8. Environmental Compliance Management and Review
8.1 Site Inspections
Regular inspections of the main works areas will be undertaken throughout the construction duration as outlined in Section 6.2 of the CEMP. Site inspections will include inspections of industrial and trade related activities to ensure the integrity of activities and devices is maintained and to minimise the potential for the discharge of contaminants from the main works areas that might have adverse effects on the receiving environment. Site inspections will be conducted (and documented) weekly and include the following elements:
Check bunding and containment systems around hazardous substances are intact; Check water treatment systems are operating correctly to manage contaminated water; Check all loading and unloading areas are clear of spillage and debris; Check the appropriate storage of materials on-site in order to prevent spillage and have appropriate HAZCHEM warning and information signage; Check site for evidence of spills that require clean up; Check construction vehicles for signs of leakage; Check spill kits are fully stocked, clearly labelled and appropriately located; and Check waste skips and containers for capacity, signs of leakage and ensure they are covered to prevent rain water ingress. 8.2
Environmental Audits
An internal environmental and sustainability audit will be undertaken 30 days from commencement of each key stage of the main works and at least a quarterly basis. The purpose of the audit is to check the implementation of, and compliance with, environmental management procedures and controls, including those outlined in this ITA EMP. The audit findings will be reported accordingly to enable any discrepancies to be identified and actioned.
External environmental and sustainability audits will be completed as per the main works Audit Schedule, and at least annually, to assess the effectiveness of the Environmental Management System.
Refer to Section 6.3 of the CEMP for further detail on these audits.
Corrective action is required on the basis of the occurrence of substandard performance being observed or experienced, resulting in an environmental complaint, incident or emergency or where a significant environmental incident or emergency could have occurred. Refer to Section 6.4of the CEMP for further detail on corrective and preventative action during the main works.
