mm wide).

The results indicate that higher dosing rates improve the effectiveness of settling and the biodegradable Haloklear DPS approach is expected to achieve the 10cm clarity goal. Samples of total suspended solids were not taken but the water quality treatment goal for TSS will be confirmed during operation. Due to the electronic dosing device, the likelihood of over dosing is negligible. The polymers are biodegradable, and therefore the risk to the receiving environment of overdoing is considered negligible. As a precaution, a Haloklear Residual Biopolymer Test Kit can be used to detect the presence of free residual biopolymer before it leaves the site. Typically, testing for residual chitosan has shown levels below 0.1mg/L (pers. communication with RST Environmental). These results will be used to calibrate the electronic dosing device when the treatment plant first becomes operational. Monitoring results will indicate whether optimum dosing is being used. Chemical flocculants were also tested (Poly Aluminum chloride) and Crystafloc B610H and were found to be equality effective. The results are also included within Appendix B of this CTMP. 3.3.2
Dosing Performance
If for some reason the effluent goals are not being met (despite being retreatment) the following steps will be taken: a. Halting of all pumping from the excavation and discharges from site. b. Assessment of system for blockages/clogging and make changes to DPS components as required (replace flocculants). c.
Re-test the effluent.
d. If the clarity is still unacceptable, then revert to a manual dosing system – with starting points of between 100 and 200ppm (as per the Jar Test). e. Re-test the effluent and only release if less than the clarity goal. f.
Recalibrate automatic dosing device.
If results are still unacceptable, then the alternative flocculants will be investigated. At times it may be impractical, unsafe or environmentally unsound to stop the dewatering system immediately. The Water Quality Assessment prepared by Golder (2014) identifies that the Total Suspended Solids water quality goal should be met at least 95% of the time. In these instances, discharge which does not meet this water quality goal may continue until a safe hold point in the construction program is reached. Where the effect of this discharge to the Waitemata Harbour is more than minor, an environmental incident investigation will be carried out to identify causes and prevent recurrence.

3.4
SEDIMENT REMOVAL TANKS (SILTBUSTERS CLARIFIERS)
The treatment system has been designed around a specific type of sediment removal tanks known as ‘Siltbusters’. These tanks use lamella clarifiers to improve sediment settling.
3.5
EFFLUENT QUALITY MONITORING
The purpose of the effluent quality monitoring is to confirm the water being discharged meets the required discharge quality targets. 3.5.1
Discharge Quality Targets
Contaminants in the influent water quality will be determined by: •
The quality of the groundwater intercepted by the trench/tunnel
•
Rainwater falling in the trench and picking up contaminants as it travels to the sump. The type and concentration of contaminants will be dependent on the nature of the geology, spoil or fill material the water comes into contact with. It should be noted that the sides of the trench will be progressively stabilised.
•
The small volumes of stormwater water entering the trench either directly or pumped from stockpile bunds.
Taking this into account, the water quality classifications were established in the Water Quality Assessment by Golder (2014) and by Condition 89 of discharge permit R/REG/2014/5435 and are as follows: 1. Good (able to be discharged directly to the local stormwater network): •
water clarity of 10cm or greater measured with a black disk (supported by weekly samples of TSS to demonstrate <50g/m3.
•
a pH between 5 and 9,
•
no visible TPH (sheen or odour)
2. Moderate •
Does not meet the above criteria and will be retreated
3. Poor (collected in water tankers and removed off-site for treatment and discharge): •
Water that is not able to be treated on-site
•
Water that cannot demonstrate compliance with 50 times 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.
•
The key contaminants to be monitored include Copper (total) mg/L, Zinc (total) mg/L, Lead (total) mg/L, and Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons mg/L. Table 4 summarises the ANZECC trigger values.

The trigger values are not designed to be applied as discharge criteria, rather used to assess risk to identified receiving environment values. Where the water samples meet the trigger values the risk to the receiving environment can be considered low, while exceedances indicate a need to further investigate the cause and risk. A monitoring report will be prepared 8 weeks after the WTP has been in operation and will include monitoring results and a discussion of the results against the above trigger values. The results will help determine whether further consideration of the values of the receiving environment and the risk to these is necessary (i.e. if the trigger levels are being exceeded). The monitoring report will consider in more detail the ongoing monitoring regime dependent on the results of the monitoring (refer section 3.5.2 of this CTMP for further discussion). 3.5.2
Effluent Quality Monitoring
An effluent quality monitoring system will be installed after the Lamella Clarifiers to determine if the treated water meets the required discharge standards. An automatic system will be used to monitor TSS and pH. A recirculation valve will be in operation to send water back that does not meet the required standards (TSS of <50gm3 and pH of 5-7) to the start of the treatment process for retreatment. Within 30 days of the installation of the water treatment system, and prior to operation, a discharge monitoring programme, to assess the ongoing adequacy of all management practices, shall be developed and submitted to AC (Team Leader Central Monitoring) for certification. The programme will be based on consent condition 101 (refer Table 1 of this CTMP). However, in accordance with condition 104, an initial monitoring report will discuss and refine the ongoing monitoring programme based on initial monitoring results (refer 3.5.3 of this CTMP). Effluent quality monitoring will begin as soon as the WTP is operational. Attached to this CTMP is an example of a record sheet (Appendix A) which will be used daily by site staff to record the following information: •
Visual Check – check the Siltbuster inflow rate (m3/hr), depth within tank, influent clarity, presence/absence visible TPH (conspicuous oil or grease film, sheen or odour), and dosing system operation.
•
Carry out a water clarity test of effluent: 10cm or greater measured with a black disk
•
Check pH results from data logger to confirm pH is between 5 and 9
•
Record any notes for maintenance or additional information (e.g. ordering additional flocculant supplies).
In addition, weekly samples of effluent will be taken from the water reuse storage tank (sample location for final discharge from the site), sent to an accredited laboratory and tested for: •
Total Suspended Solids

•
Copper (total) mg/L
•
Zinc (total) mg/L
•
Lead (total) mg/L
•
Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons mg/L
The results will be reported as discussed below. 3.5.3
Monitoring Reports
Monitoring reports will be prepared and forwarded to AC (Team Leader Central Monitoring) as follows: a. Within eight weeks following the start of the monitoring (initial monitoring report) b. Within five working days of receipt of sample results showing contaminants exceeding the agreed trigger levels c . Ongoing at a frequency agreed Initial Monitoring Report The initial monitoring report will include: •
a summary of the monitoring results to date;
•
an interpretation of those results and suggestions for improvement to the site operations were required;
•
a programme for ongoing monitoring including the reporting of results; and
•
water treatment plant maintenance program
Non-Conforming Result Report •
Within five working days of receipt of sample results showing contaminants exceeding the agreed trigger levels an investigation shall 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).
Regular Monitoring Reports •
The frequency and content of the regular monitoring reports will be determined in the initial monitoring report.
4. STORAGE, MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE 4.1
STORAGE OF WATER TREATMENT PLANT ADDITIVES
The water treatment additives will be stored in CSA 4 and active and frequent monitoring by assigned personnel will allow for early identification of any flocculant overdose or spills. Where the manual addition of flocculants may be required during phase 1 of the trench excavation, (approximately 3 months duration) this will only be undertaken by appropriately trained staff. CONNECTUS PROJECT NO. 2719 CITY RAIL LINK LIMITED
PAGE 17 OF 51
CHEMICAL TREATMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN Doc No: 025-Y031-2719 REVISION: 04 DATE 21-March-2016
During phase 2 of the trench excavation (approximately 17 months duration) there is little risk of overdosing occurring due to the automated dosing system. Environmental harm from an overdose or spill is minimised due to a bio-degradable flocculant being used. Chemicals will be managed in accordance with Connectus 020-E012-100 Hazardous Substances & Dangerous Goods Procedure. A 020-F028-100 Hazardous Substances & Dangerous Goods Register will be developed prior to the chemicals coming to site. Active and frequent monitoring by assigned personnel allows for early identification of any leakages or overdosing during rainfall events. Therefore, action can be taken quickly to mitigate any spills or changes in water quality when discharging back into the drainage systems.
4.2
MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE

Introduction Sediment control from earthworks and infrastructure development sites has an ongoing focus as a potential source of environmental pollution and a risk to New Zealand native species and habitats in waterways. Particle size, soil chemistry and rainfall intensity are the main factors influencing the settling rate of suspended particles in a rain event. Bench testing of soil types likely to be encountered from sites and highlighting potential problematic soil types has been beneficial in alerting consent issuing authorities to aid in enforcing guidelines or regulations to minimise and for the most part eliminate sediment effects on ecosystems and waterways around New Zealand. When required, the use of chemicals to assist coagulation and/or flocculation, and subsequently reduce settled water turbidity exiting a sediment pond or treatment process has shown to be very beneficial in reducing or eliminating effects on receiving waters. The aim of the tests performed on the samples provided was to determine the settling rates of suspended solids mobilised by rainfall events and or ground water infiltration into site, and if deemed necessary the optimum treatment chemical(s) and approximate dose rate(s) to effectively settle and compact the colloidal or very fine sediment in a retention pond or suitably sized water treatment process (such as siltbuster or lamellar type device). References in this report will discuss the siltbuster or Lamellar device as the water treatment plant or “WTP”. Coagulation and/or flocculation, settled water turbidity and pH was observed and recorded for each jar test and the results used to determine the optimum chemical and approximate dose rate (if any) for each sample provided.
Methodology Chemically Assisted Settling Tests Each settling test was performed on 500mL samples of the suspension as used for the unassisted settling tests. Each sample was dosed with chemical, then agitated in a “Boltac” coagulation simulator for 10 seconds at 250rpm (to imitate chemical addition, followed by 1 minute at 100rpm (subsequent mixing in the front end of the settling pond or treatment plant/process), followed by 5 minutes at 30rpm (slow mixing to imitate slow agitation and minimal mixing in the front end of sediment pond or inside treatment plant settling zone), followed by settling for 10 minutes before sampling from the surface of the treated sample. In an actual WTP we would believe this type of test regime to be indicative of similar scenario and if the WTP is sized appropriately there is likely to be considerably more settling time. However, if there is the potential for significant build-up of solids or reduced settling time in the WTP then this type of test regime will be more likely indicative of actual settling achieved in practice. To allow distinct measureable doses to be added to the bench tests it is generally accepted that the concentrated chemicals be diluted before addition. The dilution of chemicals used for the bench testing was based on the following detail as normally specified as water/waste water industry standards… 24 mL of LiquiPAC (Poly aluminium chloride 33.7% or 10.1% as Al2O3) as supplied was diluted with 1L of tap water to give 1% solution as PAC.

10mL of Crystalfloc L3RC (PolyDADMAC 40% solution) as supplied was diluted with 1L of tap water to give 1% solution. The powder version of PolyDADMAC is called Crystalfloc B3H and has >90% active or approximately double the active strength of the liquid version. Given the above dilutions the samples were tested on the basis that 1mL of the 1% solutions per litre of testing sample/suspension is equivalent to 10 parts per million (ppm or g/m3). 1g of powder Crystalfloc B610H was diluted into 1L of water and this diluted solution was used in the bench tests, 1mL of this solution dosed into 1L of sample is equivalent to 1ppm.
Summary The samples provided had in general very mobile clay or very fine colloidal particles which remained in suspension long enough to potentially create settling issues in a WTP. Of note the pictures taken of bench tests shows the volume of settled material and the variability thereof between each sample.
Recommendations Summary The samples provided reacted very well with what we would consider to be low range dose rates of LiquiPAC or Crystalfloc L3RC (or B3H). Three of the samples (samples 1, 2, 5) settled relatively quickly without treatment and had settled water turbidity in below 50NTU after 2 hours of settling. Two of the samples (samples 4 and 7) settled slowly and had settled water turbidity of approximately 100NTU after 24 hours. The last two samples (samples 3 and 6) settled very slowly and still had settled water in excess of 100NTU after 48 hours of settling. Given the dose rates required were relatively low, we suggest that dosing LiquiPAC would be easy to control, the same system could also be used to dose a diluted solution of Crystalfloc L3RC. A smaller and or different type of dosing pump would be required for dosing neat L3RC (such as a peristaltic or piston type pump). We would suggest that polymer dosing is installed on the plant to allow for its use as/when required
Dosing Discussions/Options L3RC is relatively viscous and this is the reason for using a different dosing pump, this may make control slightly more difficult as dose rate volumes vs flow rate will be low. LiquiPAC gave consistently lower settled water turbidity and performed well on the two “difficult to treat samples� (sample 3 and 6) in particular when combined with dosing with Crystalfloc B610H polymer. Sample 5 settled very quickly as was predominantly fine sandstone and may not require any treatment on its own, however as there is likely to be mixture of soils in the treatment plant at any given time we would suggest that dosing is maintained throughout the project. Furthermore, we suggest extra focus on the WTP when it is noted that the alluvium materials are being treated as this is when polymer dosing will definitely be required at varying rates to maintain control of the treatment plant. It would also be strongly recommended that further testing is done on set up of the plant and throughout the project, Ixom can provide the bench testing resources as required.

Recommendations Sample 1: Non-Engineered Fill This sample had a relatively high mobile colloidal component which remained in suspension long enough to be an issue in a WTP. This sample also had a slightly low pH with untreated pH 6.23. The sample did not effectively self-settle without coagulant addition, and therefore we would recommend that coagulant dosing to contain the sediment within the WTP. LiquiPAC (Poly Aluminium Chloride) and Crystalfloc L3RC gave similar settled water turbidity at very low dose rates and easily achieved turbidity results below 10NTU. The sample required a relatively low dose rate of coagulant to create a floc which would settle in a WTP. Furthermore, over and above the optimal dose rate there was an extended range of dose rates of which effectively settled the suspended solids, so we would expect the dosing control to be relatively easy to maintain with either product across a wide range of sediment loading variability. We would suggest that dosing of polymer is used while this material is being processed through the WTP to assist with compaction of the solids and use of the minimum amount of coagulant as possible to minimise effect on pH in particular for dosing of LiquiPAC. L3RC has little to no effect on pH, so if pH is deemed to be a control issue L3RC may be a better coagulant option for this soil type. Untreated Sample 1

Recommendations Sample 3: Alluvium This sample had an extremely high mobile colloidal component which remained in suspension long enough to be an issue in a WTP. This sample had an untreated pH6.73. The sample did not effectively self-settle even with coagulant addition, and therefore we would recommend that coagulant and flocculant dosing is used to contain the sediment within the WTP. LiquiPAC (Poly Aluminium Chloride) and Crystalfloc L3RC gave similar settled water turbidity at mid to high range dose rates and could achieve turbidity results below 20NTU. The sample required dosing of coagulant and flocculant to create a floc which would settle in a WTP. Over and above the optimal dose rate there was a reasonable range of dose rates of which effectively settled the suspended solids, however the balance of coagulant and flocculant would need to be adjusted according to results. We would expect the dosing control require focus to maintain results with product regime. Solids removal from the bottom of the WTP will require additional discharge to avoid overfilling the WTP with solids while processing this material. We would suggest that dosing of polymer is essential while this material is being processed through the WTP to assist with compaction of the solids and use of the minimum amount of coagulant as possible.

This sample had an untreated pH7.10. The sample did not effectively self-settle even with coagulant addition, and therefore we would recommend that coagulant and flocculant dosing is used to contain the sediment within the WTP. LiquiPAC (Poly Aluminium Chloride) gave by far the best settled water turbidity at mid to high range dose rates and could achieve turbidity results below 20NTU only with addition of flocculant. Crystalfloc L3RC did not perform very well on this sample. The sample required dosing of coagulant and flocculant to create a floc which would settle in a WTP.

HaloKlear products are used to treat storm, industrial and municipal water, including pollutants in construction site runoff, by reversing the process of water contamination through a combination of advanced, environmentally friendly, natural biopolymer technologies. When it comes to handling dirty water, HaloKlear has built its reputation on creating reliable, effective and safe solutions that can solve all kinds of sediment control problems. HaloKlear’s Dual Polymer System (DPS) uses natural biopolymers that completely biodegrade through simple enzymatic activity, resulting in no bioaccumulation. The primary active ingredients are commonly used in the dietary supplement and food industries. The HaloKlear Biopolymer Residual Test Kit is used to ensure excess biopolymers are not leaving the site. This knowledge is comforting for regulators,contractors and the general public, who can rest assured that the products are not going to cause harm to the environment. Most importantly, HaloKlear’s DPS has a best-in-class performance, and has proven itself under vastly varied conditions around the world. It is used in systems ranging from active treatment for mobile water treatment, semi-passive pumped water incorporating coarse filtration and geotextile bags, and completely passive models, such as bio-filtration and check dams. HaloKlear DPS is designed to give contractors and industries in need of water treatment solutions the essential tool they need to meet state and national discharge regulations, and as well as the new proposed EPA Effluent Limitation Guidelines (ELGs).

Laboratory analysis is needed, which can take several days, adding time and cost
HaloKlear DPS can be applied on passive, semi-passive, and active treatment systems (Sand-Media, Bags, Cartridges, Screens, etc.). Active treatment systems will benefit due to the type of flock generated (stable and high sheer strength), its ability to retain finer solids, retain a lower percentage of water (i.e. drier solids), and easily be backwashed from the filter
Polyacrylamides can only be used with passive and semi-passive systems and not with active treatment systems, because they will usually produce a gelatinous flock which contains a high percentage of water and will stick/bind to the filtration media (i.e. Sand, Screens, etc.) making it difficult to backwash and clean

EDD
TM
Electronic Dosing Device
patent pending
This new device is set to revolutionise the Sediment and Erosion Control Industry in New Zealand. The system is designed to take all the hassle out of the old rain activated shed system. The system is flow activated so whilst there is water running in to the pond whether from rain fall or from a pump EDD will dose the water. It can add any type of flocculent system and can run dual polymers if necessary. EDD can manage a site up to 10 hectare. EDD will also monitor rainfall on site and rainfall intensity and can measure the volume of water that passes through the pond. It can send a text message if any preset limits are reached or when the flocculent is low in the tank. Add on’s to the system include measuring total suspended solids at the inlet and outlet of the pond, pond pH plus there is provision to install other devices. EDD has telemetry so we can transmit live data to a web site. EDD’s systems mean that it is very easy to calibrate for any catchment size or chemical dose rater. The monitoring system means that there is less maintenance or any requirement to check the ponds and the feedback system allows for easy management. It’s dosing system is highly accurate and so less chemical is likely to be used allowing for addition cost savings not only from less chemical but also less management time.

2
Measures to minimise adverse impacts to local receiving water quality during construction have been identified and implemented
Compliance with this ESCP and the CTMP Section 4
AND Monitoring of water discharges and receiving waters is undertaken at appropriate intervals and at times of discharge during construction.
Section 3 of the CTMP, Appendix D
AND Monitoring of water discharges and receiving waters demonstrates no adverse impact on local receiving water environmental values.
Section 3 of the CTMP, Appendix D
Additional Guidance: In order to demonstrate "no adverse impact on local receiving water environmental values", the following would need to be achieved:
No exceedances of appropriately set water quality objectives, or
where there are exceedances of water quality objectives, incident investigations demonstrate: i. ii. iii.
no disruption or degradation of environmental values, no exceedance of licence limits, and Improvements to practices have been implemented to prevent recurrence.
If water quality objectives are exceeded, the onus is on the assessor to demonstrate that this has not resulted in 'disruption to the regular uses or values of the receiving water could be evidence based on discussions with the notified entities. Examples of disruptions include closure of a recreational site, an inability to use the water for irrigation/drinking supply/stock watering or other uses, ceasing commercial fishing, or other interruptions to the ability to fully utilise the receiving water in ways it is normally used. ‘Degradation’ to the receiving water environment could be measurable through a measured change in, for example, AUSRIVAS waterway condition scores (in places it is measured through Australia), exceedances of ANZECC 2000) water quality objectives (only if the waterway was of a health already in accordance with the guideline), or noticeable changes in system ecology such as harm or reduction in numbers of native fish, macro-invertebrates or riparian vegetation.

The Construction Support Areas are shown as having generators -- first I've seen of this. Those of us who lived through the Great Central Auckland Power Crisis grew heartily sick of the noise of motor generators. I would hope that the construction will use reticulated power, and that the generators are for emergency use only.
Reticulated power supplies will be used for the construction support areas wherever possible. Generators will be required to support some of the more mobile activities and/or where is not practical to use reticulated sources.
