6.2.2 Attachment I.2 – Commissioning Management Strategies
Commissioning Environmental Sub-plan (CESP)
For the purpose of this CESP, commissioning involves the sequential and cumulative commissioning of
several elements of the Desalinated Water Supply System, as set out in Figure 3 (Section 3.2
Commissioning Components). A Commissioning Management Strategy for each of these elements is
included within this Sub-plan. Each of these Commissioning Management Strategies is a procedural and
practical document that clearly sets out the strategy for the commissioning of each component, including
the environmental risks that are unique to the commissioning process and the measures to control these
risks. Contingency risks and associated contingency control measures are also addressed within CESP
Attachment I.2. The relevant contingency risks are similar to those outlined in the D&C PGA Risk Register,
however contingency risks that are unique to Design and Construction are not covered within this CESP
and will continue to be managed through the D&C EMP.
6.2.3 Attachment I.3 – Monitoring, Inspection, Reporting and Auditing Schedule
Environmental monitoring will be conducted in accordance with the Monitoring, Inspection, Reporting and
Audit Schedule (MIRA Schedule). More information on monitoring and reporting is included in Section 10.
6.2.4 Attachment I.4 – Commissioning Monitoring Program, interfacing with the Baseline
Marine Monitoring Program (BMMP)
The Commissioning Monitoring Program includes the following monitoring programs:
• Baseline Marine Monitoring Program (BMMP) - This program comprises two components:
• Coastal Processes Monitoring: impact monitoring commences at intake of seawater.
Intake of seawater commences with the Marine Tunnels and Sea Water Lift Pump Station
• Marine Ecosystems Monitoring: Impact monitoring commences with intake of seawater
(inshore components) and discharge of brine (offshore components). Brine is first
discharged during Overall Systems Commissioning.
• Section 8 of the Section 30A Commissioning Approval Application which includes In-Plant Water
Quality Monitoring and Diffuser Performance Monitoring.
• Section 9 of the Section 30A Commissioning Approval Application which includes the following
Tests and Assessments: Tracer Testing and Diffuser Validation, Direct Toxicity Assessment,
Waste Characterisation, Odour Assessment and a site wide Noise Assessment.
6.2.5 Attachment I.5 – Monthly Environmental Checklist
Inspection requirements are set out in the MIRA Schedule (Attachment I.3). Any actions required, or
measures determined not to be effective, will be identified on the Monthly Environmental Checklist, which
facilitates the auditing process.
