<strong>Mangatawa</strong> Drain Flood Bypass and TEM Storm<strong>water</strong> AEE<br />

9.<strong>2.</strong>5 Hazardous Substances/Contamination/Probability of Risk<br />

The major risk from hazardous substances is where the contaminant can enter a <strong>water</strong> way during<br />

construction.<br />

The operation of plant and machinery in this environment has the potential to result in adverse effects on the<br />

environment through things such as accidental spills of fuels and chemicals. Be<strong>for</strong>e beginning works on any<br />

site, the Contractor prepare and implement an Environmental Safety Plan (ESP) that shows what measures will<br />

be taken to protect the environment from accidental spills.<br />

Further, the Contractor must have in place all contingency and emergency plans and procedures be<strong>for</strong>e<br />

starting work.<br />

All machinery and plant shall be operated in a manner that ensures spillage of fuel, oil and similar<br />

contaminants are prevented during refuelling, machinery servicing and maintenance. Refuelling and<br />

lubrication activities shall be carried out so that any spillage can be contained and not enter any stream,<br />

tributary or wetland.<br />

The risks associated with contamination from hazardous substances arising from the TEM <strong>earthworks</strong> will be<br />

managed and mitigated to have a less than minor effect on the surrounding environment.<br />
