4.4 CEMP audits
Environmental audits are a means of obtaining information about environmental performance and
compliance with the objectives and targets of the CEMP. They also help to signpost any areas of
concern or where corrective action may be required in order to reduce the potential for any adverse
environmental impacts.
Performance of the CEMP will be reported back to the NZTA Project Manager and Engineer by the
Principal Contractor and the CEM. Performance will be assessed in terms of the delivery of the
objectives. The objectives of the CEMP are the benchmarks of performance and will be subject to
ongoing monitoring.
The Principal Contractor and CEM shall devise an audit schedule in accordance with the finalised
construction programme in order to assess the overall performance on site in a timely and
appropriate manner.
The CEM and the Principal Contractor shall audit the construction site on a regular basis as deemed
appropriate by the CEM, by utilising an audit checklist to be provided by the Principal Contractor.
