Construction Environmental Management Plan
Task 1: Project Inception Meeting
The purpose of the meeting will be to confirm the scope of work and obtain data from the Client.
- Key contacts involved in the project, including contact details of other consultants and contractors
- The proposed construction programme
- Discussion of any historical environmental issues onsite
- The proposed work schedule and deliverables for the CEMP
Task 2: Site Visit
Following the inception meeting, a site visit will be made. The site visit will enable us to assess the existing environmental conditions of the site and surrounding area.
The inception meeting, collection of data and the site visit will provide us with a good understanding of the project.
Task 3: Legal, Policy and Administrative Framework
The project will be reviewed to ensure that it aligns with the existing legal, policy and administrative frameworks of the company.
Task 4: Project Specific Environmental Conditions
Identification of the existing environmental conditions will be undertaken for the site and surrounding area. A summary of the baseline environment with regard to the physical, biological and socioeconomic characteristics will be provided.
The summary will involve collation of existing data and observations from the site visit. No baseline surveys or investigations have been included within our proposal.
Task 5: Analysis of Potential Environmental Impacts
The CEMP Report will use the existing environmental conditions as a baseline to assess the construction impacts of the proposed development prior to the commencement of works onsite. The assessment will include a review of direct and indirect, adverse and beneficial, short and long term, temporary and irreversible impacts.
Cumulative impacts as well as the combined impacts of the proposed development and any future developments in the surrounding area will be discussed. This detailed assessment will include a risk assessment, impact significance and identification of appropriate mitigation measures which will be included in the Environmental Control Plans (ECPs) within the CEMP Report.
Task 6: Develop the Construction Environmental Management Plan
The impact assessment and subsequent ECPs will inform the CEMP and will include the following:
- Mitigation measures that address potential significant adverse impact
- Monitoring programme that verifies compliance with the recommended mitigation measures and monitors relevant indicators for unexpected impacts that may arise
- The institutional structure, strengthening and training required to implement the mitigation measures and monitoring programme
Where significant adverse impacts are identified, PetroRisk will recommend feasible and cost effective measures to avoid or minimise these impacts to acceptable levels. Methods to mitigate significant impacts can broadly be divided into the following categories:
- Methods that avoid the impact completely are the optimal solution, although this may require changes to the design or the proposed site location; and
- Methods to reduce and control discharges or effects are the most common mitigation measures.
- The proposed mitigation measures will be clearly identified to allow the Client to easily identify the actions required to mitigate specific impacts.
