2. Part B - Social and Environmental Management
This section outlines significant environmental issues identified in the AEE. It is intended to be
used to:
• Outline the existing environment;
• Identify matters to be included in the Specialised Environmental Management Plans (SEMPs)
or in General Control Statements (GCS’s); and
• Outline any recommendations in technical reports relating to environmental management
during the construction phase.
2.1 Environmental Management
2.1.1 Identification
The environmental impacts that are discussed within this CEMP have been derived from three
information streams:
1. AEE - The potential environmental impacts for the project have been identified within the
Assessment of Environmental Effects (AEE). This document has analysed potential effects and
identified the levels of risk and significance for each potential impact as well as identifying
measures to avoid, remedy or mitigate adverse effects.
2. NZTA - The NZTA Environmental Plan 2008 set of objectives, (referred to in section 1.4.1
above), are based on known impacts for its road projects. The list of impacts has been based
upon NZTA’s Social and Environmental Management form 6 but adapted to focus on construction
activities associated with the Project. This plan only identifies potential impacts, and does not
risk assess for the significance as this has to be done project by project.
3. CEMP as a living process - This CEMP requires the Principal Contractor to review risks and
potential impacts that have been identified, which results in an always current understanding of
potential impacts upon the environment.
Each of the issues identified as requiring significant controls have been discussed in a SEMP to
address risks and set out appropriate management. General Control Statements (GCS) that cover
more general matters that do not require specific management plans are also recommended.
2.1.2 SEMPs
The need for SEMPs has been determined by an understanding within the AEE of the:
• Potential construction risks and effects;
• Environmental receptors; and
• Construction activities.
