2. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Objective of the Environmental Management Plan

The objective of this Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) is to minimise the adverse impact of construction activities on the environment.

This objective will be achieved by:

- Identifying possible environmental risks;

- Setting up systems to reduce the risk; and

- Managing and maintaining the systems throughout the project to ensure

correct function of the Control Systems.

1.2 Responsibility for Implementation

The Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) will provide a description of the procedures to be followed during excavation and general site works. Emphasis will be placed on the management and protection of the local environment.

Qanstruct (Australia) Pty Limited (Qanstruct) will be responsible to implement the Control Systems and procedures outlined in this CEMP.

All subcontractors will be briefed on the plan and will be required to adhere to the systems and procedures outlined. If a section of works does not comply with this plan, rectification of that area will be made a priority until such time it complies with systems and procedures of this plan.

3439/CEMP v0_6 3

3. DESCRIPTION OF CONSTRUCTION WORKS

2.1 Scope & Location

Qanstruct has been engaged by Toll IPEC to undertake the design and construction of a Warehouse facility at Link Road, Melbourne Airport.

The 'on site' works will include site preparation, bulk earthworks & construction of the facility. During the construction of the facility it will require the use of Excavators, Rollers for bulk earthworks and the use of Cranes, EWPs for Steel and Tilt Panel Erection and the loading of the roof sheets. During this time there will be frequent deliveries of construction materials on heavy haulage trucks.

The subject site is located on Melbourne Airport. The site is relatively flat. Surface run-off from the site during construction works is expected to discharge to existing drains to the south of the site. Any surface run-off or pumped discharges shall be directed to properly constructed sediment control barriers prior to final discharge to these drains. Refer to civil drawings which detail the location of existing and proposed drains.

We note that whilst there are no natural creeks, streams and rivers nearby that may be affected by the works, we acknowledge the potential for sediment/ waste water to enter the drainage system on the Airport. Therefore, caution will be exercised to ensure that no pollutants enter the stormwater system.

There are specific conditions defined by Melbourne Airport in their Development Manual for Capital and Maintenance Works (Dec 2009) that have been incorporated into this plan A Site Establishment Plan (comprising the Traffic Management Plan for General Construction works) is included as Appendix A.

2.2 Key Activities of the Construction Works

3439/CEMP v0_6 7

An Environmental Management Plan Inspection Record will be used on site to inspect adherence to this Environmental Management Plan and is included as Appendix C

5. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

5.1 Control Method Specifications

5.1.1 Diversion Drains / Banks

This area has already been constructed therefore Qanstruct will maintain the existing stormwater system.

5.1.2 Table Drains

Given the size of the project, there will not be a requirement for table drains to be constructed.

5.1.3 Sediment Control Barriers

Sediment Control Barriers will be constructed using sediment logs or gravel sausage. They will be installed around the mouth of side entry pits. Water will slowly filter through the logs which will remove the suspended contaminants. Installation will be as per ‘‘Keeping our stormwater clean --- A builder’s Guide 2006’’.

Logs will be monitored and serviced regularly as required (e.g. after heavy rains or when there is a build up of sediment).

Rock logs are to be positioned around the perimeter of all pits that are lower than existing soil level. This is to provide extra sediment protection prior to construction works being completed. The areas around these pits are to be kept rolled/ compacted to assist with the above mentioned controls.

5.1.4 Velocity Control

Velocity of water will be controlled in drains using a large rock that will be placed in the base of the drain to slow the water to prevent erosion of the drain

5.1.5 Stockpiles

The quantity of spoil to be stockpiled will be minimal as all contractors will be required to remove all spoil from the site.

The stockpiles will be located on a flat section of land. Each stockpiles will be constructed with a slope no greater than 2:1 (horizontal: vertical). As the stockpiles are temporary, they will be 'dressed' as smooth as possible to minimise dust and erosion. The stockpiles will be watered should the potential for dusting occurs. All stockpiles will have silt fences placed there perimeter.

3439/CEMP v0_6 8

If required, dust will be minimised by using a water truck to spray stockpile/s and reduce opportunity for bird attracting activity.

If required, a sediment control barrier will be constructed around the base.

If Melbourne Airport identifies a wildlife or dust risk the soil piles will be covered or removed.

3439/CEMP v0_6 9

5.1.6 De-watering of Site

De-watering will be minimal on this project and where required, water will be removed from the work area by a mobile pump which will be kept as close to the surface of pool as possible. Care will be taken to avoid pumping from the bottom of pools and constant supervision will be provided during pumping operations to ensure this does not happen.

Water will be primarily pumped to vacant land adjacent to the site, with any water that is discharged to any waterway or stormwater drain will be in accordance with EPA Pub 48, which specifies that construction run-off should be less that 30 NTU before reaching waterways.

As mentioned in 5.1.3 Sediment Control Barriers (P7) will be constructed using sediment logs or gravel sausage. They will be positioned at the mouth of side entry pits to the south of the site. These barriers will be monitored and serviced regularly or as required ie after heavy rain or when there is a build up of sediment.

5.1.7 Use of Site Machinery and Plant --- including noise / vibration / fumes/

airspace encroachment

All plant and machinery that enters the site will adhere to local Occupational Health and Safety legislative requirements; including provision of a current logbook outlining service intervals, hours of use and maintenance carried out.

Qanstruct’s OH&S Management Plan further details requirements for site plant and machinery, including the requirements prior to the start of works for evidence of operator’s license/ competency, records of recent maintenance, current plant risk assessment and completion of a daily pre- start log book.

Any plant and machinery that has not been serviced and maintained will not be operated on site.

If any plant requires certification, then such documentation will be made available upon request. And if any plant or machinery is the subject of a Workplace Health & Safety notice, orders or any other form of restriction, then it will not be used on site.

If any machine is to be found to be producing excessive noise / vibration / fumes, it will be serviced immediately to resolve the problem.

Crane lifts will not to exceed 42.5m above ground level (i.e. 157.5mAHD) --- and are very unlikely to even come near this height given the reduced height of the facility being constructed.

3439/CEMP v0_6 10

5.1.8 Storage of Fuels

Fuels storage will be kept to a minimum.

Minor quantities of fuel that are kept on site will be stored in containers specifically design for the storage of fuel (i.e. fuel tanks attached to plant and equipment).

All large machines will be re-fuelled by mini-tankers on site. Re-fuelling with small quantities of fuel kept in the site container to run generators and pumps, will also take place with care to avoid spillage. If fuel is split, the soil will be excavated and removed to a tip licensed to take contaminated spoil.

Chemicals containing ozone depleting substances will not be used across the site.

5.1.9 Shaker Grids

A shaker grid will be installed at the entry / exit points of the site prior to the commencement of earthworks. Excessive amounts of mud will first be removed from vehicles then all vehicles will exit the site over a shaker grid. The shaker grids will be elevated to allow any dirt / mud to drop through. If the void fills up, they will be cleaned out.

In the unlikely event that the road becomes ‘dirty’, a street sweeper will be engaged to promptly clean the road in order to minimise potential impact from sediment pollution to nearby watercourses.

As a secondary control, entry and exit points to the site will be minimised and sediment control barriers will be established at existing stormwater pits at entry and exit points.

An assessment of the site activities will continually be undertaken and remedial actions promptly implemented to prevent any offsite carriage of soil.

5.1.10 Installation of Underground Services

During construction, and wherever possible, pipe to be laid and trenches backfilled all in the same day (i.e. no trench will be left open overnight or for any prolonged period).

Once constructed, sewer system to be sealed until connected.

Stormwater system has been designed to discharge to existing road drains in [location] and to the west and east of the site.

3439/CEMP v0_6 11

5.1.11 Waste Management

During design of the structure, consideration will be given to the selection of building materials in order to minimise waste. During construction of the structure, consideration will be given to the delivery, installation and disposal methods of building materials to encourage recovery and/or recycling. Considerations will include:

i) Pallets for materials to be reused throughout the project ii) Manufacturing of glass, joinery and/or other materials offsite to

eliminate the production of cut-offs iii) Site cleanliness is to be maintained and the site is to be left in a

clean & tidy condition each day iv) Where possible 50% of construction waste is to be recycled or re-

used v) Waste management reports to be prepared and submitted to

Melbourne Airport on a monthly basis

5.1.12 Rubbish Bins

A bin with a secured lid will be placed in each site office, lunch room, change room and toilet block. These bins will be emptied every day or as necessary throughout the day. Supervision of the waste will be performed regularly to minimise the impact of birds congregating to the detriment of the airport operations.

As a minimum, one large site bin will be provided for all trades to place construction rubbish in. This bin will not be allowed to overflow or be overfilled and when full will be changed over promptly. This bin will be covered at all times.

As part of the induction process, all workers will be advised they are required to clean up their own rubbish as they progress.

5.1.13 Cultural Heritage

The site is in an area of cultural heritage sensitivity. Melbourne Airport (Australia Pacific Airports) has an overarching Cultural Heritage Management Plan # 12498, dated 4th September 2013.

Prior to construction activities commencing on site, a heritage induction will be held by the Wurundjeri Tribe Land & Compensation Cultural Heritage Council (WTLCCHC) to familiarise key site workers with local Aboriginal traditions and culture and specific site conditions. Qanstruct will provide similar training during the Site Induction to all other site workers. This is detailed in Form 29 --- Site Induction Topics of Discussion.

When excavating, workers will be mindful of aboriginal artefacts (in the form of rocks, Bottles and/ or bones). Reference will be made to pictures displayed for identification.(Displayed on Notice Board)

3439/CEMP v0_6 12

If found works will cease in the immediate area and the Site Manager will be notified. Melbourne Airport will be notified immediately, a 25m buffer zone will be created with the installation of a physical barrier, works will recommence in another area of the site. The Site Manager will contact the Melbourne Airport --- Environmental Manager who will attend site within 1 working day to assess the significance of the find.

Melbourne Airport Environmental Manager --- Renee Atkinson (03) 9297 1618.

Within a period of not more than 3 days a recommendation will be given by the CHA as to the process to be followed in proceeding with the works that is in culturally appropriate manner.

Further actions to be undertaken after an assessment of the discovery will be in accordance with the CHMP document prepared for the site and or the Wurundjeri Tribal Council.

A copy of the Cultural Heritage Management Plan is to be kept on site at all times.

5.1.14 Landscaping

The following is acknowledged in relation to Melbourne Airport:

vi) A permit will be required to remove any vegetation vii) Melbourne Airport planting guidelines are to be followed for any

landscaping works viii) Origin of soils certificate will be required for any soils brought on

the Melbourne Airport site

3439/CEMP v0_6 13

5.1.15 Flora and Fauna

The site consists of predominately paved areas with small areas of sown lawn. The EPBC Act and Regulations do not apply to the project as no remant vegetation is proposed to be removed and no fauna habitat is proposed to be disturbed.

Notwithstanding the above, no tree is to be removed without approval from the Airport's Environmental Manager.

The construction site will be isolated by perimeter security fencing from any adjacent tree reserves.

5.1.16 Contaminated Land/Asbestos Management

i) Any soil to be disposed of off-site will be in accordance with EPA Guidelines IWRG621 & IWRG702 and Melbourne Airports Soil Management Guidelines.

ii) If any contaminated soil or water are found contact the Melbourne Environment Manager immediately. Renee Atkinson- 0438 601 237

iii) If any asbestos containing materials are found works are to stop immediately, the area is to be isolated until further notice. The Melbourne Airport Program Manager is to be contacted immediately.

5.2 Training of Personnel

All personnel on site will to be inducted. As part of this Site Induction, reference will be made to this document and an explanation of the environmental issues will be provided. Once inducted, personnel are required to sign a form stating they understand all issues discussed and will comply with all requirements.

Further to the above, all Qanstruct staff on site will be briefed on the importance of being diligent in ensuring this CEMP is followed.

3439/CEMP v0_6 14

5.3 Emergency Procedures & Contacts

Site Specific Emergency Response Plan for environmental spills is included as Appendix D. This is complemented by Qanstruct’s Emergency Response & Crisis Management Procedure. Additional site specific emergency (safety and environmental) procedures will be defined in the Project Risk Assessment and task specific Safe Work Method Statements that are in use over the course of the project.

Appendix F – Stormwater Management

Stormwater Management

• Where practicable all stockpiles will be removed from site. The remaining stockpiles will have silt fences placed around the perimeter, the bottom buried below ground level.

• Jute matting will be placed around the surrounds of all pits and rock logs placed on top of the jute matting to provide extra sediment protection. Particular attention will be made to those pits that lay lower than existing ground level.

• Proof roll areas to consolidate loose materials and flatten uneven surfaces. Focus on monitoring and maintaining areas near drains and pits.

• Prior to and after any significant rain event all sediment protection will be inspected for any remedial attention. This is in addition to the environmental check incorporated in our weekly site walks.

• Environmental Management Plan Inspection Reports will be completed weekly and or after a rain event.

• Qanstruct will conduct water testing during rain events, the testing will be conducted at each of the discharge points. The water testing will be conducted during daylight hours. Additional water samples will be taken for verification of water testing results.

• Testing for pH and turbidity will be conducted at the start, during and after any significant rain event (as mentioned in Qanstruct Stormwater Monitoring). This testing will be recorded showing time, date, flow of water and point of testing.

• Water samples will be taken for verification purposes, all initial testing is to be done by Qanstruct. The water samples will be clearly marked/labelled ie time, date and where sample taken from.

• An independent contractor will be engaged in the testing process to verify initial testing by Qanstruct.

• All results forwarded to APAM once information collated and recorded. • Ongoing monitoring of all hardstand areas will be undertaken by Qanstruct. The

hardstand areas will be maintained by the use of mechanical sweepers on site.
