1 Introduction

This Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) is submitted in support of the Outline Plan and Resource Consent application to Auckland Council (AC) for the realignment of a stormwater main which currently runs along Nikau Street in the suburb of Mount Eden in Auckland.

City Rail Link Ltd, as the requiring authority, currently holds a designation for the construction of the City Rail Link (CRL) project (and the relocation of utilities) for these works. Some work areas required for this stormwater realignment sit outside the designation. This CEMP covers all works both inside and outside the existing CRL designation.

The Nikau Street Stormwater Main Realignment (the Project) involves the construction of a replacement stormwater main to move it westward towards the existing railway line. The current alignment of the stormwater main conflicts with the proposed alignment for the CRL rail tunnels and needs to be relocated to enable construction of the tunnels.

The realigned stormwater main will be constructed using the pipe jacking method, where pipes are horizontally driven between vertical shafts Figure 1 shows the proposed route for the CRL, and Figure 2 shows the extent of the Nikau Street Stormwater Main Realignment works.

The Project also requires the installation of three Gross Pollutant Traps (GPT’s). These GPTs will be located within the road reserve, with two GPT’s being located on Boston Road and one on Normanby Road (Figure 3).

The development and implementation of this CEMP and Sub-Plans is required by the CRL designation conditions. AC will certify this CEMP prior to the commencement of construction, at which point compliance with the CEMP is mandatory. Construction will not commence on site until certification of this CEMP is obtained from AC.

This CEMP was prepared by Aurecon for CRLL in early 2017 for the reference design stage and was approved by AC as part of the original resource consent and outline plan process. The reference design stormwater alignment that the original CEMP was based on is shown in blue at Figure 2 below.

The CEMP has now been updated by the Contractor, March Bessac Joint Venture (MBJV), as its operational document to reflect the revised construction design and methodology. The MBJV amended alignment is shown in red in Figure 2 below. A revised project description incorporating the updates to the design and construction methodology is provided for in Appendix L to replace all project descriptions in the various delivery work plans.

The CEMP provides the overarching framework for the management of construction effects associated with the Project. Further Sub-Plans are included as appendices to the CEMP. These Sub-Plans detail the specific environmental management controls for particular aspects of the Project.

1.1 Purpose of the CEMP

The purpose of the CEMP is to confirm the Project construction details and staging of works and to set out how construction activities will be carried out and managed as far as is reasonably practical to avoid, remedy or mitigate adverse effects on the environment

This CEMP demonstrates that the works remain within the limits of the CRL designation and associated resource consents (for which, and application has been submitted along with this CEMP)

The CEMP will ensure that appropriate environmental management practices are followed during the Project’s construction phase. The CEMP will be implemented throughout the entire construction period (approximately 13 months) for the Project, and updated as necessary.

Overall, implementation of this CEMP willensure:

 Appropriate management of adverse environmental effects associated with construction of the Project;

 Compliance with the relevant designation conditions of the CRL designation and any resource consents;

 Compliance with environmental legislation; and

 Achievement of the Project’s environmental and sustainability objectives.

Figure 3 Gross Pollutant Trap locations

The CEMP and Sub-Plans will be reviewed at least annually or as a result of a material change to the Project, or to address unforeseen adverse effects arising from construction or unresolved complaints 1 The CEMP and Sub-Plans are required to be prepared in consultation with the Community Liaison Group (CLG) for the Project. Additionally, the CEMP and Delivery Work Plans (DWP) have undergone independent peer review prior to submission to AC. Comments received from the CLG and independent peer review process have been (where applicable and appropriate) incorporated in the CEMP and Sub-Plans, with an explanation being provided where any comments have not been incorporated. A record of consultation outcomes (CLG and independent peer review) for this CEMP is provided in Appendix J; a record of specific consultation outcomes is included in each relevant sub plan.

The CEMP has been updated (revision 9) by MBJV following Contract 6 award to reflect the revised construction design and methodology. The updates are considered non-material for the purposes of the CRL Designation conditions. As a result, the updates do not require further CLG, Mana Whenua or independent peer review input

The updated CEMP (revision 9) supersedes the existing CEMP, revision 8, for the C6 works and will support the section 127 resource consent application process and outline plan waiver request

1.2 CEMP Structure and Context

The CEMP is an overarching document and provides the framework for managing adverse environmental effects during construction of the Project. The principles and general approach to managing the environmental effects are set out in the CEMP. The CEMP includes details of personnel responsible for the implementation of environmental management and mitigation measures. The CEMP identifies the proposed construction methodology for each component of the works and presents a framework of principles, environmental policy, objectives and performance standards as well as processes for implementing appropriate environmental management.

1.2.1 CEMP Requirements

The CRL designation requires that a CEMP be submitted to AC with the Outline Plan, along with the Communication and Consultation Plan (CCP), Delivery Works Plans (DWP) and Site Specific Construction Noise and Vibration Management Plans (if required) 2

Where specific requirements and objectives are not addressed by the Sub-Plans, the CEMP includes measures to give effect to these.

1.2.2 Works outside the Designation

The extent of works outside the designation are limited to:

 The Water Street shaft, Water Street Construction Support Area (CSA) and approximately 55m of underground pipe (refer Figure 4); and

 A small section of the Mt Eden Access Shaft and CSA sits outside the designation and within the adjacent KiwiRail designation (refer Figure 4).

 Two GPT’s to be installed on Boundary Road (within the road reserve) (Figure 5)

The original proposed works have been consented. A section 127 variation to these resource consents is sought for the revised MBJV construction design and methodology (see section 2 for further detail)

1 Designation condition 22

2 Designation condition 10

In addition to managing environment effects within the designation, this CEMP also describes how effects will be managed in areas of the Project that fall outside the designation. A comprehensive approach to the management of actual or potential construction effects, irrespective of the location of the Designation boundary, is appropriate as it enables consistent environmental performance across the Project.

1.3 Environmental Sub-Plans

The management of specific environmental effects during construction is addressed through the development and implementation of a suite of Delivery Works Plans (DWP), Management Plans (MP) and Site Specific Management Plans (SSMP) required by the CRL designation

The DWP’s, MP’s and SSMP’s are collectively referred to as ‘Sub-Plans’ throughout this CEMP. The Sub-Plans relevant to these works are identified in Figure 6 and Table 1 and form appendices to the CEMP

Figure 4 Project footprint showing works outside the designation at Water Street (in orange)

Figure 5 GPT locations outside the Designation on Boston Road.

These Sub-Plans cover all works associated with the Project including those which fall outside the designation.

A number of Sub-Plans have been updated following Contract 6 award to reflect the MBJV construction design and methodology.

Section 4.5 & Appendix J

This CEMP and the Sub-Plans have been developed by experts and subjected to range of reviews to ensure that they are commensurate to the scale of the effects associated with the Project. This ensures that the measures proposed in the CEMP and its Sub-Plans are appropriate for managing the adverse environment effects of these construction works.

The CEMP, CCP and all the DWP’s have been presented to the Mt Eden CLG for feedback in accordance with designation condition 7.5. Where appropriate, this feedback has been incorporated into the CEMP, CCP and DWP’s. Where feedback has not been incorporated, reasons why have been provided in each document.

The CEMP and DWP’s and the feedback from the CLG on these plans has been reviewed by CRL’s Independent Peers Review Panel (IPRP). The IPRP have provided a number of recommendations to ensure the CEMP and DWP’s meet the objectives and other requirements of the designation conditions (as required by Condition 11). These inputs, along with the feedback from the CLG, are attached in Appendix K

A mana whenua workshop for this project was held in November 2016. During this workshop the mana whenua forum provided feedback and input to the CEMP, DWP’s and GSMCP. This feedback and input is summarised in Appendix K

The CEMP has been updated (revision 9) by MBJV following Contract 6 award to reflect the revised construction design and methodology. The updates are considered non-material for the purposes of the CRL Designation conditions. As a result, the updates do not require further CLG, Mana Whenua or independent peer review input.

The updated CEMP (revision 9) supersedes the existing CEMP, revision 9, for the C6 works and will support the section 127 resource consent application process and outline plan waiver request

1.5 Mana Whenua

We are all descended from Ranginui, our Father Sky and Papatuanuku, our Mother Earth. Ngā mana whenua o Tāmaki Makaurau have a special relationship with Ranginui, Papatuanuku, and their resources. Acting as kaitiaki, they endeavour to protect their whānau, hapū and Iwi and encourage all people to act as protectors of the earth.

Kaitiakitanga includes:

 protecting, restoring, enhancing the mauri (life supporting capacity) of resources;

 fulfilling spiritual, emotional and inherited responsibilities to the environment;

 maintaining mana over resources; and

 ensuring the welfare of the people those resources support.

In Tamaki Makaurau it is mana whenua who are Kaitiaki.

The aspiration of the CRL project to be exemplary in the practice of sustainability – encompassing the four well-beings (environmental, cultural, social and economic) – aligns and supports kaitiakitanga. In meeting their sustainability commitments CRL staff, contractors and others involved in the project are also supporting kaitiakitanga and mana whenua as kaitiaki. Furthermore, they are also improving the state of the environment that we pass on for future generations.

The CRL sustainability framework is informed by tikanga tiaki and mātauranga. A CRL mana whenua forum has been established for the purposes of undertaking kaitiakitanga responsibilities associated with the project. The forum comprises those mana whenua groups who expressed an interest in being involved in the CRL project and its related activities. Eight mana whenua self-identified their interest in CRL and are currently part of the forum:

 Ngāti Maru

 Ngāti Paoa

 Ngāi Tai Ki Tāmaki

 Ngāti Te Ata Waiohua

 Ngāti Whātua o Ōrākei

 Te Akitai Waiohua

 Te Kawerau a Maki

 Ngāti Tamaoho

CRLL continues to work collaboratively with the mana whenua forum on all aspects of the CRL project. With the commencement of construction for the CRL enabling works, the forum’s role will include cultural induction for contractors, assistance with discovery procedures, monitoring, and ongoing provision of mātauranga Māori input.

1.6 Designation Conditions

2 Project Description

2.1 CRL Overview

The 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 (NAL) in the vicinity of Mt Eden station. The proposed works include the construction of twin underground rail tunnels and two underground stations using cut and cover methods, and tunnel boring methods, up to 42 m below ground.

The CRL enabling works form a separate package to the main CRL project. The size of this project means that the various packages of enabling works have been separated into a number of construction contracts. The Nikau Street Stormwater Main Realignment package is referred to as Contract 6 (C6).

2.2 Nikau Street Stormwater Main Realignment

The purpose of the Project is to enable the construction of the future CRL tunnels by realigning the Nikau Street Stormwater Main which currently represents a critical CRL project constraint. The Project works involve the construction of a replacement stormwater main from the eastern end of Water Street, where it then passes beneath the CRL East Facing Connection (EFC) east of Mount Eden Road, it then continues west to connect into the existing main at the corner of Nikau Street and Ruru Street. The Project includes the construction of a central shaft at Mt Eden Road and shafts at Water Street (Drive) and Nikau Street (Retrieval)

The realigned pipeline will be 2,000mm (internal diameter) and is proposed to be constructed along a horizontally curved (R150m and 802m) alignment which is required to reach the proposed shaft locations. The realigned pipeline and shaft locations have been positioned to avoid the proposed rail alignment, basalt extents and existing properties.

One tunnel drive is proposed from the Water Street shaft. Due to the depth of the upstream and downstream connection points as well as the requirement to pass beneath the proposed CRL alignment (approximately 15-20m), pipe jacking is the proposed construction methodology. Pipejacking is a trenchless construction technique where a Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) with a pressurised slurry system excavates material. Pipes are then horizontally driven using a hydraulic ram from a series of vertical shafts. Therefore, it is proposed to install the following shafts, along with associated CSA’s, at the following locations:

 An access shaft adjacent to Mount Eden Road (approximately 2.7m in diameter), known as the “Mount Eden Road Shaft” is located between Mount Eden Road and the North Auckland Line (NAL). The construction activities shall be supported by a CSA of approximately 3928m2 (plus an additional 350m2 for a temporary vehicle access ramp) surrounding the shaft (Appendix B).

 A launch shaft at Water Street (approximately 9.25m diameter and 16.7m deep), known as the “Water Street Shaft” is located within an CRLL owned vacant site which is currently used as a carpark. The shaft is to be positioned between the end of Water Street and the existing NAL lines. It is proposed to be supported by a CSA of approximately 1500m2 surrounding the shaft (Appendix B).

 A reception shaft at Nikau Street (varies from approximately 6.1m to 10.9m in diameter and 15.4m deep) known as the “Nikau Street Shaft” is located within the footpath at the corner of Nikau Street and Ruru Street. It is proposed to be serviced by a CSA of approximately 900m2 at 16-18 Ruru Street (Appendix B).

 An additional construction support area of 2728m2 will be located at 28 Mt Eden Road. The demolition of the existing building at 28 Mt Eden Road and the establishment of the additional construction support area was authorised via a further outline plan (Council reference: OPW60306133) on 13 September 2017.

The shaft locations have been strategically selected to avoid clusters of utilities. However, it is expected that some utilities will not be able to be avoided and therefore will need to be protected or relocated before piling and shaft excavation. AT is currently engaging with relevant utility stakeholders as part of this work and it is anticipated that existing services will either be relocated or protected as part of the access shaft formation.

Other ancillary works are required to enable the construction of the Project and include:

 Relocation and protection of various minor utilities which clash with, or are in close proximity to, the shafts.

 Temporary protection of the Huia No. 2 watermain adjacent to the Nikau Street shaft.

 A section of mined tunnel of approximately 7m will extend under Nikau Street to connect the realigned section of pipe from the Nikau Street shaft into the existing stormwater main at Ruru Street.

 A open cut connection to the existing pipe at Water Street.

 The demolition of 26 Mount Eden Road to enable the construction of the Mount Eden shaft.

 The demolition of 16-18 Ruru Street to enable the property to be used as a worksite and reduce disruption to the adjacent roads and properties. The Nikau Street shaft cannot be fully located within this property as a permanent manhole and riser is required by AC for maintenance access at this location.

 The demolition of 28 Mount Eden Road to enable the use of the site as a construction support area. The floor slab and external impervious surfaces will remain in place. No excavation is proposed on this site.

 Three new connections are required to connect the realigned Nikau Street Stormwater Main to the existing stormwater mains within Ruru Street at the corner of Nikau Street and Ruru Street.

 In addition, three permanent access shafts are proposed within the reception and launch shafts during reinstatement at Water Street, Mount Eden Road and Nikau Street to accommodate access associated with the ongoing operation and maintenance of the realigned Nikau Street Stormwater Main.

 Three new Gross Pollutant Traps (GPT’s) on Boston Road (two) and Normanby Road (one). These works will require excavating pits of approximately 6 m wide, 6 m long and 7.9 m deep to install new 2.5 m wide GPTs and manholes (Figure 3).

The Project works are anticipated to take up to 13 months depending on the methodology chosen by the Construction Contractor. Subject to obtaining the section 127 variation to resource consent, works are expected to commence in March 2018

Whether the existing abandoned alignment is backfilled or used for stormwater storage is still to be agreed with Council.

2.3 Construction Methodology

16. Install GPT’s

17. Divert flow to new stormwater main

18. Seal connections to existing stormwater main

2.3.2

Building demolition

In order to construct the Project, the buildings at 26 Mt Eden Road, 28 Mt Eden Road and 16-18 Ruru Street need to be demolished. This work will be completed by a sub-contractor. The demolition methodology for the two buildings will generally be conducted as follows:

1. Construct a 2.5m high mesh panel fence (with dust net or similar) around the perimeter to secure the site.

2. Establish traffic management, site entry and divert pedestrians (as outlined in the TAPDWP in Appendix D).

3. Disconnect services to the perimeter of the site.

4. Conduct an asbestos check. If asbestos is identified it will be removed by an appropriately experienced, qualified and certified contractor.

5. Remove of cabling, pipework, HVAC units, aluminium joinery and other items for reuse and recycling.

6. Structural demolition will be carried out using concrete saws, an excavator and/or a hydraulic excavator mounted pincers and breakers. The roof will be removed and the steel removed from site for recycling.

7. Blockwork walls will be demolished using a hydraulic breaker to separate the steel from the blockwork.

8. Where required to make way for the shaft, concrete floor slabs will be broken out and removed.

9. Final sweep off of the existing concrete ground floor slab to facilitate site establishment.

2.3.3 Utilities Relocation

In addition to relocating the Nikau Street stormwater main, other network utilities also need to be relocated to make room for the construction of the pipe jack shafts.

Relocation of utilities will occur prior to commencement of shaft construction. Whilst shaft locations have been strategically located to avoid clusters of utilities, some are unable to be avoided. Prior to piling and shaft excavation protection or relocation of utilities will occur. Network Utility Operators (NUO) that will be affected by the works include Vector Electricity, Vector Gas, Vector Communications, Chorus, Vodafone, AC and Watercare Services. The following sections outline the utilities relocations that are expected to occur in relation to each shaft. The Communication and Consultation Plan in Appendix J provides further detail around the consultation and communication that has been and will continue to be undertaken with network utility providers affected by the Project. All existing network utilities in the vicinity of the three shafts have been located using Before You Dig Records, AC GIS information and as built plans provided by the network utility providers (where available). All network utilities in close proximity to the works will be physically located and marked out on site by a suitably experienced services locator prior to works commencing. Network utilities that clash with (or are in close proximity to) the shafts will be relocated or protected in advance of the main construction works.

The location, protection and/or relocation of utilities that clash with the shaft locations enables to ensure that all personnel working on site are able to conduct the works safely. Relocating or protecting all utilities that clash with the Project will ensure the continuous operation of those network utilities, with the shortest possible outage only during the changeover to the newly installed diversion. Any site access for required by network utility providers will be coordinated as required with the Project Engineer.

All earthworks in close proximity to utilities will be conducted using methods which minimise the risk of damage to these utilities. Such methods include hand excavating and hydro-excavation. Vibration effects on utilities will be managed through the protection or relocation of at risk utilities. As built drawings will be provided to the relevant NUOs for any relocated utilities. The utilities requiring protection and/or relocation for the Project are identified below.

2.3.3.1 Mt Eden Road Access Shaft

The utilities identified at or around the Mt Eden Road Access shaft and their associated actions are summarised in Table 3 and Figure 9 below. Utilities shown in orange are likely to be protected, while utilities shown in blue are likely to require removal or diversion around the excavation works.

The services supplying electricity, water and communications to 28 Mt Eden Road will need to be relocated to ensure the continuous operation of the site office occupying 28 Mt Eden Road There may be a short period of time during the relocation of these utilities where temporary disconnection is required. The timing of this will be coordinated to ensure business continuity.

2.3.3.2.1 Works adjacent to existing 1950 Stormwater Main

The construction of the Water Street shaft occurs immediately adjacent to the existing Nikau Street stormwater main which is being diverted by the Project. The shaft is located as close as possible to the existing stormwater main to enable a safe and effecting mining operation to connect to the existing main at completion. The piling operation is planned to be located with a minimum of 500mm clearance from the existing stormwater main to allow for construction tolerances associated with the piling. AC Stormwater has indicated that there is relatively low risk to the existing stormwater main as a result of construction, as the existing asset is being decommissioned at the completion of the project. Piling shall continue beyond the depth of the existing stormwater main to ensure loads are transferred to the ground below the pipe rather than the pipe itself. Figure 7 illustrates the indicative piling details

Utilities shown in orange are likely to be protected, while utilities shown in blue are likely to require removal or diversion around the excavation works. Proposed stormwater assets are shown in green. For further information refer to the detailed design report and drawings.

The utility relocation across Nikau Street will be separated into two parts which will be completed at different times to ensure that there is at least one lane open on Nikau Street at all times. All traffic effects from these works are (including any temporarily lane closures/reductions) are addressed within the TAPDWP (Appendix D). Any noise effects from these works will be addressed in the CNVDWP (Appendix E).

The Huia No. 2 water main is a 1300mm diameter Concrete Lined Steel (CLS) trunk water main which is a critical piece of infrastructure in Watercare’s trunk supply network. It is proposed to physically locate the existing Huia No. 2 Water main on site prior to commencing construction. Once located, the existing pipe will be carefully exposed over a length of 4-5 metres using hand digging and hydro excavations to prevent any damage. Once exposed it is proposed to construct a temporary gravity retaining wall (keystone block or equivalent) on the street side of the existing main, and reinstate the existing berm and carriageway to the back of the retaining wall.

Table 5 Utilities – Nikau Street shaft

A temporary fence (or similar) will be erected on the shaft side of the water main, with a solid cover placed over the main supported by the two walls to protect it from disturbance during shaft excavations and from the lowering of equipment into the shaft. Temporary restraints may be attached from the existing main to the new gravity wall to restrict any unintended movement of the main during construction. These protection details are illustrated in Figure 8 below.

Once the protection works outlined above have been completed the remainder of the shaft excavations will commence. Rock breaking will be undertaken to the basalt below and adjacent the existing water main. Rock breaking is likely to involve chemical fracturing and rock picking and will not involve blasting. A 1.15m allowance from the face of the excavations to the edge of the existing main has been conservatively allowed for any overbreak that might occur during excavations.

Early engagement with Watercare regarding the Huia No.2 Water Main and the protection details outlined above have indicated that the protection methodology outlined above is acceptable in principle. A Works Over Application will be submitted to Watercare along with the final design details for approval. Inspections of the water main pre, during and post construction (if required) will be agreed with Watercare as part of the Works Over Application.

Damage during construction must be prevented due to the critical nature of this asset. It is considered that the protection methodology outlined above along with ongoing consultation with Watercare is sufficient to manage the risk of damage to this asset during construction.

2.3.4 Shaft construction

Each shaft has individual set up requirements and layouts Shaft construction methodology for each of the three sites is outlined below.

2.3.4.1 Mt Eden Road Access Shaft

The Mt Eden site is a sloping site An alternative site access for construction of the Mt Eden Road shaft and 28 Mt Eden Road will be established. The site needs to be excavated to make it sufficiently level for the construction of the shaft to commence. This requires lowering the ground level to the top of the access shaft level The indicative site layout is illustrated in Figure 13.

The site establishment and shaft construction at the Mt Eden Road site will generally follow the below sequencing:

1. Establish environment controls (as outlined in Sub-Plans), traffic management and site fencing.

2. Construction of a vehicle access ramp from Mt Eden Road down to the rear of 28 Mt Eden Road. This may include the relocation of services to 28 Mt Eden Road along this temporary access ramp.

3. Excavation of the site down to a level platform at the height of the finished access chamber.

4. Installation of fencing between the railway and the site once the top of the shaft has been reached.

5. Installation of the casing for the access shaft.

6. Excavation of the shaft and installation of supports as the appropriate. Once the base level of the shaft is reached the base slab will be installed.

7. Construct the permanent works including a mined link to the new stormwater main.

8. Once complete the shaft will be backfilled

9. Complete the access chamber internally

10. Complete the associated stormwater manhole and connection including cut in and dropper.

2.3.4.2 Nikau Street Shaft

Once the building at 16–18 Ruru Street is removed the CSA can be established on top of the building foundations. The site establishment and shaft construction at the Nikau Street site will generally follow the below sequencing:

1. Establish environment controls (as outlined in Sub-Plans), traffic management and site fencing.

2. Connecting to services (water and power) to facilitate construction. Establishing site offices, toilet and Smoko facilities for staff.

3. Locate and protect Huia no.2 water supply main (refer to Section 2.3.3.3.1 for further details).

4. Excavate down to basalt level and install fill retention gravity walls

5. Pre-split and excavate basalt layer.

6. Install ground support rock bolts and shotcrete as required to stabilise basalt.

7. Install reinforced concrete ring beam to support jacks. Excavate down and push caisson down as excavation progresses to rock level.

8. Excavate remaining section of shaft below rock level installing ground support rock bolts and shotcrete as required.

9. Install base slab.

10. Carry out any strengthening to shaft wall for TBM reception

11. Receive the TBM driven from the Water St Shaft and remove from shaft

12. Install canopy tubes for mined tunnel connection.

13. Mine tunnel from base of shaft to existing pipe/shaft installing ground support ground support as mining progresses.

14. Construct permanent concrete chamber at base of shaft to connect the mined pipe to the driven pipe including a riser and dropper.

2.3.4.3 Water Street Shaft

The Water Street CSA is relatively flat and requires little re-contouring to make it suitable for the construction of the Water Street shaft. The Water Street site is to be used to store the construction materials, pipe and provide some contractor parking.

The site establishment and shaft construction at the Water Street site will generally follow the below sequencing:

1. Establish environment controls (as outlined in Sub-Plans), traffic management and site fencing.

2. Connecting to services (water and power) to facilitate construction. Establishing site offices, toilet and smoko facilities for staff.

3. Locate and protect existing stormwater main (refer to Section 2.3.32.3.3.2.1 for further details).

4. Install ground improvement/soft piles around stormwater main and mined section.

5. Installation of the secant pile wall.

6. Excavate shaft to the existing stormwater main invert level, installing walers as required.

7. Install canopy tubes and necessary strengthening to the mined tunnel portal within the shaft.

8. Recommence excavation of the shaft and installation of supports as the appropriate levels are reached. Once the base level of the shaft is reached the base slab will be installed.

9. Install jacking frame in shaft and surface equipment in preparation for the tunnel boring phase.

10. Launch TBM and carry out drive to Nikau Street shaft (see Section 2.3.4.2).

11 Construct permanent concrete chamber, access stair and chute within the shaft and permanent lining for the connecting tunnel up to the mined connection level.

12 Break through secant pile wall and mine tunnel to expose existing stormwater main, installing ground support as mining progresses

11. Complete permanent lining of the mined connection to the existing main and make final connection

12. Complete construction of the permanent concrete chamber, access stair and chute within shaft.

2.3.5 Tunnel Boring

Due to the depth of the existing stormwater main it is proposed to install the realigned main using pipe jacking, a trenchless installation method where pipes are driven horizontally between two vertical shafts using a tunnel boring machine (TBM) (Figure 12). Pipe jacking operations will be powered from a fixed electrical power supply from Vector or using diesel powered generators

Pipe jacking has a number of environmental benefits over open cut construction due to the reduced surface interaction required for this method.

The TBM has a rotating cutting head to excavate the ground and is pushed into the ground with a hydraulic jacking frame set up in the launch shaft ( Water St Shaft). As the TBM progresses forward sequential sections of pipe are lowered into the jacking frame and pushed forward behind the TBM. Intermediate jacking stations will be used on the drive to assist with overcoming friction forces on the pipe.

At the front face of the TBM cutter head is a chamber filled with slurry which combines with the excavated material and is pumped out of the tunnel. This slurry mix is primarily bentonite, water and a small amount of additives. These additives are dependent on the ground condition discovered at the site and are yet to be confirmed.

The slurry mix is pumped out through the tunnel to a separation plant located at the top of the launch shaft. The separation plant removes the excavated material from the slurry. The slurry is then pumped back into the tunnel and reused.

Figure 12Indicative pipe jacking launch site setup with slurry TBM

The TBM excavates an area slightly larger than the stormwater pipe (creating approximately 25mm gap) to allow enough space for pipe installation. This gap will either be closed by the ground or filled with grout.

2.3.6 The Project involves a single drive which starts at the launch shaft (Water Street Shaft) and ends at the Nikau Street shaft. Mined

Tunnels

A short section of mined tunnel is required at each of the Water Street, Mt Eden Rd and Nikau Street shafts to connect the new section of pipe into the existing pipe network. This involves excavating the mined tunnel from within the shaft and installing ground support as the excavation progresses. Ground support includes canopy tubes installed above the tunnel crown to reinforce the ground and prevent collapse and rock bolts/steel sets and lagging and/or shotcrete to support the tunnel excavation. A permanent tunnel lining is constructed from cast insitu reinforced concrete.

2.3.6.1

Water St to Mt Eden Rd

For this section the material encountered is likely to be predominately sandstone/mudstone rock (unweathered East Coast Bays Formation (ECBF)) with a short section of softer ground consisting of residual/weather ECBF, Tauranga Group (TG) alluvium and volcanic ash at Water Street shaft location.

Based on the ground investigations the ground conditions at Water Street Shaft are very soft and susceptible to high consolidation settlement during shaft construction. The shaft has therefore been designed as undrained using a secant pile wall to limit settlement and ground water drawdown.

For the mined connecter tunnel ground improvement in the form of deep soil mixing and/or jet grouting is proposed to replace the soft ground with a cement filled pile (soft pile). This stiffens the ground allowing for less settlement and more favourable conditions for mining the tunnel. This also helps to reduce the permeability of the ground around the opening with the shaft further reducing the groundwater drawdown.

2.3.6.2

Mt Eden to Nikau Street

From Mt Eden to the Nikau Street shaft. The material encountered is likely to be predominately sandstone/mudstone rock (unweathered and weathered ECBF) at either ends of the drive with a short section of softer ground in the middle of the drive consisting of residual ECBF and TG alluvium. A section of hard rock (basalt) is expected to be encountered in the middle section of the drive.

The mined connector tunnel will be constructed to join the pipe into the existing stormwater main at Nikau Street. This is to avoid placement of the shaft in the road corridor.

The new pipe will then be joined to the existing stormwater main by cast insitu concrete connection.

2.3.7

Gross Pollutant Trap Installation

Three GPT’s are required to be installed on Normanby Road (one) and Boston Road (two). These works will occur within the road corridor. All sites are relatively flat. Traffic management around these small work areas is outlined in the TAPDWP. The GPT installation will generally be carried out as follows:

1. Excavate around existing stormwater manholes, expose and protect utilities

2. Install shoring (sheet pile or similar)

3. Remove existing man hole

4. Install GPT, new manhole and connect with existing stormwater network

5. Backfill excavation and reinstate pavement

2.3.8 Earthworks

The approximate earthworks volumes for the three shafts and two tunnels are summarised in Table 6 below. All material will be stockpiled on site for a short period of time before removal off-site. All volumes are estimated in-situ with no allowance for bulking.

For further details around erosion and sediment control refer to the ESCP in Appendix C

2.3.9 Commissioning

Once the new stormwater pipe is complete, the new alignment can be livened. This occurs by breaking through into existing pipe to complete remaining permanent works. This final connection to the new alignment will be scheduled to occur during a period of low flows and when little rain is forecast. The retired pipe section can then be decommissioned. The three shafts can then be backfilled and the permanent CRL works constructed.

2.4 Project Programme

The Project is anticipated to take approximately 13 months to construct. To ensure construction works are undertaken as quickly and efficiently as possible, the construction sequence activities are performed in parallel, i.e. each shaft will be constructed simultaneously. The approximate timing of these main activities and how the different work fronts may progress within the construction period is shown in Table 7

2.5 Hours of Operation

The designation conditions require that a number of noise and vibration limits are adhered to which restrict noise and vibration generating activity to between 0700 and 2200 (designation conditions 31 to 35)

Works will generally be undertaken between 0700 and 1900 Monday to Saturday. Twenty-four hour working is proposed for all pipe-jacking works. If tunnelling was to stop overnight there is a risk that the TBM may become stuck before its end destination. This would require additional works to complete the Project and recover the stuck TBM. Twenty four hour continuous construction also provides benefits to the pipe jacking operation by reducing the effects of ground water loss and settlement. The twenty-four hour working during tunnelling is also required to reduce the overall duration of the works, which allows the CRL rail tunnel construction works to commence earlier.

2.6 Site Layout and Management

The Project has three small Construction Support Areas (CSA) located around each of the three shafts at 26 Mt Eden Road and 28 Mt Eden Road (Mt Eden Road site), the corner of Nikau Street and Ruru Street (Nikau Street site) and at the end of Water Street in the Wilson carpark area (Water Street site).

Where possible in the CSAs, quieter site activities such as the site offices and storage areas are located on the periphery of the CSA which are closest to surrounding buildings and face externally to the rest of the construction site.

Sufficient space has been provided for at the Water St site for the stockpiling of spoil and pipe overnight. This will limit the need for vehicle access to the site during night works.

Mt Eden Road site 26 and 28 Mt Eden Road 3928m²

Nikau Street site Corner of Nikau Street and Ruru Street 900m² Water Street site End of Water Street in existing carpark 1500m²

Once all demolition, utility relocation and utility protection works are complete the Water Street, Nikau Street and Mt Eden Road sites can be established as CSAs. For all three sites this involves setting up the traffic management and site access (as described in the TAPDWP in Appendix D), erosion and sediment controls (as described in the ESCP in Appendix C) and fencing of the site. The CSA layouts are shown in Figure 13 - Figure 15 below.

2.6.1 Security, Safety and Public Viewing

Generally site security will be maintained by establishing temporary fences at the perimeter of the works. These may be anchored to or fixed into the ground where their location is critical (e.g. to eliminate fall risks). Gates will be provided at construction entry and exit points and these will be locked shut when the site is unattended. Site security will be located at each site entrance to prevent unauthorised persons from entering the site.

Table 8 Construction support areas

Fences and hoardings may become spaces for project information, decoration or artworks on the public facing sides while still shielding drivers from distraction. Where appropriate, opportunities for public views over the works through Perspex windows will be incorporated into hoardings and fences.

2.6.2 Graffiti and Litter

Security fences and hoardings will be inspected for integrity and graffiti as part of a weekly environmental inspection. A small quantity of paint will be kept on site to paint over graffiti rapidly. Construction Contractor will target painting over graffiti within 48 hours of identifying the problem (although this may take longer if it requires working at height).

The site will be inspected for litter via the weekly inspection form.

The Construction Contractor and AT will discourage graffiti by putting murals and project information on hoardings (where practicable) to avoid providing a blank canvas for graffiti.

2.6.3 Returning the Site to Public Use

This will be detailed in the Urban Design DWP which will be prepared as part of a subsequent Outline Plan of Works process for the CRL Main works The works on the three sites are programmed to be completed in February 2019. The sites will then be tidied and fenced. They will be made available for the main CRL construction works which will commence shortly after the Project is complete in early 2019. As such, the site will not be left vacant for sufficiently long to warrant them being made available for any other purpose.

The Water Street site will be returned to its original use as an informal parking area prior to the CRL construction works commencing. Manholes will be installed at Water Street and in the road corridor at Nikau Street to facilitate shaft access for operations maintenance purposes. Access to the Mt Eden Shaft will be via access to 28 Mt Eden Road.

3 Social and Environmental Management

This CEMP presents a framework of principles, environmental policy and performance standards as well as processes for implementing appropriate environmental management. The methods for achieving this are presented in detail in the sections below.

3.1 Construction Activities and Associated Environmental Receivers

Key construction activities associated with the Project include the construction of shafts and support areas and installation of the new stormwater main using pipe jacking

These activities have the potential to affect different aspects of the environment (e.g. traffic, noise). The Sub-Plans attached to this CEMP detail mitigation measures specific to the environmental aspect and detail further the construction activity which causes the potential effect.

Table 9 summarises key activities which occur in each stage of the project and possible sensitive receivers.

The Project Risk Register includes environmental risks for the construction activities related to the Nikau Street stormwater main realignment. A risk register for the Project has been developed by MBJV and stored in their document management system.

The information contained in the register provides a guide for the implementation of environmental management activities, controls and monitoring, thus minimising environmental impacts.

3.2.1 Review of the Register

The Risk Register is a ‘living document’ and will be constantly updated to address changing conditions, revised methodologies and each new work area.

The Environment and Sustainability Manager (ESM) is required to maintain and review environmental risks within the register. The Risk Register will be reviewed prior to the commencement of construction activities (taking into account finalised construction methodologies), at regular intervals and when there is a new or changed activity, equipment or location. Changes to legislative requirements may also drive Risk Register reviews. The Register will be reviewed on a quarterly basis as a minimum.

The ESM, with the assistance of environmental and technical experts, will determine whether the CEMP and Sub-Plans require revision to reflect the revised risk assessment. CRLL, as the consent holder, will be responsible for obtaining AC approvals with input from MBJV, if approvals are required, prior to commencing any new or changed activities.

The ESM will inform the Pipejack Manager, relevant staff, Project Director and management team of any changes to the environmental risks within the Project Risk Register.

3.3 Cumulative Effects

Methods to address cumulative effects are outlined for specific activities within the suite of Sub-Plans. Monitoring for each area includes methods to ensure the effects from the Project are well understood and delineated from effects of concurrent construction projects in proximity.

3.4 Legislative and Other Requirements

This section details the statutory framework and other requirements for environmental management on the Project and outlines the relevant legislation, policies, plans and consents.

3.4.1

National Legal Requirements and Policies

The MBJV will comply with all relevant legislation and will employ best practice environmental management procedures. Key environmental legislation for management of the Project is identified in Table 10 below.

3.4.3 Resource Consents and Other Approvals

3.4.3.1

CRL Designation

CRLL, the Requiring Authority for the Project, has obtained a designation which provides for the City Rail Link and all utility relocations required to facilitate its construction within that designation. This includes the work proposed for the Nikau Street Stormwater Main Realignment.

The provisions within this CEMP are required to be complied with as a condition of the designation and will be implemented and maintained throughout the entire construction period for the Project. The CEMP will be updated as necessary (refer to Section 5.7 for detail on CEMP review procedures). The designation conditions are listed in Appendix A. As contractors to the Consent Holder, MBJV will take responsibility for maintaining compliance with the designation and resource consent conditions relevant to its scope of works. This will be tracked via a Compliance Management System to be established in conjunction with CRLL

3.4.3.2

Resource Consents Required

The majority of the proposed works occur within the existing CRL designation. Where the Project works occur within the boundaries of the existing CRL designation they are authorised, subject to compliance with the relevant designation conditions. However, a district consent is required for the works outside the designation.

A regional resource consent has been lodged for Aotea Station to NAL and was approved by Independent Commissioners on 18 November 2016. Following the decision there was an appeal which has now been resolved The appeal was still live when the reference design was being authorised by Council and therefore to provide for increased construction certainty a separate regional consent package was applied for and authorised The following resource consents have been obtained for the Contract 6 works:

 A land use consent for earthworks pursuant to Rule C1.9.2 (restricted discretionary activity) of the AUP is sought for works within an overland flow path and/or 100-year ARI flood plain.

 A land use consent for infrastructure in the 1% AEP floodplain and overland flow path pursuant to Rule E36.4.1.A56 (restricted discretionary activity) of the AUP is sought

 A land use consent for construction noise exceedances at Water Street pursuant to Rule E25.4.1.A2 (restricted discretionary activity) of the AUP is sought.

 A land used consent for the temporary activities at Water Street pursuant to Rule E40.4.1.A20 (restricted discretionary activity) of the AUP is sought.

 A water permit for the diversion of groundwater pursuant to Rule E7.4.1.A28 (restricted discretionary activity) of the AUP is sought.

 A water permit for the taking of groundwater associated with a groundwater diversion pursuant to Rule E7.4.1.A20 (restricted discretionary activity) of the AUP is sought.

 A discharge permit for the discharge of contaminants from disturbance of land not meeting the permitted activity controls pursuant to Rule E30.4.1.A6 (controlled activity) of the AUP

 A discharge permit to discharge water from dewatering of excavations to land or water pursuant to Rule E4.4.1.A15 (discretionary activity) of the AUP is sought

 A discharge permit for discharges of contaminants to air from earthworks pursuant to Rule E14.4.1.A82 (restricted discretionary activity) of the AUP is sought.

Both the district consent for works outside the designation and regional consent for the Project were authorised by AC along with the original reference design Outline Plan of Works (OPW) and CEMP

This CEMP, which has been updated to reflect MBJV revised construction design and methodology, revision 9, supports both the OPW waiver request and resource consent variation applications that will be submitted to AC for approval.

AT will be responsible for obtaining any unforeseen additional resource consents required during construction of the Project.

4.2 Environmental Training and Induction

The environmental competency and experience requirements for all staff positions are contained in the relevant Position Descriptions. Recruitment and procurement processes are conducted with the aim of engaging personnel with the required competency and experience.

All personnel will receive training of a type and level of detail that is appropriate for the environmental aspects of their routine and emergency work assignments. As a minimum, all personnel are required to satisfactorily complete the Project Induction Training. Other mechanisms of communicating environmental controls are through the induction training, tool box talks and prestart meetings, all of which are described below.

Other training needs are assessed on a job-by-job, and position-by-position basis.

4.2.1

Induction Training

The Project Induction includes a presentation of the requirements of this CEMP and in particular the requirements of the issue specific Sub-Plans, incident response, emergency procedures and spill management. The purpose of the induction is to ensure that, at a minimum, the employee or subcontractor:

 Understands the importance of conforming with the environmental policy and procedures and to the requirements of this CEMP;

 Is aware of the significant environmental values and issues within the vicinity of the Project alignment and the potential impact of the construction activities on these values;

 Understands sustainable activities and environmental control measures available to assist the Project to minimise its environmental impact;

 Is aware of all conditions of environmental licences, permits and approvals;

 Understands the potential consequences of a departure from the established procedures;

 Is aware of the roles and responsibilities relating to environmental management for the Project; and

 Is aware of the emergency response and incident procedures.

4.2.2 Tool Box Talks

Tool Box Talks are conducted for site personnel to deliver specific training in an aspect of work or controls. This may include spill kit training or correct erection of a silt fence. This training provides site personnel with ongoing environmental training and information throughout the Project. Participants in Tool Box Talks shall sign the attendancesheet.

4.2.3 Pre-Start Meetings

Pre-start meetings are used by the supervisors and foremen to explain the work to be done in the upcoming shift. All operational aspects of the task are discussed including safety and environmental issues and controls, particularly if there are new hazards or if there has been a recent incident. An environmental management representative will attend as applicable to explain new environmental controls or reiterate existing controls.

4.3 Operating Procedures

The following sections of the CEMP describe the environmental aspects associated with the construction phase of the Project along with the operational controls and mitigation measures. The appended Sub-Plans of this CEMP detail the controls and measures for each environmental aspect arecross-referenced.

4.3.1 Network Utilities

Consultation with Network Consultation and co-ordination with Network Utility Operators (NUO) will be ongoing throughout the duration of the construction of the Project and will continue to be undertaken in accordance with the ‘Principles and Objectives’ and ‘How we will communicate and consult’ sections of the Communication and Consultation Plan (Appendix J). The Construction Contractor will also utilise the strategies outlined in the Engagement Tools section of the Communication and Consultation Plan.

The following NUO’s have been consulted with in order to ensure the continued operation of Network Utilities throughout construction of the Project (unless otherwise agreed with the NUO) and to ensure that relocation and protection of applicable utilities occurs prior and during Project Construction:

 Vector Electricity

 Vector Gas

 Vector Communications

 Chorus

 Vodafone

 AC Stormwater

 Watercare Services

Consultation has included workshops and ongoing liaison through emails, phonecalls, and onsite and offsite meetings. No methods or measures of construction were disputed during consultation. Prior to excavation works for utility relocations, all utilities in the excavation area will be physically identified by GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) (or similar techniques) and marked out on the ground. In order to ensure the continued operation of the utilities and to ensure the NUO have access to existing utilities for maintenance/emergency access and repair at all reasonable times, regular consultation and coordination with all network utility providers will be undertaken throughout construction of the Project. This will be through meetings, workshops, regularly scheduled meetings, phone calls and emails.

4.3.1.1

Provision of Drawings to Network Utility Operators

All new utilities being installed on the Project will be surveyed by a registered surveyor and transferred into a drawing which satisfies each of the service providers specific ‘as built’ requirements. This information will be provided to the service providers.

4.3.1.2

Network Utility Site Obligations

All NUO and their contractors are required to adhere to the obligations outlined within this CEMP while undertaking work within the area of the Project site. This includes all personnel undertaking the relevant induction and training processes as outlined within section 4.2 of this CEMP and complying with the operating procedures outlined within section 4.3 of this CEMP.

4.3.2 Erosion and Sediment Control

An ESCP is included in Appendix C The ESCP provides for the management of all bulk earthworks to minimise any discharge of debris, soil, sediment or sediment-laden water beyond the site to either land and/ or stormwater drainage systems. The ESCP follows the principles of erosion and sediment control which are well understood by the contracting industry, and have their basis in the AC GD05 ‘Earthworks Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines ‘

Earthworks can be divided into excavation associated with construction of the three shafts, trenching, and the removal of spoil resulting from pipe jacking. In addition to compliance with TP90, other measures to mitigate erosion and sediment runoff include standard dust control and bunding of stockpiles. All excavated material will be removed from the construction areas as soon as practicably possible and taken to an appropriately licensed landfill facility

4.3.2.1

Chemical Treatment Plan

A Chemical Treatment Plan (CTP) will be developed by MBJV and submitted to AC for their certification prior to implementation if required.

4.3.3 Traffic, Access and Parking

A Transport, Access and Parking Delivery Work Plan (TAPDWP) is included in Appendix D. The objective of the TAPDWP is to avoid, remedy or mitigate the adverse effects of construction on transport, parking and property access by managing the road transport network for the duration of construction, maintaining pedestrian access to private property as all times, and provided on-going vehicle access to the greatest extent possible.

The TAPDWP outlines outlining onsite car parking management and methods for encouraging travel to the site using forms of transport other than private vehicle to assist in mitigating localised traffic effects.

4.3.4

Building Condition Surveys

Building condition surveys will be undertaken in accordance with conditions 46.1 - 46.4 of the designation conditions where it is assessed that there is potential for damage to buildings or structures arising from construction.

Building condition surveys will be undertaken for the buildings listed in Appendix 1 and 2 of the designation conditions. The building condition surveys will generally be undertaken as follows:

 The building surveys will be undertaken by an independent senior qualified person

 The survey shall include:

Any information about the type of foundations

Existing levels of damage (aesthetic, superficial, affecting levels of serviceability)

Whether observed damage is associated with structural damage

Susceptibility of building or structure to further movement

Photographic evidence

 MBJV will provide the building condition survey structure survey report to the property owner and AC within 15 working days of the survey being undertaken

 If requested by a building or structure owner where a pre-construction survey was undertaken, the Construction Contractor will undertake a visual inspection. This is in addition to monthly visual inspections until the completion of dewatering of the Project

 The Construction Contractor will carry out visual inspections of the surrounding ground and external building facades of the listed buildings adjacent to the tunnel trench to monitor any deterioration or movement of any pre-existing cracks

4.3.5 Construction Noise and Vibration

Construction Noise and Vibration is addressed by the Construction Noise and Vibration Management Plan (CNVMP) Appendix E

Construction noise and vibration will be generated by construction equipment and activities at the CSA, including rotary bored piling and the use of an excavator for shaft construction and during the pipe jack construction.

Throughout the construction phase, noise and vibration effects will be carefully managed through the implementation of the CNVMP and where required the preparation and implementation of Site Specific Noise and Vibration Management Plans (SSNVMP)

4.3.6 Lighting Spill and Glare

During construction, temporary lighting may be required in the main construction areas where sufficient natural light is not available to undertake the works. Spill lighting may cause a nuisance to surrounding residents and businesses. Glare from temporary light has the potential to cause a disabling effect to drivers of vehicles.

The principal objectives for the management of temporary lighting are to:

 Minimise the nuisance level to adjacent residents/building occupiers of the works;

 Minimise the impact of glare on the surrounding road environment; and

 Increase employee and subcontractor awareness of their obligations with regard to minimising effects of light spill on adjacent neighbours.

MBJV will minimise light spill by selecting / procuring light fittings that provide a defined directional beam. Lights will be mounted in elevated positions so that they may point down towards the works, rather than aiming across the work space and increasing the risk of light shining into adjacent buildings.

Night time light audits will be carried out once the temporary lighting is installed and following any changes to the temporary lighting on site (10pm to 7am). The audits will involve a visual inspection around the site boundary to look for errant light emissions and to identify any light fixtures that may be faulty or misaligned. Results will be noted on the weekly environmental inspection sheet to be addressed by the Construction Manager.

4.3.7

Historic Character and Archaeology

A Historic Character DWP (HCDWP) is included in Appendix F and addresses the management of any adverse archaeological effects that may result during the Project.

A Built Heritage section is not required as the buildings to be demolished at 26 and 28 Mt Eden Road and 16-18 Ruru Street are late 20th century buildings with no built heritage values. The nearest

building registered as having heritage values is over 100m away from the proposed works. This DWP will therefore only cover archaeology and will not include historic heritage as it is irrelevant to the works.

The HCDWP establishes procedures to be followed in the event of archaeological remains being discovered. An Archaeological Authority under Section 44(a) of the Heritage NZ Pouhere Taonga Act 2014 (HNZPTA) has been obtained. The management of any pre-1900 archaeological sites exposed within the Project area must be carried out in accordance with the Archaeological Authority.

4.3.8 Trees and Vegetation

Tree and vegetation management is addressed through a Trees and Vegetation DWP (TVDWP) contained in Appendix G. The purpose of the TVDWP is to avoid the removal of scheduled trees as far as practicable.

There are no scheduled trees within the Project area. As such the TVDWP will describe the trees (non-scheduled only) that will be removed as part of surface construction works, including a list of trees which have root systems or foliage within or overhanging the surface designation footprint.

Mitigation of tree removal (via replanting) will be included in a future Urban Design DWP for the main CRL works (see section 4.3.9). The Project Communication and Consultation Plan (Appendix J) details how consultation will be conducted with AC Parks Department and Mana Whenua and how communication is undertaken with the general public on the management of the adverse effects relating to the removal of trees and vegetation.

4.3.9

Urban Design

As this CEMP is specific to enabling works for the CRL it does not include provisions for Urban Design. These will be addressed on a project wide basis in a subsequent OPW and CEMP which will address such matters through an Urban Design DWP (UDDWP). This approach will ensure consistency of urban design outcomes across all aspects of the CRL project.

4.3.10 Contaminated Soils

A Contamination DWP (CDWP) is included in Appendix H The CDWP provides the framework for managing contamination hazards and mitigation measures relevant to the expected conditions that will be encountered while earthworks are being undertaken. The CDWP outlines proposed soil management and contingency measures, and also addresses Health and Safety issues associated with construction works on contaminated land.

4.3.11

Air Quality

During the construction phase there is potential for the discharge of contaminants to air, such as dust. An Air Quality DWP (AQDWP) is included in Appendix I. The purpose of this AQDWP is to avoid, remedy or mitigate the actual or potential adverse air quality effects during construction.

4.3.12

Hazardous Substances

Hazardous substances will be kept on site within specified hazardous substances storage areas. In order to manage the storage, handling, transport and disposal of these substances, a Hazardous Substances Management Plan (HSMP) will be developed by the Construction Contractor which details:

 A list of all hazardous substances kept on site, include class information and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs);

 Requirements for proper storage, handling, transport and disposal of hazardous substances; and

 Spill response procedures.

The HSMP is additional to the management plans required by the designation conditions for the Project, but is not required to be certified by AC.

4.4 Emergency and Incident Response

An environmental emergency is an event which has a detrimental effect on the surrounding environment. A detrimental environmental effect is something that causes significant harm to the environment, which is not legally allowed and requires immediate response. An environmental emergency can also be a deviation from the environmental management system defined in the CEMP and its Sub-Plans. This means there has been a failure to follow the established process or procedures that help the contractor achieve best practice.

Examples of environmental emergencies include, but are not restricted to:

 Significant (large volume) chemical / oil spill.

 Excessive discharge of sediment to the stormwater system.

 Hazardous substance release to air.

4.4.1 Emergency Response Plan

An Emergency Response Plan (ERP) will be prepared for the Project by MBJV. This ERP will take into account the following factors:

 The parts of the site or adjoining properties likely to be affected;

 The degree of predictability of the emergency;

 The likely speed of onset;

 The likely effect of the emergency;

 The contents of the ERP will include: description of the potential emergency; the person responsible for actioning the ERP; the equipment required to deal with the emergency including rescue equipment; emergency contact numbers; direction to site workers and other affected persons on what they are required to do; the methods used to deal with the emergency (e.g. how to use specific equipment

As necessary, emergency services such as Police, Fire Brigade, and Ambulance are to be contacted and invited to visit the site in order to become aware of site access and other emergency considerations.

The ERP will incorporate the following components:

 Emergency contact list (for the above);

 Emergency Reporting Instructions;

 Emergency Muster Point Location;

 Emergency Response Co-ordinator Action Plan;

 Emergency Personnel and Equipment.

The ERP will be displayed in prominent locations around the site and employees will be trained in its requirements. All relevant Project personnel, subcontractors and relevant emergency agencies will be instructed and rehearsed, as appropriate, in the requirements of the ERP.

The ERP is additional to the management plans required by the resource consents and Designation conditions for the Project, but is not required to be certified by AC

4.4.2 Incident Response

An environmental incident is an occurrence which has (or potentially could have had) a negative or ‘adverse’ effect on the environment. An adverse effect is something that causes (or could have caused) environmental harm. This means there has been a failure to follow the established process or procedures that help the Project achieve best practice (e.g. failure to report a spill).

Environmental incidents include but are not restricted to:

 Spills;

 Unforeseen impacts on areas of high environmental value such as archaeology; and

 Consent non-compliances (e.g. noise, sediment).

A Spill Response Plan for the Project (appended to the ERP) will be developed by the MBJV and will detail the actions to be followed in the event of a spill (including training).

During the construction phase, the ESM will be responsible for providing training and/or orientation to employees or subcontractors that addresses the proper action regarding spills.

The MBJV will ensure that spill response materials are available, commensurate with the type, quantity and storage arrangements for Hazardous Substances on site.

As deemed necessary, vehicles (e.g. utility vehicles), heavy equipment (e.g. dozers, excavators), pumps, and generators will have spill kits that, at a minimum, will contain sufficient oil absorbent material to contain (e.g. oil absorbent boom) and cleanup any drips, leaks, or spills (e.g. ruptured hydraulic line) and plastic bags to contain any contaminated absorbents, soils, or wastes. Bags containing used cleanup material will be transported to the designated hazardous material/waste storage area for proper drumming, labelling, and classification prior to off-site disposal

The response to various environmental incidents is outlined in the relevant Sub-Plans. For serious incidents the immediate response may involve stopping works until a solution to manage the incident is developed. The only exception to this is if the works relate to the safe and continuous operation of the TBM, where 24 hours operation is required (as outlined in Section 2.5).

4.4.3

Notification Procedure

Environmental incidents shall be recorded. The cause of all incidents will be subject to an investigation, convened by the ESM to determine the root causes of the incident and to ensure that remedial / corrective action is able to be implemented to ensure a repeat of the incident is avoided.

In the event of an environmental incident, the Construction Contractor will provide CRLL and AC with notification as per the matrix outlined in Table 13 below

Table 13:Environmental incident notification

Severity Level

Incident Classification Notification requirement to CRLL Construction Management

Incident Report Form to CRLLConstruction Management

Insignificant Event that occurs within established controls, e.g. a leak or small spill within a spill containment bund. Via monthly report n/a

Within 12 Hours Within 48 Hours

Investigation Team Investigation Report to be supplied to CRLL

10 Working Days

Immediately upon identification As soon as practical but within 12 Hours

& Construction Contractor Management to allocate resources as appropriate Within 10 Working Days

A summary and review of incidents for the duration of the Project and for the relevant month will be included in the Project MonthlyReport.

CRLL shall be notified of incidents that trigger notification as defined in the incident reporting and investigation procedure. These triggers include off site discharges, unauthorised disturbance or destruction of heritage sites, and breaches and non-conformances of licences and permits issued for the Project.

The Project Director is responsible for notifying CRLL and parent companies of reportable incidents CRLL is responsible for notifying relevant Regulators.

4.5 Communication and Interface with Stakeholders

A Communication and Consultation Plan (Appendix J) has been developed which details the strategy, tools and process to manage communication and engagement between MBJV, its stakeholders and the community throughout the construction and monitoring periods for the Project.

The CCP sets out how the MBJV will inform the community of Project progress and construction dates, foster good relationships with the community, obtain feedback from stakeholders, and outline how complaints and queries will be responded to.

The CCP has been prepared in consultation with stakeholders, directly affected parties and affected in proximity parties.

4.5.1 Public Safety

All sites will be contained within fencing, signage displayed and access into site limited and controlled through site sign-in procedures. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles will be applied during site set up.

Generally site security will be maintained by establishing temporary fences at the perimeter of the works. These may be anchored to or fixed into the ground where their location is critical (e.g. to eliminate fall risks). Gates will be provided at construction entry and exit points and these will be locked shut when the site is unattended. Noise barriers will be integrated with the fences.

All security fences, boundary fences around the construction sites will be maintained in good order to ensure their ongoing functionality.

5 Monitor and Review

5.1 Environmental Monitoring

Scheduled monitoring of environmental performance is required throughout the construction phase of the Project to ensure that no adverse impact on the environment occurs. This enables the overall effectiveness of the environmental controls to be determined and allows areas of non-compliance to be identified so corrective actions can be taken.

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.

The ESM is responsible for the implementation of on-site measurements of environmental aspects, including water quality. External specialists may be used, where required, to conduct specialist monitoring, including noise, vibration, air quality, and non in-situ water monitoring. The initiation of such monitoring is on an as-needed basis and may be in response to contract requirements, complaints or internal requirements.

Environmental monitoring results will be reported to the AC and/or other parties (Such as Heritage New Zealand) when required by consent conditions.

5.1.1

Collaborative Working

The key contacts listed in Table 14 below will meet regularly to discuss:

 Compliance with the designation conditions and the CEMP and DWPs;

 Material changes to the CEMP and DWPs;

 Any matters of non-compliance and how they have been addressed;

 The results of, need for, and frequency of site inspections;

 Environmental monitoring results; and

 Any other agenda items mutually agreed by the Key Contacts

5.1.2

Collaborative Meeting

At least five working days prior to construction commencing the key contacts listed above shall mutually agree an initial schedule for a Collaboration Meeting. The meeting shall be held at least

monthly unless a different timeframe is agreed with the Auckland Council Compliance Monitoring Officer

Collaboration Meetings shall continue for at least 6 months following the completion of construction. Additional meetings between Council and The MBJV/ CRLL specialists may be established on a one off or ongoing basis by mutual agreement of the Key Contacts listed above. These ‘Specialist Meetings’ will allow for the discussion and resolution of technical issues and will provide feedback to the Key Contacts to facilitate decision making in the Collaboration Meeting.

5.2 Environmental Inspections

Weekly Environmental Compliance Inspections are conducted by the ESM (or a delegate). The findings of these inspections will be recorded, along with any required remedial actions, who is responsible for implementing these actions and in what timeframe. The weekly inspection record is to be provided to CRLL as part of the Contractor’s weekly report. These shall be monitored to ensure that they are closed out in the required timeframe. An appropriate framework will be confirmed by the Construction Contractor prior to works commencing.

5.3 Environmental Auditing

Internal (by Project Staff) Environmental Auditing is required to determine whether the environmental management system conforms to planned arrangements and is properly implemented and maintained.

Internal audits will be completed on a quarterly basis by the ESM (or delegate). Findings from the audits will be presented to the Construction Manager within two weeks of conducting the audit.

Internal environmental audits focus on environmental and sustainability matters within a single operational procedure or a group of related operational procedures (e.g. erosion and sediment control procedures, waste management reporting.)

External Environmental Audits will be completed at least annually, to assess the effectiveness of the Environmental Management System.

5.4 Corrective and Preventative Action

Corrective or preventative actions identified during environmental audits shall be commensurate to the magnitude of the problem and appropriate to the environmental harm encountered.

Ultimately the Project Director has responsibility for closing out any corrective or preventative actions resulting from the environmental inspections, audits and external regulatory compliance monitoring. Additionally, assessment and follow-up reviews on the effectiveness of corrective and preventive actions will be undertaken and the outcomes documented, communicated and implemented.

Compliance shall be included as a regular agenda item at management meetings and project meetings. Minutes from each meeting shall record and assign actions to individuals where appropriate.

5.5 Reporting

Reporting requirements will evolve as the Project progresses. In the early phase emphasis is on the establishment of systems, controls and competence of all personnel, while later the emphasis will shift to monitoring performance. When nearing completion (as applicable) the focus will be on final reports to address approval requirements.

The ESM is responsible for managing the Environmental Reporting Program. The Project Director is responsible for submitting the reports required externally.

Reporting requirements include:

 Project internal reporting requirements;

 Reporting to CRLL and key stakeholders as specified within contract documents; and

 Specific reporting to AC where required – refer specific sub-management plans

5.6 Document Control

The ESM is responsible for ensuring all relevant documentation is submitted and maintained within the Project filing and document control system.

Applicable documentation will include but not be limited to:

 All environmental incidents reports and investigation outcomes;

 Weekly and fortnightly environmental checklists and reports files bycontractors;

 Formal and informal audit and environmental inspection reports;

 Any laboratory analysis submitted by external consulting groups;

 Records of environmental training;

 Chain of custody records; and

 Minutes of meetings.

5.7 CEMP Review

This CEMP (including Sub-Plans) will be updated, with the necessary certification by AC, throughout the course of the Project to reflect any changes to consent conditions, relevant legislation and material changes associated with changes to construction techniques or the natural environment. Additionally, they may be updated in response to any unforeseen adverse effects arising from construction, unresolved complaints or environmental incidents. A review may also be initiated by AC in response to comments or recommendations received from AC (Team Leader Central Monitoring) or as a result of the CCP process.

5.7.1 Management Review

A management review of the CEMP and Sub-Plans will be undertaken at least annually by the Project Management team. The management review will be organised by the ESM. The review will take into consideration:

 Site personnel comments;

 Audit findings and recommendations;

 Environmental monitoring records;

 Environmental complaints, incidents and emergencies;

 Details of corrective and preventative actions;

 Environmental non compliances;

 Changes to organisational structure and roles and responsibilities;

 On-going compliance with objectives, conditions and targets; and

 Changes to industry best practice standards, legislation and other statutory requirements.

The review process will include looking at the environmental controls and procedures to make sure they are still applicable to the activities being carried out. Reasons for making changes to the CEMP will be documented. A copy of the original CEMP document and subsequent revisions will be kept for the Project records, and marked as obsolete. Each new/updated revision of the CEMP documentation will be issued with a revision number and date to eliminate obsolete CEMP documentation being used.

5.7.2 Review Certification

Any change to the CEMP or management plans required by the resource consents shall be submitted to AC (Team Leader Central Monitoring) for certification and no activity reliant upon a change to the CEMP can be undertaken until the change has been certified (unless the activity is related to the safe and continuous operation of the TBM) CRLL will request AC’s (Team Leader Central Monitoring) determination as to whether the proposed change can be certified, in writing, within 10 working days of submission of the change.

Any material change proposed to the DWPs required by the designation conditions relating to an adverse effect shall be submitted for approval to the AC Compliance and Monitoring Officer, at least 10 working days prior to the proposed changes taking effect. If any changes are not agreed, the relevant provisions of the RMA relating to approval of outline plan of works shall apply.

A record of feedback from the CLG and IPRP for the CEMP and Sub-Plans is located in Appendix K.

Appendix L: Addendum to Delivery Work Plans

The Project Description given below is intended as a replacement for the Project Descriptions and Overviews given in all the Delivery Work Plans appended to this document

1.0 Project Description

1.1 Nikau Street Stormwater Main Realignment

The purpose of the Project is to enable the construction of the future CRL tunnels by realigning the Nikau Street Stormwater Main which currently represents a critical CRL project constraint. The Project works involve the construction of a replacement stormwater main from the eastern end of Water Street, where it then passes beneath the CRL East Facing Connection (EFC) east of Mount Eden Road, it then continues west to connect into the existing main at the corner of Nikau Street and Ruru Street. The Project includes the construction of a central shaft at Mt Eden Road and shafts at Water Street (Drive) and Nikau Street (Retrieval).

The realigned pipeline will be 2,000mm (internal diameter) and is proposed to be constructed along a horizontally curved (R150m and 802m) alignment which is required to reach the proposed shaft locations. The realigned pipeline and shaft locations have been positioned to avoid the proposed rail alignment, basalt extents and existing properties.

One tunnel drive is proposed from the Water Street shaft. Due to the depth of the upstream and downstream connection points as well as the requirement to pass beneath the proposed CRL alignment (approximately 15-20m), pipe jacking is the proposed construction methodology. Pipejacking is a trenchless construction technique where a Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) with a pressurised slurry system excavates material. Pipes are then horizontally driven using a hydraulic ram from a series of vertical shafts. Therefore, it is proposed to install the following shafts, along with associated CSA’s, at the following locations:

 An access shaft adjacent to Mount Eden Road (approximately 2.7m in diameter), known as the “Mount Eden Road Access Shaft” is located between Mount Eden Road and the North Auckland Line (NAL). The construction activities shall be supported by a CSA of approximately 3928m2 (plus an additional 350m2 for a temporary vehicle access ramp) surrounding the shaft (Appendix B).

 A launch shaft at Water Street (approximately 9.25m diameter and 16.7m deep), known as the “Water Street Shaft” is located within an AT owned vacant site which is currently used as a carpark. The shaft is to be positioned between the end of Water Street and the existing NAL lines. It is proposed to be supported by a CSA of approximately 1500m2 surrounding the shaft (Appendix B).

 A reception shaft at Nikau Street (varies from approximately 6.1m to 10.9m in diameter and 15.4m deep) known as the “Nikau Street Shaft” is located within the footpath at the corner of Nikau Street and Ruru Street. It is proposed to be serviced by a CSA of approximately 900m2 at 16-18 Ruru Street (Appendix B).

 An additional construction support area of 2728m2 will be located at 28 Mt Eden Road. The shaft locations have been strategically selected to avoid clusters of utilities. However, it is expected that some utilities will not be able to be avoided and therefore will need to be protected or relocated before piling and shaft excavation. AT is currently engaging with relevant utility stakeholders

as part of this work and it is anticipated that existing services will either be relocated or protected as part of the access shaft formation.

Other ancillary works are required to enable the construction of the Project and include:

 Relocation and protection of various minor utilities which clash with, or are in close proximity to, the shafts.

 Temporary protection of the Huia No. 2 watermain adjacent to the Nikau Street shaft.

 A section of mined tunnel of approximately 7m will extend under Nikau Street to connect the realigned section of pipe from the Nikau Street shaft into the existing stormwater main at Ruru Street.

 A open cut connection to the existing pipe at Water Street.

 The demolition of 26 Mount Eden Road to enable the construction of the Mount Eden shaft.

 The demolition of 16-18 Ruru Street to enable the property to be used as a worksite and reduce disruption to the adjacent roads and properties. The Nikau Street shaft cannot be fully located within this property as a permanent manhole and riser is required by AC for maintenance access at this location.

 The demolition of 28 Mount Eden Road to enable the use of the site as a construction support area. The floor slab and external impervious surfaces will remain in place. No excavation is proposed on this site.

 Three new connections are required to connect the realigned Nikau Street Stormwater Main to the existing stormwater mains within Ruru Street at the corner of Nikau Street and Ruru Street.

 In addition, three permanent access shafts are proposed within the reception and launch shafts during reinstatement at Water Street, Mount Eden Road and Nikau Street to accommodate access associated with the ongoing operation and maintenance of the realigned Nikau Street Stormwater Main.

 Three new Gross Pollutant Traps (GPT’s) on Boston Road (two) and Normanby Road (one). These works will require excavating pits of approximately 6 m wide, 6 m long and 7.9 m deep to install new 2.5 m wide GPTs and manholes (Figure 3).

The Project works are anticipated to take up to 13 months depending on the methodology chosen by the Construction Contractor. Subject to obtaining resource consent, works are expected to commence in March 2018.

Whether the existing abandoned alignment is backfilled or used for stormwater storage is still to be agreed with Council.
