Doc. No. CRL-PAT-ENV-CON-PLN-001198 Revision: 3, Date: 01 June 2016
1 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 proposed works for CRL includes the construction of twin underground rail tunnels and two underground stations which will be constructed using cut and cover methods, and Tunnel Boring methods, up to 42 m below ground. The full extent of the CRL project is shown in Figure 1. The route has been secured by way of designation which was included into the Auckland Council st District Plan (Central Area Section) on 21 October 2015. The scale and nature of the CRL project has resulted in the division of construction and maintenance into separate work packages, resulting in a staged construction. As such the route designation has also been separated into packages associated with the various sections of construction and maintenance (Notices of Requirement (NOR) 1-6). It is expected that the CRL will be completed and operational by 2023/2024, subject to funding. The end result of the CRL project will be a continuous operational underground rail system linking Britomart Station to the North Auckland Rail Line.
1.1
EXTENT OF WORKS Initially, two stages of the CRL will be undertaken (referred to as the ‘enabling works’):
The Cut and Cover tunnel between Customs Street and Wyndham Street; and
The works in the vicinity of Britomart Station to Customs Street.
The works covered in this Outline Plan (OP) constitute the Cut and Cover tunnel section of the enabling works between Customs Street and Wyndham Street (formally described as ‘Separable Portion 1 of Contract 2’). The works (‘the Project’) involve the construction of twin rail tunnels within the Albert Street road corridor from Customs Street West to Wyndham Street. The location of this Project in relation to the entire CRL corridor project is shown in Figure 1; the Project will be situated within the blue line at the northern end of the figure. The tunnels for this Project will be approximately 340m in length and will be constructed using a staged cut and cover method. It is expected to take 33 months to complete. The extent of the Project is shown in Figure 2.

CRL PROJECT CONTEXT
The CRL described in Section 1 will improve transport capacity and efficiency, while also playing a 1 pivotal role in achieving the overarching transport objectives for Auckland. The Auckland Plan calls for a transformational shift to public transport in order to achieve its vision of becoming ‘the world’s most liveable city’. Various proposals for a city rail link have been made over the past century in a bid to improve the public transport capacity and efficiency of Auckland City. The CRL is the key project of the Auckland Plan, Long Term Plan and the City Centre Master Plan and necessary to improve public transport options in the CBD and throughout Auckland. It is expected that the Auckland population will grow by 700,000 people in the next 30 years, placing significant pressure 2 on the Auckland Transport network . To meet this demand, the CRL will provide more frequent and direct trains, doubling the capacity of Auckland’s passenger rail network, and improving accessibility across the city and particularly the CBD. The CRL will allow for further potential public transport expansion and improvements whilst also providing the catalyst for development opportunities, around the stations. This OP covers a section of the Enabling Works for the CRL and is fundamental to progressing further stages of the CRL to be constructed at a later date (which will be addressed via future OP applications). Although the construction of the CRL will occur as separate work packages, the end result will be a continuous operational underground rail line.
1.3
APPROVALS PROCESS TO DATE
Investigations in 2009, 2010 and 2012 identified the preferred route of the CRL, a concept design, and robust justification of the need for underground rail infrastructure. Subsequently, Auckland Transport (AT) served Notices of Requirement (NOR) to Auckland Council (AC) in late 2012. On the 10th November 2015 the NORs were confirmed for the CRL project as a whole. As a result, there are six designations for the CRL, which are subject to designation conditions. This Project relates only to NOR1 (as shown in Figure 2) and is therefore subject only to the designation conditions relating to NOR1. Concurrent to the NOR process, Auckland Transport applied for a range of regional consents (bundled together as the ‘Britomart to Wyndham Regional Consents Package’) for activities associated with the Project. The Britomart to Wyndham Regional Consent Package was granted on 28th August 2015 and provides the regional consents relating to the wider CRL project, including those works outlined in this OP. Further detail of the activities consented by the Britomart to Wyndham Regional Consent Package is provided in Section 3.3 of this OP.
1.4
DELIVERY WORK PLANS AND MANAGEMENT PLANS
The management of specific environmental effects during construction (e.g. air quality, noise, vibration) is addressed by the Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) which includes a suite of Delivery Work Plans (DWP) and management plans specific to the key potential environmental effects of the Project. The requirements for DWPs and management plans are set out in both the designation and resource consent conditions for the CRL enabling works. Figure 3 identifies the DWPs and management plans applicable to the Project and how they relate to the designation and resource consent conditions. Where the designation and resource consent 1 2

3 SITE DESCRIPTION 3.1
SITE DETAILS Albert Street is identified as a Regional Arterial road in the Auckland Transport Arterial Road Plan and is comprised four lanes which run in a north / south orientation between Quay Street and Wellesley Street (two lanes north bound and two lanes south bound). The length of the works addressed in this OP along Albert Street is approximately 340m between Customs Street and Wyndham Street (refer Figure 2). The land adjoining Albert Street is primarily commercial, including office buildings, warehouses and storage facilities, entertainment facilities and restaurants, retail shops, and civic buildings (such as the Auckland District Court). Residential and visitor accommodation (such as hotels) are also located on Albert Street adjacent to the Project. Further detail regarding land use in the vicinity of the Project is located in the Project SIBD DWP. The topography from Customs Street to Wyndham Street is defined by a sloping gradient that rises from north to south. Albert Street is located on the edge of the Queen Street valley and near the ridge line of Hobson Street.
3.2
DESIGNATION APPLYING TO PROJECT The CRL designations were confirmed I November 2015. This Project will occur wholly within NoR1 and is subject to the applicable conditions. Figure 2 outlines the extent of the relevant designation. The proposed works are authorised and provided for by the designation and consequentially this OP is being submitted under Section 176A of the RMA. 3.2.1
Other designations within proximity to the Project
There are four designations within proximity of the Project, though they are unaffected by the works for this Project. These are listed below and shown in Figure 3.
Designation Number 314 (Transport Centre, Britomart Place and Queen Street) provides for the operation and maintenance of a transport centre and the provision for a rapid rail system. This will be implemented through the other works for CRL described in Section 1.
Auckland Transport also have two other designations; road widening outside 75 Queen Street (Designation 339) – lapse date being 12 years from being operative in the PAUP, unless given effect to prior) and a car park at 75-83 Customs Street West (Designation 308).
The Minister for Courts also has an existing designation at 65-71 Albert Street for Judicial, court, tribunal and related purposes (Designation 294). The Auckland District Court has been consulted with regard to the potential effects of CRL on their site.
Auckland Transport has also lodged a NoR (lodged 14 June 2012) in relation to all road assets within the Auckland Region. The NoR applies to the full width of all legal roads which are owned and operated by Auckland Transport or Auckland Council and provides for the maintenance, renewal, replacement and upgrade of the road network. However, the NoR is yet to be notified for submission.

3.3 HOW THIS PROJECT RELATES TO CRL AS A WHOLE The Project described in this OP constitutes a section of the Enabling Works for the CRL Project and is required to progress further stages of the CRL at a later date (as shown in blue in Figure 2). At the same time, as a separate work package, works involving the construction of an extension from the current rail network termination point within the Britomart Transport Centre are being undertaken, including construction underneath the CPO Building and Lower Queen Street. Work to extend the CRL from Britomart to its connection to the North Auckland Rail line near the current Mount Eden Station is envisaged to occur as staged and separate work packages, with an end result of a continuous operational underground rail line linking the Britomart Transport Centre to the North Auckland Rail Line. This OP and related Project activities will be deemed complete upon restoration of the surface pavement to the surface above the Project. Urban realm works will be included in further work packages in order to maintain consistency throughout the whole CRL project. The Urban Design DWP that relates to this section of the CRL Project will therefore be developed and implemented at a later date.

COMMUNITY LIAISON GROUPS
A Community Liaison Group (CLG) was formed for NOR1 and includes members of the public who are considered affected by the Project. The CLG meets at least every three months and has been given an opportunity to provide comment on all Project DWPs including those attached to this OP. This feedback process has occurred through meetings and the distribution of copies of the relevant DWPs to the CLG members. The CLG was given 10 working days to provide questions and comments. All questions and comments were taken into consideration during the development of the CEMP and DWPs. CLG comments and methods to address concerns and comments are appended to the CEMP and DWPs
4.2
NETWORK UTILITY OPERATORS
Consultation with Network Utility Operators has been undertaken throughout various stages of the Project, including as part of preparation of the NORs. Consultation with Network Utility Operators will also be ongoing throughout the duration of the construction of the Project. It will be undertaken in accordance with the ‘Principles and Objectives’ and ‘How we will communicate and consult’ sections of the Project Communication and Consultation Plan. Connectus will also utilise the strategies outlined in the ‘Communications Tools’ section of the Project Communication and Consultation Plan. The following Network Utility Operators have been consulted with in order to ensure the Project has no adverse effect on the continued operation of Network Utilities and to ensure that relocation and protection of applicable utilities occurs prior to and during Project Construction:
Chorus
Vodafone
Auckland Council Stormwater
Vector Gas, Vector Power, and Vector Communications
Watercare
Citylink

Albert Street currently provides for traffic distribution and property access in the central city with the addition of a significant number of bus services. Albert Street currently has two lanes, including a bus lane for each direction, with the following existing turning restrictions:
Northbound right turn into Victoria Street (east)
Norhtbound and soutbound right turn into Wyndham Street (both east and west)
Peak hour southbound right turn into Swanson Street (west)
There is also a southbound single lane “service lane” which provides access to Durham Street. Lower Albert Street has a two-lane approach to the Customs Street intersection and provides accesses to adjoining buildings. Network Utilities exist below the road surface, including water, stormwater, electricity, gas, and communications.

Appendix G details the proposed likely finished contour of the site. The general height, shape and bulk of the construction works will result in the reinstatement of the road reserve to a similar state to the current road reserve, i.e. two lanes for traffic in each direction, and a footpath on either side of the carriageway. Further urban design work is envisaged to occur at a later stage of the CRL Project to ensure continuity across the full length of the CRL. 5.1.3
Construction Methodology
A detailed construction methodology is located within the Project CEMP, which is submitted as part of this OP. Generally, the works will consist of: 1.
Utilities relocation and exposure
2.
Piling and capping beam construction within Albert Street
3.
Piling and road deck construction within the Customs Street Intersection
4.
Trench Excavation, including using shotcrete and Rock Dowelling
5.
Construction and waterproofing of the rail tunnels
6.
Backfilling of the trench, including construction of the new road pavement
5.1.3.1
Utilities Relocation and Exposure
The location of all the utilities in the Project footprint have been thoroughly identified through site inspections and liaison with Chorus, Vodafone, Auckland Council Stormwater, Vector Gas, Vector Power, and Vector Communications, Watercare, Citylink, and Kordia. Wherever possible, piling locations and other construction activities have been selected to avoid conflict with utilities although avoiding all utilities is not feasible. Utility relocation works required for Project Construction includes works both inside and outside of the trench alignment. All works outside of the trench will be completed prior to excavation works, while the works within the trench will be completed during trench excavation or as the trench is being backfilled on completion of tunnel construction. The following sections outline the utilities relocation in relation to works inside and outside the trench alignment. Appendix M of the Project CEMP provides further detail of the methodology for the relocation of utilities at each phase, including the machinery and equipment required and the timing of the works. Utilities works inside trench alignment Utility relocation inside the trench alignment consists of supporting existing services, abandoning confirmed redundant services, and the installation of permanent and temporary wastewater and stormwater infrastructure. It is expected that these works will take 24 months and will be completed during the excavation and backfilling stages of the Project. Utilities works outside trench alignment The utility relocation works required as part of the Project outside the trench alignment is predominately stormwater relocation, in addition to surface works, combined trench services, and electrical and water upgrades. Figure 5 shows the location of the stormwater works outside the trench alignment, whilst Figure 6 shows the Vector and Water upgrades. Appendix M of the Project CEMP provides further detail for utility relocations, including method, duration of works, and location.

Albert Street Piling and Capping Beam Construction
Piling is required at the initial stage of construction for the Project to support the trench walls during the later excavation and construction stages. It includes the installation of cased continuous flight auger piles and the construction of the pilecap on both sides of Albert Street. Figure 7 shows the location and staging of the piling (the sequence will be confirmed closer to construction). Piles will be installed along both sides of Albert Street from the North side of Customs Street to approximately 20m South of Wyndham Street. Following piling in each area, pile-caps will be constructed to connect the piles together. A blinding layer and reinforcing steel will be installed, and concrete will then be placed. Steel beams will be installed that span between the capping beams to support decks that will be suspended over the trench. A public traffic deck will be installed on the western side of Albert Street between Swanson Street and Customs Street, and a construction traffic deck will be installed on the eastern side of Albert Street between Customs Street and Wolfe Street (detailed in section 5.1.3.3).

Continuous Traffic Deck
A Continuous Construction Traffic Deck will be installed along the eastern side of Albert Street during the piling and capping stage of construction (Figure 8). The continuous construction traffic deck will provide continuous access into the excavation along the length of the trench. It will also provide additional construction site space in addition to the southern and northern compound areas. Key construction tasks which will take place along the Continuous Construction Traffic Deck including:
Spoil loading into trucks;
Delivery of backfill material;
Mobile concrete pumping; and
Crane Access.
In addition to the continuous traffic decks, two pedestrian bridges will span the trench, located on the north side of the Wyndham Street and Swanson Street intersections.

Customs Street Intersection Piling and Road Deck Construction
The Customs Street/Albert Street intersection piling and road deck construction comprises piling and construction of a temporary deck structure that permits traffic to cross over the tunnel construction underneath. The deck will be constructed in four stages as shown in Figure 9. The construction of these four stages will take approximately 10 months to complete. Once all four portions of the deck are complete, it is envisaged that Customs Street will be closed in its entirety for two night shifts in order to install the permanent pavement and line marking.

Trench Excavation and Spoil Handling
Trench excavation and spoil handling will occur along Albert Street from approximately 20m south of Wyndham Street to the northern side of Customs Street. At Customs Street this excavation will be performed underneath the completed bridge deck. Temporary works required to undertake the excavation works include installing longitudinal waler beams and transverse struts in combination with ground anchors to support the piled trench walls as the excavation progresses. As a general principle, the trench excavation will be carried out in layers as shown in Figure 10 with installation of temporary struts and ground anchors as the depth increases. The programme of excavation will be structured in such a way as to aim to complete full depth excavation at the southern end of the site first, allowing tunnel construction works to commence from the southern end.

Upon completion of the full depth of excavation, the preparation works for the tunnel construction will commence while the excavation works continue to remove the material under the Customs Street intersection. The excavation will be completed at the southern end of the trench first, and tunnel construction will begin at that end while excavation is still proceeding at the northern end. 5.1.3.6
Waterproofing and Tunnel Construction
The construction of the rail tunnels will be a rolling process with multiple work faces progressing simultaneously. The tunnel works will start at the southern end of Albert Street when the excavation plant is clear of the base of the tunnel. Continuous Traffic Deck A Continuous Construction Traffic Deck will be installed along the eastern side of Albert Street during the piling and capping stage of construction (Figure 8). The continuous construction traffic deck will provide continuous access into the excavation along the length of the trench. It will also provide additional construction site space in addition to the southern and northern compound areas. Key construction tasks which will take place along the Continuous Construction Traffic Deck including:
Spoil loading into trucks;
Delivery of backfill material;
Mobile concrete pumping; and

Trench Backfilling
The trench backfill will be placed on top of the tunnel structure after construction has been completed for a sufficient length (approximately 50m), including the installation of the waterproofing membrane, and will continue to follow the tunnel construction as it progresses. A layer of concrete blinding (or similar) will be placed over the roof membrane for protection from the trench backfill works. Material will be delivered to site by trucks on the construction deck. Trucks will deposit the fill material onto the floor of the deck structure and it will be collected and tipped into the trench by a loader. The construction of the new permanent road pavement will occur in stages after the trench backfill has been completed. 5.1.4
Earthworks
The Project requires significant earthworks as a result of the cut and cover method. Earthworks resource consent has already been granted (R/REG/2014/5430). An Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) has been developed and mitigates the effects associated with Project Earthworks. The effects associated with the construction traffic are mitigated through the Transport, Access and Parking DWP. The majority of the earthworks are associated with trench excavation and backfilling activities. In total, 2 2 2 85,000m in cut, and 48,000m in fill is expected to be excavated or filled over 6,800m (Table 2). The Project works are comprised of Active Construction Zones (ACZ) D and E, which were identified during the resource consenting process for the CRL enabling works (Britomart to Wyndham, and includes the above referenced consent). These zones have been used for this OP to delineate the proposed construction methodology for different areas of work. ACZ D is the area where the Customs Street intersection piling and road deck construction is located, and ACZ E is the length of Albert street where the piling and tunnel construction is located (Figure 12 and see Section 5.1.3 construction methodology). Due to the limited foot print available for the Project, it is anticipated that all material excavated will be disposed of off-site. However to ensure works can occur continuously, provision has been made for temporary stockpiling of small volumes within the ACZ. The Project construction methodology expects trench excavation to take approximately 11 months (Dec 2016 – Nov 2017), and Trench Backfilling to take 12 months (August 2017 – August 2018).

5.2
LOCATION OF THE WORKS ON THE SITE The location of the works will be within NOR 1, as shown in Figure 2. The proposed works are located within the existing Albert Street Road reserve. Plans showing the site layout are included in Appendix D.
5.3
LIKELY FINISHED CONTOUR OF THE SITE Appendix G details the proposed likely finished contour of the site. The general height, shape and bulk of the construction works will result in the reinstatement of the road reserve to a similar state to the current road reserve, i.e. two lanes for traffic in each direction, and a footpath on either side of the carriageway. An appropriate urban design treatment is still being developed, and an Urban Design DWP will be finalised and submitted to Auckland Council prior to the Customs Street/Albert Street reinstatement works commencing. Reinstatement of the road reserve will be in accordance with the Auckland Transport Code of Practice (ATCoP). The effects on the traffic environment are described in more detail in Section 6.1 of this OP.
5.4
VEHICULAR ACCESS, CIRCULATION AND PARKING Access to the site will be from the surrounding road network. Access to all properties adjacent to the Project on Albert Street will be maintained at all times. Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times through a minimum 1.5m footpath on either side of Albert Street. A Transport, Access and Parking Delivery Work Plan (TAP DWP) is included as part of this OP and outlines the effects and mitigation measures associated with both construction and general traffic.
5.5
LANDSCAPING PROPOSED An appropriate urban design treatment is still being developed, and an Urban Design DWP will be finalised and submitted to Auckland Council prior to the Customs Street/Albert Street re-instatement works commencing. The re-instatement works will comprise both hard and soft landscape treatments, including paving and replacement planting to mitigate the effects of tree removal required by the CRL construction. Any landscaping as part of the urban realm works will be undertaken in accordance with

future urban design work for the corridor that will occur at a later stage of the CRL Project. This will ensure continuity of urban design across the full length of the CRL Project.
5.6
TIMING OF WORKS The timing of the Project is dependent on the approval of this OP. It is anticipated the Project will begin in May 2016 and continue until January 2019, taking approximately 33 months to complete. To ensure construction works are undertaken as quickly and efficiently as possible, the construction sequence activities are performed in parallel e.g. trench backfilling will commence at the South end of the project once tunnel construction has progressed for a length of at least 50m, and at the same time, trench excavation and tunnel construction will be occurring at the northern end. A construction programme for the Project is included in Appendix E.

6 ANY OTHER MATTERS TO AVOID, REMEDY OR MITIGATE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT The CEMP and DWP suite has been developed to provide a comprehensive framework for the management of environmental effects during the project. Each DWP fulfils the requirements of the relevant designation conditions in order to avoid, remedy or mitigate any adverse effects on the environment or the potential of such occurring. The CEMP provides an overview of the management framework as well as providing general management protocol and procedures which will be implemented during the project. The DWPs provide specific detail regarding the particular type of effect each plan has been developed to address. Both the CEMP and DWP suite have undergone a review process in their preparation and will be subject to ongoing annual reviews to ensure they remain relevant to the Project and Project construction activities.
6.1
EFFECTS ON THE TRAFFIC ENVIRONMENT 6.1.1
Description
Various construction activities will result in disruption to the existing traffic network and environment for the duration of the Project. Mitigation of the effects from the Project on the transport network has been developed to meet the requirements of the CRL designation conditions, Auckland Transport Code of Practice (ATCoP) and Code of Practice for Temporary Traffic Management (CoPTTM; NZTA). 6.1.2
Potential Effects
Disruption to the transport network during the Project has the potential to result in adverse effects on transport, pedestrian safety and amenity, parking and property access. The transport network may also be subject to cumulative effects of the Project, a reduction in general traffic capacity for private, public and active transport, and traffic congestion uncertainty. 6.1.3
Mitigation Measures
Effects on the traffic environment will be mitigated through the TAP DWP submitted as part of this OP. The TAP DWP provides for the connectivity and access described in the designation conditions wherever and whenever possible, particularly for main road movements. Pedestrian and cycle access to properties along Albert Street adjacent to the construction of the Project will be maintained at all times. An 8m small rigid truck has been provided for as a minimum design vehicle for turning movements along Albert Street, whilst critical turn movements (such as the Customs, Victoria and Wellesley Street intersections with Albert Street) will be able to provide for a 12.6m tour coach. Access to the Mills – Swanson Street loop will be provided at all times for an 11.5m medium rigid truck.

Albert Street, Lower Albert Street and the section of Customs Street between Hobson Street and Queen Street will be established as 30km/hr zones for the duration of the Project. Further mitigation measures include changes to traffic signals, road markings and signs, and pavements. Contingency planning and Travel Demand Management is also utilised within the TAP DWP, along with consideration for private property access and Project site access.
6.2
EFFECTS OF CONSTRUCTION NOISE 6.2.1
Description
Various construction processes and pieces of equipment will act as noise sources on site. Construction activities associated with the works will be undertaken to ensure that construction noise complies New Zealand Standard NZS6803:1999 “Acoustics – Construction Noise”. Construction noise will be managed to comply with the Project Standards (unless otherwise provided for in an approved Site Specific Construction Noise Management Plan (SSCNMP)). Some construction activities are predicted to generate high levels of vibration including piling, excavation, compaction and breaking. 6.2.2
Potential Effects
During the Project, construction noise could potentially cause discomfort and inconvenience to adjacent businesses and residents. The level of noise generated by the Project will be dependent on the type of activity undertaken at any given time (such as utilities relocation, or trench excavation). Construction noise effects will be temporary and will generally occur between 7am and 7pm Monday to Saturday. 6.2.3
Mitigation Measures
Mitigation measures for construction noise are outlined in detailed in the CNV DWP. Site Specific Construction Noise and Vibration Management Plans (SSCNVMP) have also been developed for each Notable Noise and Vibration Receivers (in accordance with condition 16.1 of the designation). Where construction noise Project Standards cannot be met, a SSCNMP will be implemented to mitigate the effects. Best Practicable Option (BPO) mitigation will be implemented throughout the construction programme to avoid exceedances of the Project noise criteria as specified in the CRL designation conditions (Table 3).

Activities such as piling and road cutting will be restricted to between the hours of 7am to 7pm, Monday to Saturday. In the event that road cutting occurs outside of these hours due to utilities relocation, a noise enclosure will be implemented around the works to mitigate noise to levels that meet the ‘night-time’ noise requirements. If any construction activity cannot practicably comply with these limits, a SSCNMP will be produced. Other mitigation measures include training, careful selection of construction equipment, scheduling of activities to avoid particularly sensitive times for affected receivers, reducing construction traffic noise, and using construction equipment in an effective manner.
6.3
EFFECTS OF CONSTRUCTION VIBRATION 6.3.1
Description
Some construction activities are predicted to generate high levels of vibration including piling, excavation, compaction and breaking. Construction vibration associated with the works will be measured and assessed in accordance with German Standards DIN 4150-3:1999 “Structural Vibration – Part 3 Effects of Vibration on Structures”. Construction vibration will be managed to comply with the Project Standards for building damage (unless otherwise provided for in an approved Site Specific Construction Vibration Management Plan (SSCVMP)). 6.3.2
Potential Effects
During the Project, construction vibration could potentially cause building damage. The level of vibration generated by the Project will be dependent on the type of activity undertaken at any given time (such as utilities relocation, or trench excavation). Construction vibration will be temporary and will generally occur between 7am and 7pm Monday to Saturday. 6.3.3
Mitigation Measures
Mitigation measures for construction vibration are detailed in the Project CNV DWP. Site Specific Construction Noise and Vibration Management Plans (SSCNVMP) have also been developed for each Notable Noise and Vibration Receivers (in accordance with condition 16.1 of the designation). Where construction vibration Project Standards cannot be met, a SSCVMP will be implemented to mitigate the effects. Best Practicable Option (BPO) mitigation will be implemented throughout the construction programme to avoid exceedances of the vibration criteria whereby between the hours of 7am and 10pm vibration generated by construction activities (excluding blasting) shall not exceed: a) A Peak Particle Velocity (PPV) of 1mm/s as measured on the floor of the receiving room for residentially occupied habitable rooms, bedrooms in temporary accommodation and medical facilities; and b) A Peak Particle Velocity (PPV) of 2mm/s as measured on the floor of the receiving room for retail and office spaces (including work areas and meeting rooms) During the hours of 10pm and 7am vibration generated by construction activities (excluding blasting) shall not exceed: a) a Peak Particle Velocity (PPV) of 0.3mm/s when measured at any part of the floor of any bedroom; b) a noise level of 35 dB LAeq(15min) when measured in any bedroom.

Designation Condition 34.3 states that the limits identified above need only be investigated and applied upon the receipt of a complaint from any building occupant. They shall not be applied where there is no concern from the occupant of the building. When a complaint occurs, and the limits are found (through measurement) to be exceeded then a SSCVMP shall be prepared for that receiver. Mitigation measures include training, scheduling of activities to avoid particularly sensitive times for affected receivers, and using construction equipment in an effective manner.
6.4
EFFECTS ON INFRASTRUCTURE 6.4.1
Description
A number of utilities (such as power, water, or communications) are located within the footprint of the Project and will be in conflict with Project construction activities. The locations of all network utilities in the Project area have been identified. Discussions and consultation with Network Utility Operators is ongoing with regard to the protection and relocation of utilities in conflict with Project construction. 6.4.2
Potential Effects
Potential effects to utilities include damage to utilities, particularly previously unidentified utilities and disruption to the Network Utilities. 6.4.3
Mitigation Measures
A risk analysis for the relocation and rebuild on existing Network Utilities during the construction of the Project is located in Appendix U of the Project CEMP. Prior to Project construction, Connectus has carried out detailed design and planning in conjunction with the relevant Network Utility Providers in order to manage and mitigate this risk. Should unknown services be encountered during service relocation works, this will be dealt with on a case by case basis. There will be regular communication between onsite personnel and service providers throughout construction to ensure these situations are managed effectively and efficiently. An emergency response procedure for each of the different utilities has been outlined (in Appendix N of the Project CEMP). These will be made available to all sub-contractors and posted on notice boards around site to ensure all relevant personnel on site are aware of the emergency response procedures involving exiting utility networks.
6.5
EFFECTS ON ARCHAEOLOGY 6.5.1
Description
The Project involves excavation to a depth of up to 20 metres which has the potential to impact on areas of cultural and archaeological significance. The only known archaeological site in the vicinity of the works is in an area of historic reclamation dated 1875-1877 (recorded as R11/2752) around the th Albert Street/Customs Street intersection, where 19 century artefacts, early seawalls and other structures may be exposed.

Connectus Project #: 2665 Client: Auckland Transport
6.5.2
Outline Plan Doc. No. CRL-PAT-ENV-CON-PLN-001198 Revision: 3, Date: 01 June 2016
Potential Effects
During the Project, construction activities could impact on known archaeological sites. In addition, accidental discovery of archaeological remains could occur while the Project Archaeologist is not present. 6.5.3
Mitigation Measures
Mitigation measures for the potential effects on archaeology from the Project are detailed in the Project HC DWP (Appendix F of the Project CEMP). Monitoring of all open excavations required for the project will be carried out by the Project th Archaeologist, to determine whether pre-1900 or significant early 20 century archaeological remains are present. Mana Whenua representatives will also be present as cultural monitors, as agreed with AT. Monitoring will continue until the natural deposits have been reached (where excavations are continued to this depth), or until it becomes clear that the area has been modified to the point where no archaeology would be expected. If suspected archaeological remains are encountered and the Project Archaeologist is not present, works will stop in the immediate vicinity of the find until the Project Archaeologist can assess the site.
6.6
EFFECTS ON BUILT HERITAGE 6.6.1
Description
Some construction activities are predicted to generate high levels of vibration, which has the potential to impact on buildings identified as built heritage by Auckland Council (AC) and Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga (HNZPT). The location of identified built heritage that has the potential to be affected by the Project is listed in the HC DWP (Appendix F of the Project CEMP). Building condition surveys have also been undertaken to assess the current structural integrity of the buildings prior to construction commencing. 6.6.2
Potential Effects
Construction activities that generate vibration, ground movement or water ingress has the potential to adversely affect the integrity of the structure of an identified built heritage building through structural distress and non-structural damage. 6.6.3
Mitigation Measures
Mitigation measures for the potential effects from the Project on Built Heritage are detailed in the HC DWP. Pre- and post- construction surveys will be undertaken to ascertain any pre-existing damage, existing structural distress, and any potential weakness of the structure’s foundations or structural elements, as well as non-structural damage. Monitoring prior to and during construction will also occur to measure any movement, settlement, tilt, strain, and induced vibrations as a result of excavation and construction works which may have the potential of causing an adverse effect on the structure.

SOCIAL IMPACTS AND BUSINESS DISRUPTION 6.7.1
Description
The scale and duration of the Project has the potential to have adverse social impacts and create disruption to businesses adjacent to the Project construction area. Affected parties have been identified in the Project SIBD DWP (Appendix D of the Project CEMP) that is submitted as part of this OP. Consultation has also been undertaken with affected parties to understand the potential impacts that may affect each party, and any specific requirements they may have (such as access during certain hours of the day, or particular sensitivity to noise at certain times). 6.7.2
Potential Effects
The Project has the potential to disrupt access to residential buildings and businesses along Albert Street adjacent to the Project, which has the potential to reduce amenity for residents and also result in a loss of customers to businesses. The Project can disturb parties through noise and vibration, traffic disruption, severance between the sides of Albert Street, and dust. 6.7.3
Mitigation Measures
Mitigation measures for the potential social impacts and business disruption arising from the Project are detailed within the SIBD DWP. An Implementation Plan will be instigated through the SIBD DWP and will be utilised to mitigate the Social Impact and Business Disruption of the Project. In addition, the social effects of Project construction will be mitigated through the Project DWPs submitted as part of this OP (such as the AQ DWP, CNV DWP and SSCNVMPs, and TAP DWP), Project Management Plans and through the CRL designation and resource consent conditions. Specific mitigation measures for affected parties’ concerns are also outlined in the SIBD DWP, and have been developed in consultation with the affected parties.
6.8
EFFECTS OF CONTAMINATION 6.8.1
Description
The Project involves construction activities that will result in the disturbance, removal of soil up to a depth of 42m and infill to complete the subgrade as part of surface reinstatement. No HAIL sites are identified within the Project area and soil quality data indicates that the fill material may be suitable for disposal at a managed fill facility. However, contaminated fill could be encountered within the Project footprint which may not be suitable for use as managed fill. Previous assessment of the soil (Golder, 2014) indicates that the natural soils below the fill can be classified as cleanfill. Therefore, if the fill/natural soil interface can be delineated, the fill could be excavated and removed as contaminated or potentially contaminated soil, leaving the natural soils to be excavated under less rigorous environmental management. 6.8.2
Potential Effects
Project construction activities have the potential to disturb contaminated materials and also result in discharges from the construction support areas to land or water. In addition material is required to be
Page 38
Connectus Project #: 2665 Client: Auckland Transport
Outline Plan Doc. No. CRL-PAT-ENV-CON-PLN-001198 Revision: 3, Date: 01 June 2016
removed from site into an appropriately licenced facility. There is the potential that fill is incorrectly identified or classified from the Project site and delivered to the wrong facility. 6.8.3
Mitigation Measures
Mitigation of the potential effects from Contamination is detailed in the Project CDWP. These measures include minimising land disturbance areas, covering and bunding temporary stockpiles or material, diverting surface water from construction zones (and treating surface water that does collect within the construction area), loading soil identified for off-site disposal directly onto trucks, managing groundwater, and implementing dust control measures. Correct identification and classification is outlined as a review process within the Project CDWP to ensure the correct facility is utilised.

EFFECTS ON TREES AND VEGETATION 6.9.1
Description
The scope and extent of the Project will result in the removal of the majority of the trees located in proximity to the Project. However, most of the affected trees are exotic street trees and there are no scheduled trees within the Project area or in proximity to it. Within the Project area, Albert Street is primarily planted as an evergreen magnolia lined-avenue. Where trees are in the path of construction works, consideration has been given to transplanting the trees to a new location instead of cutting them down. However, site investigations have shown that the root balls of many trees are tangled with underground utilities (power, water, communications, sewage etc.). As a result, it is impractical and unsafe to attempt to extract an intact root ball. 6.9.2
Potential Effects
The construction of the Project can result in an adverse effect on the local treescape if mitigation measures are not implemented. The trees that are not required to be removed could also be negatively affected by construction activities. 6.9.3
Mitigation Measures
Mitigation of the potential effects from tree removal resulting from the Project is outlined in the Project TV DWP (Appendix L of the Project CEMP). Replacement planting will be required for all trees that are required to be removed and will be implemented through a replanting plan as part of the Project Urban Design Delivery Work Plan. This includes replanting of trees at a ratio of at least 1:1 (with a minimum grade of 45L), area reinstatement and the opportunity to include appropriate native species as part of the replacement landscape plantings. Health of trees not required to be removed will be monitored regularly by the Site Manager as part of their weekly inspection. Some remaining trees will have protection fences erected between construction works and the tree, and any tree pruning required will be kept to a minimum and will be undertaken by a qualified and experienced Arborist.

6.10 EFFECTS ON GROUNDWATER 6.10.1 Description Construction activities may generate changes or disruptions to the current water table during phases of the project that require dewatering or excavation, such as the trench excavation. 6.10.2 Potential Effects Damage to buildings in proximity to the Project can occur as a result of settlement, as well as to existing utilities that are not adequately supported during the construction phase of the Project. 6.10.3 Mitigation Measures Mitigation of the potential effects from groundwater disruption will be outlined in the Project GSMCP and includes extensive monitoring requirements prior, during and after the Project. It will also outline the process for building condition surveys in order to understand the effects of groundwater drawdown and settlement on buildings in proximity to the Project. Stop Work Trigger levels are established within the plan as well as a robust Response, Mitigation and Contingency Plan. The GSMCP is not a specific requirement of the OP process and as such will not be submitted as part of the CEMP associated with this OP. As per the conditions of the regional consents the GSMCP will be submitted to AC for certification at least 20 working days prior to commencement of dewatering.
6.11 EFFECTS ON AIR QUALITY 6.11.1 Description Construction activities may generate discharges of dust, odour and hazardous air pollutants. The main discharge to air arising from construction activities is particulate matter (dust) and may be generated from drilling holes for piling, road breaking, excavation and spoil removal, storage of spoil and fill, batching grout for jet grouting, movement of vehicles in the trench, and backfilling of the trench. In addition, there will also be discharges of combustion related air pollutants from mobile plant and diesel generators. These include oxides of nitrogen (nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2)), carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile organic compounds (VOC). 6.11.2 Potential Effects Construction activities from the Project have the potential to generate dust and odour. This can include offensive or objectionable dust or odour affecting sites or parties beyond the designation boundary, or hazardous air pollutants that cause, or are likely to cause, adverse effects on human health, environment or property. The main discharge to air arising from the construction activities is particulate matter (dust). In addition, there will also be discharges of combustion related air pollutants from mobile plant and diesel generators. These include oxides of nitrogen (NO and NO 2), CO and VOC. 6.11.3 Mitigation Measures Mitigation of the potential effects on air quality is detailed in the Project AQ DWP (Appendix H of the Project CEMP).

Connectus Project #: 2665 Client: Auckland Transport
Outline Plan Doc. No. CRL-PAT-ENV-CON-PLN-001198 Revision: 3, Date: 01 June 2016
Monitoring will be used as the primary method to mitigate effects on air quality. Dust control will include targeted ambient dust monitoring, good management of the construction areas and focus on pre-emptive measures to avoid significant dust emissions. Odour monitoring will be undertaken when it is considered likely that odorous material will be encountered (such as the excavation of contaminated materials) during excavations. Specific dust mitigation will include utilising windbreaks around stockpiles, limiting vehicle speeds, limiting disturbance and exposure of soil, temporary stabilisation of unpaved road surfaces, managing surface moisture, and removing excavated spoil from site on a regular basis. Odour mitigation techniques will include limiting the time that odorous material is exposed, removing the material from site as quickly as possible, and the use of odour masking agents, chemical counteractants or digestive deodorant sprays. Vehicle exhaust discharges will be mitigated through a requirement in the AQDWP that construction machinery must operate in accordance with manufacturers requirements and ensuring vehicles are not left idling while parked or unattended (unless warm-up or turbo maintenance procedures require it).

7 OTHER MATTERS 7.1
MONITORING
Scheduled monitoring of environmental performance and compliance with designation and resource consent conditions is required throughout the construction phase of the Project to ensure that no adverse impact on the environment occurs. The specifics of monitoring for each environmental element are detailed in the individual sub-plans, including any monitoring requirements, 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 will be conducted on a routine basis. However, 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. 7.1.1
Environmental Inspections
Weekly Environmental Compliance Inspections are conducted by the Environment and Sustainability Manager (or delegate). The findings of the Inspection are recorded on a Site Inspection Environmental and Sustainability Checklist – Weekly (CONCRL-EC2-ENV-FRM-000598), in which required remedial actions are also recorded, including a responsibility and timeline for completion. These shall be monitored to ensure that they are closed out in the required time frame.

8 CONCLUSION Section 176A of the RMA requires an OP that sets out the details of any proposed works on a designated site to be submitted to the local authority. This is in order for the local authority to be able to request any changes prior to the commencement of those works. This requirement is met by this OP. Auckland Transport seeks that the Auckland Council endorses this OP without modification pursuant to s.176A of the Resource Management Act 1991.

This testing shall only be undertaken outside of Sensitive Times. 40.4 All high noise plant and machinery to be used at a location where it is predicted to generate noise levels in excess of 3 dB below the limits specified in Condition 35.2 shall be tested prior to use, to determine its Sound Power Level (L w) at a sufficient distance from the MediaWorks building to ensure compliance. These measured Lws shall be used to predict the noise level at the MediaWorks building faรงade(s) from proposed construction scenarios. The faรงade TL (refer Condition 40.2) shall then be applied to predict the noise levels in the relevant rooms. 40.5 All high noise plant and machinery may not be used until Condition 40.4 is satisfied, taking into account the cumulative noise levels from active sources on the site. 40.6 The Requiring Authority and its contractor, in conjunction with a suitably qualified expert, shall work collaboratively with MediaWorks during the preparation of a SSCNVMP to confirm the extent and management of adverse effects on MediaWorks. 40.7 The SSCNVMP shall set out the requirements for monitoring, the number of monitors, the instrument location, any adjustments necessary if a proxy position is required and any other procedures or requirements that are necessary. The data shall be available in real time to the Requiring Authority, Auckland Council and MediaWorks. 40.8 Prior to the use of any high vibration equipment to be used at a location where it is predicted to generate vibration levels greater than 75% of the PPV vibration limits in Condition 35.3, 35.6, 35.7 and 35.8, or reradiated noise within 3 decibels of the limits in Condition 35.2, the Requiring Authority shall undertake vibration measurements at a sufficient distance from the MediaWorks building to ensure compliance, applying the transfer function required by Condition 40.3 to assess reradiated noise. These measurements shall be used to determine minimum set-back distances from the building to avoid potential exceedances of the vibration limits in Conditions 35.2, 35.3, 35.67, 35.7 and 35.8. The results of the testing and the outcomes affecting construction operations shall be set out in the SSCNVMP. 40.9 The noise and vibration levels from construction shall be monitored to determine compliance with conditions 35.2, 35.3, 35.6, 35.7 35.8 and 35.89 continuously by automated noise and vibration monitors located at positions that will represent the noise and vibration level in the relevant spaces and for the relevant noise and vibration limits. The SSCNVMP shall set out the requirements for monitoring, the instrument location, any adjustments necessary if a proxy position is required and any other procedures or requirements that are necessary including methods to exclude extraneous sources.

development in relation to the implementation and interpretation of the Principles set out under Condition 47, and particularly in relation to the mana whenua principles set out below: (i) Mana / Rangatiratanga – As the original local authorities of Tamaki Makaurau, Iwi require high level Treaty based relationships with all key stakeholders including the Requiring Authority and Auckland Council which recognise their Tangata Whenua status in order to fulfil their roles as kaitiaki. Such partnership relationships can then inform engagement with AT / Council at all levels including direct involvement with design consortia. Relationships are required at governance and senior management levels. Such relationships are a precursor to actualising the other 6 principles. (ii) Whakapapa – Names and genealogical connections– reviving names revives mana through Iwi connections to specific ancestors and events / narratives associated with them. An Iwi inventory of names associated with a given site can be developed so that the most appropriate names are identified to develop design, interpretation and artistic responses. (iii) Tohu – Acknowledging the wider significant Iwi cultural land marks associated with the CRL route and their ability to inform the design of the station precincts, entrances and exits. In particular exploring opportunities to maximise view shafts to such tohu / landmarks as a way of both enhancing cultural landscape connections and as way finding / location devices. (iv) Taiao – Exploring opportunities to bring natural landscape elements back into urban /modified areas e.g. specific native trees, water / puna wai (springs) – promoting bird, insect and aquatic life to create meaningful urban eco systems which connect with former habitats, mahinga kai (food gathering areas) and living sites. (v) Mauri tu – Ensuring emphasis on maintaining or enhancing environmental health / life essence of the wider site – in particular focusing on the quality of wai / water (puna / springs), whenua / soil and air. In particular any puna or underground waterways encountered should be carefully treated with Mana Whenua assistance to ensure their mauri is respected and enhanced where possible. It is also important to minimise the disturbance to Papatuanuku through carefully planned ground works. (vi) Mahi toi – Harnessing the Creative dimension through drawing on names and local tohu to develop strategies to creatively re-inscribe iwi narratives into architecture, interior design, landscape, urban design and public art. (vii) Ahi kaa – need to explore opportunities to facilitate living presences for iwi / hapu to resume ahi-kaa and kaitiaki roles in and around the CRL route and new station precincts; and (b) A summary of the engagement with mana whenua (see Condition 15) and identification of where design has incorporated the mana whenua principles and other mana whenua aspirations.

station/s; (b) How the above ground and below ground design of the stations has taken into account the following principles: (i) Overarching - stations should achieve a successful and memorable transport experience. (ii) Function - stations will provide safe, functional and clear transport solutions. (iii) Performance - stations will provide a credible, sustainable design outcome that responds to climate, site and social economics. (iv) Personality - stations will provide an expression that contributes to their context and local identity and will respond to an appropriate network wide identity. (v) Existing and New Building Structures. (vi) Built Heritage:
Where built heritage is required for City Rail Link station requirements, adaptive reuse strategies should be considered to preserve the building’s role in establishing the streetscape and urban character. The development of new buildings and structures should minimise impact on, and disturbance of, Built heritage listed by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust or the Auckland Council District Plan that play a significant role in establishing the streetscape and urban character of the local area. (vii) Bulk, Scale and Massing:
Bulk, scale and massing of structures resulting from the City Rail Link (station buildings in particular) should be sympathetic with the surrounding built urban form. Aotea Station building frontages should correspond with the road reserve boundary unless a specific station plaza area is intended. Karangahape Road station building(s) should be sensitively designed so as to contribute positively and to complement the good public realm and urban form qualities that currently exist in this area of Karangahape Road, Pitt Street and the upper end of Beresford Street. The redevelopment of land acquired for the Newton Station provides the opportunity for a continuous active building frontage to correspond with the road reserve boundary, providing: This does not conflict with the operation requirements of the station; or Unless a specific station plaza area is intended.
(viii) Active Frontage – Structures resulting from the City Rail Link should present an active frontage towards public spaces like streets, squares, pedestrian walkways or station plaza areas provided that this doesn’t conflict with the operation requirements of the station. : Where no active frontage is proposed, an explanation of the reasons shall be outlined in the Urban Design DWP. (ix) Weather Protection – Where practicable, station entrances should provide some weather protection along their frontage (e.g. verandahs, awnings, canopies etc.) and these should be considered as part of the design. (x) Adaptability – The design of structures resulting from the City Rail Link should be able to adapt to change over time (e.g. change of uses, innovations in technology etc.) where reasonably practicable and anticipate opportunities (e.g. additional entrances) that may become possible in the future. The station design should

not inhibit wider development opportunities (e.g. above or around station entrances). (xi) Identity – The design of the station entrances should provide an expression that reflects their respective context and local cultural identity. They could reflect, respond and/or interpret local characteristics like natural or Mana Whenua heritage, history, art, particular traits of the local community and unique architectural and urban forms of the area. (xii) Construction Quality – The design and construction of structures resulting from the City Rail Link (station buildings in particular) should be of a quality that lasts over time. Materials should be selected that are highly durable, elegant and vandal resistant where they come into contact with patrons. (xiii) Mana Whenua Principles – see Condition 49. (c) How these principles have been used to guide and influence the design, and how the design has responded, or otherwise, to these principles and initiatives; and (d) A summary of the engagement with mana whenua (see Condition 15) and identification of where design has incorporated the mana whenua principles and other mana whenua aspirations into station design.

5.5 Any proposal for physical works or activities within the designation shall be provided to the Requiring Authority and will be assessed on the following: (a) Building height, size, mass and proximity to the CRL structures; (b) Foundation and basement designs; (c) Geotechnical conditions; (d) Separation between the CRL structures and the proposed development; (e) Nature of the activities including methods and staging of construction; (f) The predicted loading change on the CRL structures resulting from the development; and (g) Any other relevant information necessary to determine the likelihood and extent of any adverse effect that may occur as a result of the proposed development. These factors will also be relevant considerations in the drawback of the designation as provided for in Condition 3.1. 5.6 That assessment shall be peer reviewed by an independent certified engineer, paid for by the Requiring Authority, and the findings supplied to the landowner/ developer and the Auckland Council for information.
