Contamination Delivery Work Plan / Management Plan
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 (NAL) in the vicinity of Mt Eden Station. The CRL also involves the construction of two new underground stations at Aotea and Karangahape and a redeveloped Mt Eden Station (refer to Figure 1-1). The design and construction of the CRL infrastructure between Aotea and Mt Eden Stations is being delivered by the Link Alliance. This Contamination Delivery Work Plan (CDWP) has been prepared in relation to early works along and in the vicinity of Normanby Road, hereafter referred as the ‘Normanby Road early works’.
Figure 1-1: CRL Route and Location
1.1 Overview of CRL Works in Mt Eden The CRL works in the Mt Eden area involve the construction of the southern section of the tunnel structures and the tie-in to the existing NAL, including the construction of the redeveloped Mt Eden Station. The Mt Eden Active Construction Zone (ACZ) and Construction Support Areas (CSA) for the NAL Mt Eden section are generally located between State Highway 1 (SH1) to the east and Dominion Road to the west. The works in this area include: • • • • • Page 6
Construction of an underground grade separation structure near Mt Eden Station; A new Mt Eden Station building incorporating passenger linkages; Modifications to the existing Mt Eden Station platforms; Road over rail bridges at Mt Eden Road, Normanby Road and Ruru Street with sections of road realignment; Grade separation structures and the east- and west-facing connections for the existing and new rail lines to pass-over and connect with each other;
| Normanby Road Early Works
Contamination Delivery Work Plan / Management Plan • •
Pedestrian and cyclist bridge structures at Fenton Street and Porters Avenue; and New road linkages within the reinstated area post-construction.
Given the nature and scale of CRL works in Mt Eden, construction will be undertaken in a staged manner. This CDWP only relates to one component of the CRL Mt Eden works, the Normanby Road early works, as described in Section 2 below.
1.2 Purpose of the Contamination DWP This CDWP has been prepared to outline measures that will be implemented to mitigate and manage the potential human health and environmental effects associated with potentially contaminated soil encountered during the Normanby Road early works. The objective of the CDWP is to detail the best practicable options to avoid, remedy, or mitigate the adverse effects of contaminated soil discharges generated by construction activities. CRL Designation 2500-6 (conditions 57 and 58) requires the preparation of a CDWP while conditions 131-150 of the discharge permit (R/REG/2016/1895) and land use consent (R/LUC/2016/1890) require a Contaminated Soils Management Plan. These two separate requirements have been combined and are addressed in this single CDWP. This CDWP has been prepared in consultation with Mana Whenua and the Mt Eden Community and Business Liaison Group (CLG) and reviewed by Independent Peer Review (IPR) prior to submission to Auckland Council (as per Conditions 7 and 11 of the designation, and Condition 19 of the resource consent). A record of the consultation and review outcomes, including the Link Alliance’s response to matters raised, is included in Appendix A. This CDWP has been prepared in general accordance with Ministry for the Environment (MfE) ‘Contaminated Land Management Guideline No. 1: Reporting on Contaminated Sites in New Zealand’ (revised 2011, MfE 2011a), and forms part of the Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) for the Normanby Road early works.

Normanby Road Early Works
2.1 Overview of Works The Normanby Road early works involve demolition of the building at 11 Water Street, establishment of a Construction Support Area, construction of a temporary pedestrian bridge across the NAL and two retaining walls, and diversion of temporary and permanent utilities (such as water, wastewater, stormwater, gas, electricity and communications) along and in the vicinity of Normanby Road. The early works are required in advance of the main construction works to provide adequate clearance between the CRL works and network utilities to enable construction of retaining walls, the Normanby Road grade separation bridge and the realigned Normanby Road / Boston Road / Nugent Street roundabout. The Normanby Road early works are planned to extend over eight months, between February 2020 and September 2020. Figure 2.1 shows the area of these works.

2.4 Summary of Anticipated Soil and Groundwater Quality The Geology of the Auckland area map (Edbrooke, 2001) and limited investigation data from the wider CRL project indicates that the geology within the Normanby Road early works area consists of made ground using old construction waste and compressed clay (uncontrolled fill) overlying volcanic tuff (ash) and basalt. Limited contaminated land investigation work has been carried out within the area of the Normanby Road early works and therefore the contaminant condition of the fill and underlying geology is unknown. Due to the presence of the uncontrolled fill and the current/historical surrounding commercial/industrial land use activities (plastic manufacturing and timber treatment), there is a risk soil contamination is present in the fill and could be encountered during land disturbance activities within the early works area. Based on investigations undertaken across the wider CRL construction footprint (AECOM 2012, Golder 2016) and until confirmed otherwise, it must be assumed the uncontrolled fill contains elevated concentrations of: • • • • Page 13
Heavy Metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Hg, Ni, Zn); Asbestos; Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (Benzo(a)pyrene); and Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons. | Normanby Road Early Works
Contamination Delivery Work Plan / Management Plan Without sampling undertaken prior to works starting, all uncontrolled fill encountered and excavated within the Normanby Road early works area is assumed to be contaminated until otherwise proven. In addition, asbestos is potentially present within the uncontrolled fill and in the underground wastewater and stormwater cement pipes.

Regulations
3.1 Resource Management: National Environmental Standard for Assessing and Managing Contaminants in Soil to Protect Human Health (NES Soil) The NES Soil regulations provide a set of chemical specific soil contaminant thresholds that define an adequate level of protection for human health for a range of differing land-uses in New Zealand (referred to as soil contaminant standards or SCS). For the Normanby Road early works, the NES SCS for commercial/industrial land use has been adopted.
3.2 Asbestos in Soils (BRANZ) The management of asbestos in soils is regulated under the Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016 (Asbestos Regulations, Worksafe 2016). In order to help achieve compliance with the Asbestos Regulations, WorkSafe New Zealand has prepared an Approved Code of Practice (ACoP): Management and Removal of Asbestos (September 2016). The ACoP refers readers to the BRANZ Asbestos in Soil Guidelines (BRANZ 2017). The key requirements of the Asbestos Regulations, ACoP and BRANZ are that works involving asbestos contaminated soils must be undertaken with appropriate asbestos controls in place and that contaminated soil removed from site must be taken to an approved disposal site. Table 3-1 provides a summary of the controls indicated in the NZ Asbestos in Soil Guidelines for different concentrations of Asbestos Fines /Fibrous Asbestos (AF/FA) and ACM. As there is no indication that asbestos is present in the soils that are to be disturbed as part of the Normanby Road early works, the soil disturbance can be undertaken as “unlicensed asbestos works”. However, if additional information comes to hand that indicates that asbestos is present, or asbestos is discovered during soil disturbance then the works will need to be reassessed against the requirements of Table 3-1.

4.1 Overview This section details the procedures for the management of potentially contaminated soil, stormwater and groundwater during land disturbance activities. It includes control measures for management and mitigation of potentially adverse human health effects associated with exposure to contaminated media, and the control of discharges to air, land and water. Site management goals for the Normanby Road early works are as follows: •
To ensure that the land disturbance activities associated with the works are completed in accordance with designation and resource consent requirements;
•
To manage and mitigate potential risk to the health of the workers and neighbouring parties during proposed land disturbance activities;
•
To manage and mitigate potential environmental effects that may be generated as a consequence of the proposed land disturbance activities; and
•
To ensure that any spoil generated for off-site disposal is managed appropriately and is disposed to a licensed facility authorised to accept such materials.
4.2 Excavated Soil Management The protocols below will be applied to all earthworks associated with the Normanby Road early works: •
Erosion and sediment controls shall be implemented in accordance with the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) prepared for the Normanby Road early works before earthworks commence;
•
Where possible excavated soil shall be placed directly into a truck for off-site disposal. If stockpiling is to occur the material shall be stockpiled within the CSA (refer ESCP Drawing Area A) in accordance with the ESCP. At a minimum if stockpiling is to occur overnight or during rainfall the stockpiles shall be covered by an impermeable material and bunded.
•
Spillages of soil during placement in trucks shall be cleaned up as soon as practicable following the spillage. Spillages shall not be left unattended as contaminated soil could be trafficked by trucks and transported off-site; and
•
The earthworks shall be observed by the CLP. If unexpected contamination is encountered during works, the works shall cease in the immediate vicinity and the procedures documented in Section 8 of this CDWP shall be followed.
4.2.1.
Oversight/Supervision
The CLP for the Normanby Road early works will undertake regular inspection and/or supervise soil disturbance activities during construction. This will be a minimum of one inspection per fortnight by the CLP or a delegated person approved by the CLP.
4.2.2.
Transportation of Soil
The following measures shall be implemented to prevent soils (including any potentially contaminated material) from being dispersed onto roads or transported to another site (excluding transport to a disposal facility) as well as to minimise generation of dust: Page 18
| Normanby Road Early Works
Contamination Delivery Work Plan / Management Plan •
Any excess soil on vehicle tyres shall be removed before vehicles leave the works area. A wheel wash will be established on site and vehicles that have tracked over exposed soils will be required to exit the works area via the wheel wash;
•
Excess soil shall be removed from vehicles and plant before they leave the works area;
•
All trucks transporting excavated soil to the selected disposal facility shall be covered to prevent the spillage of soil and dust emissions; and
•
If sampling or site observations indicate the presence of asbestos, then additional controls (refer vehicle protection and vehicle washing facilities in Table 3-1) will be required for the disturbance of asbestos contaminated fill material.
4.2.3.
Validation Sampling
No validation sampling is planned to be undertaken as part of these works. The disposal facility may require sampling and analysis of the excavated material to meet their consent requirements. They will nominate the sampling required (each disposal facility holds individual requirements i.e. 1 sample per 500 m3).
4.2.4.
Record Keeping
The following reuse, off-site soil disposal management and record keeping measures will be implemented by the Link Alliance: •
A record of the works undertaken, soil location, depth, and volume of the material removed, and results of tests shall be kept for the purpose of being included in the Site Validation Report (SVR) to be prepared by the CLP, refer to Section 8. Records will also indicate whether the material was removed as cleanfill, managed fill or contaminated fill.
•
Irrespective of the disposal facility nominated, all vehicle movements including registration, estimated weight, and disposal location will be recorded.
•
Tracking documentation is to be signed prior to leaving the works area and checked at the waste disposal facility.
•
Transportation subcontractors are required to cover loads and take appropriate measures to control dust.
•
Trucks will be inspected prior to departing the site to ensure the load is adequately covered and any spillage is contained.
•
A record of any contaminated soil left in-situ including the soil location, depth and estimated volume shall also be recorded for the purpose of being included in the SVR. This includes the reuse of soil to back fill or make good any ground within the Normanby Road early works.
Receipts summarising soil disposal will be collated and provided to the CLP at the completion of the land disturbance activities for the works.
4.3 Soil Disposal Classification The majority of spoil material generated as part of the early works will likely be removed from the works area and disposed off-site. A summary of preliminary soil classifications for the project is provided in the following sub-sections.
Page 19

Contamination Delivery Work Plan / Management Plan
4.3.1.
Cleanfill
Cleanfill is defined in the AUP as follows: “Means natural material such as clay, gravel, sand, soil and rock which has been excavated or quarried from areas that are not contaminated with manufactured chemicals or chemical residues as a result of industrial, commercial, mining or agricultural activities. Excludes: •
Hazardous substances and material (such as municipal solid waste) likely to create leachate by means of biological breakdown;
•
Product and materials derived from hazardous waste treatment, stabilisation and disposal practices;
•
Materials such as medical and veterinary waste, asbestos, and radioactive substances;
•
Soil and fill material which contain any trace element specified in Table E30.6.1.4.2 at a concentration greater than the background concentration in Auckland soils specified in Auckland Regional Council (ARC 2002);
•
Sulfidic ores and soils;
•
Combustible components;
•
More than 5% by volume of inert manufactured materials (e.g. concrete, brick, tiles); and
•
More than 2% by volume of attached biodegradable material (e.g. vegetation)”.
Cleanfill material can be disposed at a facility where cleanfill material is accepted, but excludes: •
Storage and use of cleanfill material within an earthworks site for the purpose of engineering contours for specific activities,
•
Placement of cleanfill material associated with road construction and maintenance activities, and
•
Onsite storage and use of overburden or aggregate by-product that is cleanfill material associated with mineral extraction activities.
Natural soil materials including Volcanic Tuff and Basalt materials are required to be analysed prior to being classified as cleanfill and may be disposed at a consented disposal facility to accept volcanic cleanfill soils such as the Ridge Road Cleanfill (Pukekohe, Auckland); or to other project sites in the region.
4.3.2.
Managed Fill/Soil Material
Managed fill is defined in the AUP as follows: •
contaminated soil and other contaminated materials;
•
natural materials such as clay, gravel, sand, soil, rock; or
•
inert manufactured materials such as concrete and brick: and
That does not contain: •
hazardous substances or materials (such as municipal solid waste) likely to create leachate by means of biological breakdown;
•
products or materials derived from hazardous waste treatment stabilisation or disposal practices;
•
materials such as medical and veterinary waste, asbestos, or radioactive substances;
Page 20
| Normanby Road Early Works
Contamination Delivery Work Plan / Management Plan •
combustible components; or
•
more than 2 per cent by volume of incidental or attached biodegradable materials (e.g. vegetation).
Managed fill typically contains concentrations of contaminants above cleanfill requirements but below the requirements of the contaminated fill landfill. However, acceptance requirements of facilities licensed to accept managed fill vary considerably and approval will need to be gained from each managed fill disposal facility prior to disposal. Additionally, disposal of managed fill must be to a facility authorised (by regulatory bodies such as Auckland Council or Waikato Regional Council) to receive the material.
4.3.3.
Contaminated Fill
For the purposes of this CDWP contaminated fill1 comprises: •
Hazardous materials in the form of household and industrial waste, organic waste or asbestos containing material, and / or
•
Soil with contamination present above managed fill criteria.
It is proposed that all contaminated fill disturbed as part of the earthworks will be removed from site to a licenced facility. Disposal of contaminated fill must be to a landfill authorised to receive the material. Landfill acceptance criteria vary between waste facilities and these should be confirmed prior to the removal of soil from site. Any spoil materials generated within the works area which cannot be accepted at a managed fill site (due to site specific restriction) must be removed to a contaminated fill facility. Examples include Hampton Downs (Waikato) and Redvale landfill (Auckland) facilities. Pre-approval will be required for these disposal locations.
4.4 Water Management 4.4.1.
Stormwater
Separation and diversion of clean stormwater away from areas of ground disturbance is standard practice for any earthworks activity but becomes more important where contaminants are present. To minimise the potential for clean stormwater to encounter contaminated soil the stormwater and sediment controls detailed in the ESCP for the Normanby Road early works shall be implemented. Where stormwater run-off has encountered soil originating from the Normanby Road early works, this water will be considered potentially contaminated until tested and proven otherwise. All run-off water that has encountered potentially contaminated soil will be disposed of via a licensed liquid waste contractor.
4.4.2.
Groundwater
Groundwater is not expected to be encountered during the works, however, for any groundwater that is encountered during the Normanby Road early works, this water will be considered potentially contaminated until otherwise tested. All groundwater will be removed be disposed of via a licensed liquid waste contractor or discharged to the stormwater system, where sampling has been undertaken 1
For the purpose of this Contamination Delivery Works Plan the term ‘Contaminated Fill’ is interchangeable with the terms ‘Contaminated Soil’ and ‘Contaminated Material’. Page 21 | Normanby Road Early Works
Contamination Delivery Work Plan / Management Plan and results show compliance with 50 times the Australian and New Zealand Environment Conservation Council (ANZECC) Guidelines for Fresh and Marine Water Quality (2000) (ANZECC, 2000).
4.5 Dust Management Refer to the dust mitigation measures that are set out in Section 6.2 of the Air Quality Management DWP prepared for the Normanby Road early works.
Page 22

Contamination Delivery Work Plan / Management Plan
4.6 Odour Management Refer to the odour mitigation measures that are set out in Section 6.5 of the Air Quality Management DWP prepared for the Normanby Road early works.
4.7 Materials Importation 4.7.1.
General
Materials will be required to be imported to the works area to complete the subgrade. Two sources of material are proposed, clean quarry materials and recycled crushed concrete aggregate. Material sourced from a certified quarry or supplier does not require testing. This material is considered to meet the definition of cleanfill (refer Section 4.3.1). Any crushed concrete reused will be managed in accordance with the process outlined in Section 4.7.2.
4.7.2.
Crushed Concrete
Prior to acceptance of crushed concrete aggregate, the contractor will request the following information from the supplier to confirm suitability for use: •
Address of source site.
•
Copies of any pre-demolition asbestos surveys.
•
Copies of any asbestos clearance certificates prepared prior to demolition.
This information will be reviewed by the CLP, who will advise the Link Alliance regarding suitability. The following verification and testing regime will be completed by the CLP in support of the acceptance of recycled crushed concrete aggregate. •
The CLP will complete periodic site walkovers. Visual observations will be made for the presence of plastic, metal, or other waste fragments such as potential asbestos sheeting.
•
Testing will be completed from stockpiled materials at the site at rate of one sample per 500 m 3.
•
Bulk samples of suspect asbestos-containing materials will be analysed via an appropriatelyaccredited laboratory.
•
Soil samples will be analysed via the BRANZ guideline document New Zealand Guidelines for Assessing and Managing Asbestos in Soil (BRANZ 2017).
•
Samples may be analysed for asbestos presence/absence as a screening measure, at the discretion of the CLP.
The Link Alliance and the CLP will retain records pertaining to materials importation completed. These will be issued to the CLP for inclusion in the SVR (refer Section 8).

Health and Safety Plan
This CDWP provides procedures for site personnel working in and around contaminated and/or potentially contaminated soil and water during the excavation works. The following is designed to dovetail with the Construction Health and Safety Management Plan. The Link Alliance’s Health and Safety Manager will be responsible for ensuring these procedures are implemented. The procedures have been developed to provide a framework for managing contamination related effects at the site. However, these procedures are not intended to relieve the owner or controller of the place of work of either their responsibility for the health and safety of their workers, contractors and the public, or their responsibility for the protection of the environment. All parties working on the Normanby Road early works shall comply with: •
Applicable parts of the Health and Safety Policy;
•
Construction Health and Safety Management Plan;
•
Any requirements of WorkSafe New Zealand;
•
The Health and Safety at Work Act 2016 and Regulations (incl Asbestos Regulations); and
• Any other applicable legislation, regulations, codes and guidelines. Sub-contractors engaged on the project are required to provide their own Health and Safety Plan for their equipment and workers.
5.1
Control Measures
When considering hazard and risk controls, the hierarchy listed below will be followed, in preference from one to five. Example questions are provided to illustrate each step. 1. 2. 3. 4.
ELIMINATION – does the task that creates the hazard need to be performed? SUBSTITUTION – can a different tool be used? ENGINEERING – can the hazard be guarded to protect people? ADMINISTRATION – are there warning signs and a procedure to address the hazard? Administrative controls include procedures to reduce the risks associated with identified hazards. These controls include: a) Job Safety Analysis (JSA) or Task Analysis. b) Work plans. c) Training. d) Warning signs. e) Communication with the Site Manager/HSO. 5. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT – is the appropriate PPE being used? The following is noted: a) PPE is considered the lowest level of protection against a hazard. b) No single combination of protective equipment and clothing can provide protection against all hazards; PPE should be used in conjunction with other protective methods. c) The types of PPE will depend on the specific task undertaken. However, certain PPE is required in all work areas.

5.2
Site Inductions
The provisions of this CDWP shall be outlined to all parties during the site health and safety induction and acknowledged formally as part of the works (i.e. signed project induction register) prior to personnel being allowed on site. There will be limited access to the works area and only inducted personnel will have access. All personnel shall be inducted with full details of the following: •
Health and safety plan.
•
Daily toolbox meeting requirements.
•
Identification of all hazards, including roles relating to the hazard board and procedures.
•
Restricted areas and their associated requirements.
•
Measures to control exposure to identified hazards including required personal protective equipment.
•
Health and safety controls relating to potentially contaminated soil materials in the works area. This should include procedures to limit the presence of ignition sources in these areas (e.g. no smoking within or adjacent to construction area, no welding or open flames near areas with high concentrations of hydrocarbon contamination).
•
Procedures relating to contingency measures for unexpected discovery of contamination and incident reporting, including asbestos awareness.
5.3
Daily toolbox Hazard Identification
Daily toolbox meetings shall include hazard identification for the proposed daily activities. A risk-based approach should be applied to the management of all hazards. Once a hazard is identified, it should be assessed to determine the level of risk and consideration should be made to the potential consequence of the harm and its likelihood for occurrence. Once the hazard has been assessed, reasonably practicable steps should be taken to control the hazard applying the following hierarchy of
Page 25
| Normanby Road Early Works
Contamination Delivery Work Plan / Management Plan controls (refer Section 7.1). The hazard board and review of controls should be completed daily in toolbox talks.
5.4
Personal Protective Equipment
The minimum PPE required for all persons engaged in any land disturbance activities (potential exposure to contaminated soil or water materials) includes: •
Nitrile gloves/leather gloves/PVC Palm or otherwise as appropriate to the task.
•
Safety boots (ankle high, steel capped with non-slip durable soles).
•
Hard hat.
•
Safety glasses.
•
Long sleeved shirts and long pants or coveralls.
The following additional PPE will be made available if required. •
Dust masks.
•
Half face respirators fitted with organic and particulate vapour cartridges.
5.5
Personal Decontamination
The Link Alliance will provide a personnel decontamination station during land disturbance works. This will include a space to remove and store potentially contaminated clothing and hand washing facilities. A ‘clean zone’ will be provided for site workers to eat, drink, and smoke. Workers will be advised not eat, drink, or smoke outside the clean zone during the completion of land disturbance activities. Staff must wash their face and hands at the completion of land disturbance activities and prior to eating, drinking, or smoking.
5.6
Communication Plan
Details of communication and consultation procedures are detailed within the Normanby Road early works Communication and Consultation Plan (CCP), including the way in which the general public are to be communicated with on matters relating to the early works, including the management of adverse effects relating to the removal of contaminated fill, and the process for public and affected parties to register a complaint. Refer to Sections 6 and 7 of the CCP.

6.
Unexpected Discovery of Contamination
6.1 General It is possible that unexpected contamination or hazardous materials could be discovered during the excavation works – including but not limited to the following: •
Intact or broken drums and containers.
•
Soil materials with unusual odours.
•
Indicators of coal tar, e.g. strong naphthalene (moth ball) odour and texture ranging from viscous tar to low density clinker rock.
•
Discoloured or stained water seeps and soils.
•
Hydrocarbon contaminated soil and/or free product.
•
Liquid waste and any material that normally would be sent to a licensed landfill.
During land disturbance works site, workers will actively monitor works areas for the conditions/materials specified above. In the event that one of these is identified, the following actions shall be taken: •
Work will cease.
•
The Link Alliance will contact the CLP.
•
Health and safety restrictions will be implemented including limiting access to the area, shut down equipment to reduce potential ignition sources and move workers to an upwind location.
•
The CLP will advise on the appropriate course of action. This may include the completion of additional soil testing. All sampling and testing shall be completed in general accordance with Contaminated Land Management Guidelines, No.5 – Site Investigation and Analysis of Soils, Ministry for the Environment (revised 2011, MfE 2011b).
•
The Link Alliance/Construction Contractor will notify (in writing) the Team Leader of Central Monitoring of the identification and the proposed course of action recommended by the CLP.
•
Work shall not resume unless authorised by the Link Alliance under advice of the CLP.
•
Record all details on an incident form, including GPS of location, what steps were undertaken, and details of material encountered. If impacted material is to remain on site, the location and type of material observed, along with any analytical sampling results, shall be recorded for inclusion in the Site Validation Report.
•
If the CLP considers it appropriate, the suspected contaminated material may be excavated into a covered bin to allow works to continue with minimum delay.
•
If excavation into a covered bin is inappropriate, construction work should proceed to an area clear of contamination indicators until material testing as necessary defines the material characteristics.
•
If unsuitable material is to be directly loaded into trucks for disposal at a licensed landfill, all appropriate information such as location, quantity and off-site weighbridge dockets must be recorded.

Contamination Delivery Work Plan / Management Plan
6.2 Asbestos Should asbestos be observed or suspected during the land disturbance works, all work shall cease, and an asbestos professional will be engaged to review site conditions and provide guidance as to how to proceed. The following regulations and guidelines should be followed with respect to asbestos management: •
Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016.
•
New Zealand Guidelines for Assessing and Managing Asbestos in Soil (BRANZ 2017).
Works can recommence once asbestos has been appropriately managed/safely removed as advised by the asbestos professional.

Query to address
Addressed
This section provides a definition of managed fill taken from the WasteMinz Technical Guidelines for the Disposal to Land (2018). However, Auckland Council has not yet adopted this document, in part because it is still being revised and has not been endorsed by Ministry for the Environment.
Accordingly, could the consent holder please revise this section to include the definition of managed fill as provided under the Auckland Unitary Plan (Operative in Part) for any materials to be disposed of within the Auckland region.
Yes
Accordingly, we would be grateful if this section could be revised to reflect this.
Yes
Accordingly, could this section please be revised to reflect this.
Yes
Accordingly, the managed fill description provided in this section is not considered appropriate for materials being disposed of within the Auckland region, and may only refer to soils to be disposed of outside this region At present this section nominates a sampling frequency of 1 sample per 1500m3 of crushed concrete material imported to site. However, we consider that this rate is too low, and note that a sampling rate of 1 sample per 500m3 has been agreed upon for other CRL project areas recently assessed by Council. Additionally, we note that the section states that sampling will be analysed via the Western Australian (WA) Department of Health Guidelines for the Assessment, Remediation and Management of Asbestos-Contaminated Sites in
Page 31
| Normanby Road Early Works
Contamination Delivery Work Plan / Management Plan Western Australia (May 2009) methodology. However, this guideline has been superseded by the BRANZ (2017) guideline document New Zealand Guidelines for Assessing and Managing Asbestos in Soil, for asbestos assessment and management in New Zealand. 6
Whilst we’re generally satisfied with this section of the CDWP, it is noted that no reference is made to the requirement that the Team Leader of Central Monitoring is notified upon the unexpected discovery of contamination as required under condition 161 of the consent.
Could the applicant please revise this section in the same or similar manner.
This has been requested in review comments for the CDWP for other components of the CRL project, and has been addressed by CRL by the inclusion of the following bullet point: The Link Alliance/Construction Contractor will notify (in writing) the Team Leader of Central Monitoring of the identification and the proposed course of action recommended by the CLS Overall feedback: Whilst I am generally satisfied with the documents provided, I note a few discrepancies between the draft CDWP and the CDWPs for other CRL project areas.
