10.5 Audits
10.5.1 AquaSure
TDJV will facilitate audits by the AquaSure EMR.
Commissioning Environmental Sub-plan (CESP)
The Commissioning Director, Commissioning Manager, Environmental Manager or Area Environmental
Managers will respond to audit reports of the CESP received from the AquaSure EMR within the time
specified by the EMR. TDJV will formulate a plan of action to follow-up the findings and recommendations
of the audit, including:
• Describing the planned corrective action/s for each finding
• Nominating a time frame to complete the corrective actions
• Nominating the responsible persons to carry out the corrective actions.:
• Implement remedial/corrective actions within the agreed timeframes
• Notify the EMR of close-out
• Provide evidence of completion where agreed.
The AquaSure EMR will review the close out of the audit findings.
10.5.2 TDJV
Internal environmental audits will be conducted in accordance with the MIRA Schedule (Attachment I.3)
and to the standards described in the ‘Environmental Audits’ procedure attached to the EMS Manual.
If the AquaSure EMR conducts an audit on an EMS component, that is also scheduled to be audited by
TDJV, the EMR’s audit may suffice as the TDJV audit, with the consent of the EMR. As a guide, the
AquaSure EMR and Environmental Manager will (separately or together) undertake the following types of
audits on a regular basis (minimum quarterly):
• D&C EMP - the scope of the audit will assess the level of implementation of the D&C EMP and the
CESP through document review and on-site assessment
• High Risk Activities- the scope of these audits will include an audit focussing on high risk
activities to ensure that environmental controls and procedures outlined in the D&C and AEMPs
are being implemented
Non-conformances will be recorded and managed as set out in Section 9.
10.5.3 External
The IR&EA or the State may audit any part of the Project or EMS Manual or other environmental
documentation with reasonable notice for the purposes of confirming compliance with Project
environmental PRs.
TDJV will facilitate audits by other parties, including the IR&EA and the State as set out in Section 9.5.3 of
the D&C EMP.
