2.2 Environmental Objectives and Targets<br />
The overarching environmental objectives of the <strong>Project</strong> are to:<br />
Commissioning Environmental Sub-plan (CESP)<br />
• comply with the environmental standards established for the <strong>Project</strong> through design and<br />
appropriate risk management<br />
• optimise energy efficiency through project design and offset any impact through the purchase of<br />
renewable energy credits for 100% of the electricity used at the <strong>Desalination</strong> Plant and Transfer<br />
Pipeline<br />
• protect the beneficial uses of the coastal and marine environment.<br />
The PRs specified in the <strong>Project</strong> Scope and Performance Requirements (PS&PRs) have been set as more<br />
detailed <strong>Project</strong> objectives and targets for the <strong>Project</strong>, particularly Appendix S3 Environmental<br />
Requirements to Annexure 3 of the PS&PRs.<br />
3 Commissioning Overview<br />
3.1 Commissioning Scope<br />
• Commissioning is the program of activities to test and run-in the plant so that it can become<br />
operational. For the purposes of the CESP this consists of all commissioning activities from the<br />
initial intake of seawater through to RT Finalisation. This involves the sequential and cumulative<br />
commissioning of the following elements of the Desalinated Water Supply System (DWSS), as<br />
shown in Table 3-1. From Preliminary Commercial Acceptance (PCA), the Operations and<br />
Maintenance (O&M) EMP will be the controlling document with appropriate parts of the D&C EMP<br />
documentation (including the CESP) embedded within. A detailed table of the commissioning<br />
process and sequencing is included in Appendix A of the Section 30A Commissioning Approval<br />
Application (TDV-0-EV-PL-0500).<br />
