The Environmental Management Plan has been implemented in accordance with the timeframes specified in the Plan. Audit Grade Auditor commentary Environmental Management Plan 2008-2013 (sighted on website 12/9/2011). Commentary: An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is in existence as required by this section of the licence. Targets and timetables for environmental activities are clearly articulated in the plan and are grouped under goals e.g. Goal 1: Protection of our Drinking Water Catchments; Goal 3: Conserve Water Supplies by Ensuring Efficient Water Use. Achievements relating to the actions and targets in the EMP are summarised in the Environmental Indicators Report 2010- 11 in Section 9.3. While the EMP Framework diagram on page 3 of the report is a good overview of how the EMP sits within the overall corporate context, there could be better articulation of integration with the corporate Enterprise Risk Management Framework. However, this aspect was acknowledged at the interview and it was noted that closer integration with corporate systems, will be addressed in the next review of the EMP. Overall the EMP is a well-articulated requirement of the clause requirement noting that the EMP provides an overarching context for ‘corporate to coalface’ implementation of actions to achieve goals. Evidence: Project plan for revision of the Environmental Management Plan (Project Plan for Revision of EMP.DOCX) Commentary: Even though not due for review until 2013, a review of the EMP has commenced now because of the increased importance of environmental issues such as greenhouse gases. 111 Hunter Water Corporation Operational Audit 2010/11 Appendices
