1. Introduction

1.1. Background

Patrick Stevedores Operations Pty Ltd (Patrick) operates an international shipping container terminal (Terminal) on the land leased from NSW Ports at Brotherson Dock, Port Botany.

The Terminal loads and unloads containers from ships berthed at the dock and provides a container stacking area for its clients. All containers are ‘in-transit’ and the Terminal facilitates the transfer of goods between the land and sea as well as using trucks and trains to transport containers to customer sites.

The objective of the Port Botany Redevelopment Project (PBRP) is to deliver the infrastructure, change management and associated works to enable transition from a manual terminal operation to a state of the art AutoStrad Terminal achieving best practice safety, productivity, energy efficiency and environmental benefits. The PBRP will be completed in two construction stages as follows:

Stage 1

expansion of the existing container handling facility on reclaimed land, “the Knuckle”, adjacent to the Patrick’s existing container terminal, and

construction of “Ramp D” which extends from the existing Grade Separation Works undertaken by SPC.

Stage 2

upgrading the existing terminal with new truck grids, additional rail and new road access, construction of new administration offices, a control tower and workshop buildings, and

procurement of more eco‐efficient, less noisy plant with reduced lighting requirements for night time operation while being amenable for optimal operation as a result of terminal automation.

The NSW Minister for Planning granted staged development consent in 2005 and 2006 under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, subject to a number of Conditions of Approval. This consent has since been subject to thirteen (13) modifications. In addition, the Commonwealth granted consent in 2006 under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, for aspects of the project relating to migratory birds, such as enhancement of Penrhyn Estuary.

1.2. Purpose and Scope

This Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) is prepared to cover the construction of “Ramp D” only (the Project). The CEMP describes the environmental management processes and controls that Fulton Hogan will apply during construction of the Project.

Fulton Hogan recognises that the project construction activities will result in some adverse impacts on the environment. The purpose of this CEMP is to ensure that such activities are undertaken in an environmentally responsible manner and that any unavoidable adverse impacts on the environment are minimised.

It is designed to satisfy the requirements of Fulton Hogan’s Integrated Management System (IMS) and AS/NZS ISO 14001:2004. This CEMP will be used as a working document to ensure that commitments and obligations included in the Ministers Conditions of Approval (MCoA) and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) obligations are understood and implemented by all construction staff, including sub-contractors.

1.3. Project Overview

The Project involves the construction of Ramp D which will complement the overall Terminal redevelopment by providing a main entry and exit point to the Patrick container handling facility.





Revised: 03/07/13 of 60

Ramp D is a new ramp and bridge structure that will adjoin the recently constructed Penrhyn Road elevated roundabout (part of the Grade Separation Works), and traverse the existing rail line that services the Patrick area of the Port.

The scope of works includes:

2.2. Construction Environmental Management Plan

This CEMP is a key component of the project-specific CEMS. It describes its main elements and provides references to other relevant plans, procedures and work method statements that together form a systematic approach to managing environmental risks associated with the works.

The CEMP has been prepared to meet the required standards of environmental management during the project implementation. It is a ‘live’ document that will be regularly reviewed and updated to ensure its continuing suitability, adequacy and effectiveness.

The objectives of this CEMP are as follows:

To provide a framework for achieving the requirements of the EIS and MCoA

To describe the systems and processes that will ensure compliance with relevant legal and other requirements

To detail environmental monitoring, reporting and auditing requirements

To outline environmental roles and responsibilities, and

To provide a basis for project induction and environmental awareness training.

This CEMP interfaces with other associated Plans, which together describe the overall management system for the Project.

The CEMP will be forwarded to the Client Representative and relevant authorities for review and comment or approval prior to commencement of construction.

2.3. Issue Specific Sub-Plans

The CEMP includes issue specific sub-plans addressing the key environmental aspects and risks and how they will be managed during construction.

The sub-plans will be forwarded to the Client Representative and relevant authorities for review and comment or approval prior to commencement of construction.

The sub-plans required for the project are shown in the diagram below.

The environmental sampling and testing equipment used on the project will be calibrated in accordance with the manufacturers’ specifications and results recorded on the Calibration Equipment Register.

5.3. Environmental Nonconformities

The process for managing any environmental nonconformities will be as follows:

All nonconformities will be raised through QAntrol and CAMs systems

All nonconformities will be recorded in the Environmental Actions Register

The status of NCRs will be recorded and monitored to ensure timely closure, and

The negative trends will be identified and analysed and preventive actions initiated and implemented to prevent recurrence.

Written responses to any nonconformities raised by Patrick or the relevant authorities will be provided within the agreed timeframes or as required by the relevant contract environmental specifications.

5.4. Audits & Reporting

The CEMP compliance audits will be undertaken by suitably qualified and experienced Fulton Hogan personnel not directly associated with the project every six months, with the first audit occurring no longer than three months after commencement of construction.

Patrick will undertake the Annual Independent Environmental Audit as required by section B4.5 of the MCOA. Patrick will also undertake the Annual Environmental Management Report as required by section B4.2 of the MCOA.

6. Document Control and Records Management

The system used for document control and records management is detailed in the Documents and Records Management Plan. This enables the complete management of all documents, including the identification of document or drawing lists, author and recipient management and ensuring that documents remain legible and readily identifiable.

7. Review and Improvement of the CEMP

The CEMP will be reviewed at least annually to ensure compliance with legislative requirements and its suitability and effectiveness for the project and other requirements. The CEMP may be reviewed more regularly due to a change in construction activities, where targets are not achieved or in response to audit findings.

The review may be in a form of:

formal management review

second party audit, and/or

inclusion as a separate item at site meetings.

Any revisions to the CEMP as a result of management review will be issued as per Section 4.3.3 of this Plan and the Documents and Records Management Plan.

Hazardous Waste (Regulation of Exports and Imports) Act 1989

This Act regulates export and import of hazardous waste to ensure that hazardous waste is disposed of safely. The Act requires that a permit be obtained before hazardous waste is exported from Australia or imported into Australia.

It is not anticipated that any hazardous wastes will need to be exported.

Key Policies

SEPP 33 -Hazardous and Offensive Development

Provides new definitions for 'hazardous industry', 'hazardous storage establishment', 'offensive industry' and 'offensive storage establishment'. These enable decisions to approve or refuse a development to be based on the merit of proposal. The policy also requires specified matters to be considered for proposals that are 'potentially hazardous' or 'potentially offensive'. The policy does not change the role of councils as consent authorities, land zoning, or designated development provisions of the EP&A Act.

No relevance. -

SEPP 55 - Remediation of Land

Introduces state-wide planning controls for remediation of contaminated land. Land must not be developed if it is unsuitable for a proposed use because it is contaminated. If the land is unsuitable, remediation must take place before the land is developed. The policy makes remediation permissible across the State, defines when consent is required, requires all remediation to comply with standards, ensures land is investigated if contamination is suspected, and requires councils to be notified of all remediation proposals. To assist councils and developers, the Department, in conjunction with the Environment Protection Authority, has prepared Managing Land Contamination: Planning Guidelines.

If contaminated soil is found, storage and disposal procedures are to comply with the Contaminated Land Management Act 1997.

Measures for testing, handling and disposing of contaminated soil are in the Waste & Spoil Management Sub-Plan.

SEPP (Infrastructure) 2007

Provides a consistent planning regime for infrastructure and the provision of services across NSW, along with providing for consultation with relevant public authorities during the assessment process. The SEPP supports greater flexibility in the location of infrastructure and service facilities along with improved regulatory certainty and efficiency.

No relevance. -

Botany LEP 1995 to provide planning controls for the local government area of Botany Bay City which update and consolidate into a single local environmental plan the various local planning controls that currently apply to the local government area of Botany Bay City;

Left Message

N/A 6/06/2013 (by post) Yes I have reviewed the traffic management plan you have submitted.

Please note that I can only comment on the Traffic Management Plan,

not the Dust and Air Quality Management sub plan and the Soil and

Water management sub plan.

Yes

I have been involved in the Port Botany expansion works since it has

started so I am aware of all the current works and planned works ahead.

Please note that all regulatory signage proposed on the local road

network, even within the ports itself, approval from Botany Council must

be obtained. The Transport Management Centre will be issuing any

Road Occupancy Licenses.

RMS main concern is the operation of Foreshore Rd and Botany Rd

and in particular the traffic signals at Botany/Foreshore Rd. RMS

will monitor the usage of the right turn bay on Foreshore Rd

into Penrhyn Rd. The existing right turn bay is approx. 135m, if traffic

queues out of the right turn bay onto Foreshore Rd and effect the

through movement, the number of truck movements will be revisited.

Penrhyn Road.

None proposed

Any lane occupancy on Penrhyn Road due to construction activities will

need to be

approved by CoBB.

Agreed. ROL will be required to do demolition work

where the new bridge connects to the existing

roundabout. This is now included in the TCP under

clause 6.7.

Construction truck layover in Botany Road or any residential streets

within the LGA

will not be allowed.

Acknowledged

Any construction staff parking in any residential streets within the LGA

will not be

allowed.

Construction Noise Management Sub-Plan Council supports transparency of noise monitoring data. To

demonstrate a which

commitment to transparency Council recommend that these monthly

noise monitoring reports be made accessible to the community via a

project website. Noise monitoring data that has been provided by

SICTL during their construction works via their website have been well

received by the community.

Noise and dust monitoring data will be accessible to

the community via a project website.

Council receives noise nuisance complaints from the Port related

operations

particularly in streets located on elevated topographies. Subsequently

Council supports Patrick's commitment to notifying the community 1

week in advance of noisy activities as specified in the construction noise

sub plan. As Council understands that the designated community

extends to Randwick LGA, Council recommends that these community

notifications could be most effectively achieved via notifications in the

local community newspaper i.e. the southern courier which would

remove the need for extensive letterboxing/mail outs.

Notifications will be done via local community

newspaper as well as by letterbox drops.

Dust & Air Quality Management Sub-Plan Council recommends monitoring measures take into consideration of

cumulative

impacts of Dust from multiple construction activities occurring at the

terminal at the same time especially during periods of high winds.

Cumulative impacts have been addressed in sect

4.3.3 of the CEMP.

Details on proposed dust suppression measures appears to be limited

and the

sub plan provides little details of on site equipment and operational

procedures with regard to these activities. Council suggests that this

plan demonstrate how dust suppression activities will be carried out and

to confirm the required equipment for this will be on site and operational

as and when required throughout the project's duration.

Noted. Details of dust suppresion mitigation

measures and the equipment to be used are detailed

in Sections 5 and 7 of the AQDMP.

As per noise monitoring and reporting Council recommends that dust

monitoring

reports be made accessible to the community via a project website.

As above

Soil and Water Management Sub-Plan 12/06/2013 19/06/2013 N/A 6/06/2013 (by post) Yes This plan states the use of groundwater for dust suppression activities

whereas the dust management sub plan states the use of rainwater tank

or sea water for dust suppression. Due to potential inhalation risk from

possible volatiles in the groundwater Council suggests that the dust

plan recommendations be utilised to minimise this exposure risk.

Agreed. SWMP has been revised accordingly. Yes

Traffic Management Plan Left Message · Council suggest consideration cumulative traffic impact in this TMP

in conjunction with other

construction activities occurring at terminal 3 and in the vicinity of the

Port.

Covered under clause 5.4 of the TMP.

· A project requirement should be that no construction vehicle

stacking, loading

or unloading shall occur on, or in a manner that adversely affects the

flow of traffic along Foreshore Road and Council is pleased to see that

a designated on site truck waiting facility is being provided.

TMP includes a truck parking bay (Figure 4) to

mitigate construction traffic impact on operations.

· Council also recommends that onsite signage and other

communications

mechanisms be utilised to notify visitors/uers of alternative access

arrangements to roads, cycle ways and footpaths during works.

Acknowledged. Traffic control plans will

further detail necessary signage.

P. Engelen, S. Hobday, P. Jerogin CEMP N/A N/A TMP Section 6.3 Existing pedestrian access (towards Patrick terminal and SPOC

building) via elevated roundabout is impacted by Ramp D works and

Ramp D construction traffic. Patrick propose to separate pedestrian 2m

wide path with concrete barriers. Please provide detail of this proposal:

is there enough space for 2m wide path plus barriers? Also will barriers

be structurally connected to protect against impact from trucks? Please

address in TMP.

TMP has been modified to show the vehicle

movements and cross section demonstrating that the

proposed 2m wide pedestrian access is feasible and

does not impact port operations. (clause 6.3)

Structural connection is under consideration however

connection to the existing bridge structure may affect

the integrity of the waterproofing in place and also

provide an avenue for water ingress. There is

potential for the durability to be compromised.

Acid Sulfate Soils Management Sub-Plan TMP Section 5.4.2 Access via the Caltex site and across the SICTL rail area is not

permitted, unless specific approval is obtained from both Caltex and

SICTL (as well as NSW Ports). This is highly unlikely in view of the

SICTL rail construction and rail operations in respectively 2013 and

2014.

Item removed from plan
