2.3.12 Materials and waste management
Potential Impacts
The NZTA has policies around reducing waste to the greatest extent as efficient use of resources is
both environmentally and financially beneficial. In addition inefficient use of raw materials, leaks
from liquid stores, ground and controlled water contamination from materials stores, contamination
from spills while handling wastes, litter blow, associated presence of pests (flies, rodents and
birds), and propagating non-native invasive species are also significant issues to be managed
Project-Specific Issues and Requirements
A GCS has been developed concerning waste management that sets out an approach to manage
waste production and disposal within the Project area from any construction activities undertaken.
The procedure also includes an approach to minimise introduction of waste to the environment
within and surrounding the Project area.
CEMP Expectations for the appointed Principal Contractor
Once a detailed construction programme and build methodology has been agreed with the NZTA by
the Principal Contractor and the Construction Environmental Manager a GCS on waste management
should be developed and implemented.
2.3.13 Utilities
Potential Impacts
The Project directly affects a number of network utilities, including electricity transmission and
distribution lines, telecommunications, water supply, wastewater and stormwater disposal utilities,
stock water races and also the rail network. Ensuring that disruptions to service supply are kept to a
minimum are critical as any outage or loss of levels of service can have a direct impact upon public
health, safety or user convenience.
Project-Specific Issues and Requirements
NZTA has consulted with network utility operators to identify network utilities that will be directly
affected and how they can be protected and /or how relocation can be appropriately undertaken.
The outcomes of these initial discussions concluded that all adverse effects on network utilities
directly affected by the Project will be able to be appropriately avoided, remedied or mitigated.
Enabling works will be required prior to construction, in particular rectifying the clearance violation
under the existing electricity transmission lines and the relocation of electricity distribution lines.
Construction activities may impact on existing network utilities as a result of dust affecting
electricity and rail infrastructure operations and sediment entering stock water races. These effects
will need to be mitigated through the processes in the CEMP or in SEMPS relating in particular to
dust (SEMP 001) or Erosion and Sediment Control SEMP 002).
