6.1.2.
Collaborative Meeting
At least five working days prior to construction commencing the key contacts will mutually agree on an initial schedule for a collaborative meeting. The meeting will be held at least monthly unless a different timeframe is agreed with Auckland Council. The collaborative working process will operate for the duration of the works (and will continue to operate for the duration of the wider Karangahape Station works in accordance with the conditions). The ESM will be responsible for co-ordinating any changes to the CEMP or sub-plans required as a result of the collaborative working process and communicating these updates or information resulting from the collaborative working process with the Project team.
6.2
Environmental Inspections
Weekly environmental inspections will be conducted by the ESM (or a delegate) during the works. The findings of these inspections, any required remedial actions, the person responsible for implementing the actions and the required timeframe will all be recorded. These shall be monitored to ensure they are closed out in the necessary timeframe. Requirements for specific environmental inspections are provided in the suite of sub-plans with checklists and for some of them, recording inspection sheets are provided in Appendices of the sub-plans.
6.3
Environmental Auditing
Internal (by project Staff) environmental auditing will be undertaken to determine whether the environmental management system conforms to planned arrangements and is being properly implemented and maintained. Internal auditing will take place on a quarterly basis by the ESM (or a delegate). Internal environmental audits focus on environmental and sustainability matters within a single operational procedure/group of related operational procedures (for example, erosion and sediment control procedures). Environmental management procedures are provided in section 5 of this CEMP. External Environmental and Sustainability Audits (by Parent Company Staff not involved in the project or a suitably qualified consultant) will be completed as per the project Audit Schedule, and at least annually, to assess the effectiveness of the Environmental Management System. Audit findings (internal and external) will be provided to the Karangahape Station Construction Manager/Project Manager within two to four weeks of the audit. Recommendations on corrective/preventive actions will be provided to address any environmental/sustainability matters to be improved or as a result of non-compliances (refer to section 6.4 for further detail).
6.4
Corrective and Preventive Action
Corrective or preventive actions identified during environmental audits shall be appropriately based on the magnitude of the problem and the environmental harm encountered.
