7 MANAGEMENT PLANS

Through the EMS, the following specific management plans and documents will develop to provide
practical measures to prevent or minimize environmental impacts on existing environmental values.
The structure of the management plans for each element has been developed to meet the
requirements of the ToR for (cp401 civil work, part 5: environmental management).
GPES will submit detailed plans and documents as follow: -
- Environmental Monitoring plan (EMoP);
- Environmental Policy;
- Waste Management Plan;
- Groundwater Management Plan;
- Environmental Register;
- Tree preservation and protection plan;
- Environmental Emergency Response & Event Contingency Plan; and
- Environmental Impacts / Aspects and Mitigation Measures
In addition to the above plans regarding environmental protection imposed and incorporation
with, and the means by which the AHPC HSE Manager shall supervise, monitor and audit his
site environmental assurance system to ensure due compliance with these obligations in respect
of:
- Air quality;
- Water quality;
- Noise and Vibration levels
- Hazardous Materials;
- Ground Water
- Protection of Existing Streams/Rivers;
- Tree Protection;
- Traffic Management; and
- Landscape and Aesthetics.

In order to achieve site environmental compatibility, there were some goals for better
compliance might be clarified as the following:

7.1 Air Quality

- Ongoing visual inspections for excessive emissions from combustion engines (e.g., black
smoke);
- Ongoing visual inspections for excessive dust emissions;
- All complaints relating to air quality (including dust emissions) will be recorded and managed
in accordance with the complaints management procedure; and
- Environmental inspections, monitoring and audits will be undertaken in accordance with
procedures.

7.2 Water Quality

- The condition of erosion and sediment control structures will be inspected daily and
immediately after a significant rain event;
- The construction site and its perimeter will be regularly inspected for signs of erosion; and
- Downstream waterways will be inspected for signs for increased turbidity and sedimentation.

7.3 Noise and Vibration

- All noise complaints will be recorded, acknowledged, considered and responded to as soon
as is practicable;
- Environmental inspections, monitoring and audits will be undertaken in accordance with
procedures;
- Pre-construction building and infrastructure surveys will be conducted on properties
potentially susceptible to vibration damage from construction of the Metro line 4 Phase (1)
way;
- Where there are structures in close proximity to the construction activities, vibration levels
will be monitored to prevent sustained vibration levels causing unacceptable loading; and
- Air blast overpressure monitoring will be conducted during the initial blasts to assist with the
optimization of the blast parameters and confirmation of predictions

7.4 Hazardous Materials

- All waste storage areas will be regularly inspected for condition of storage area, containment
and appropriateness of storage (e.g., waste segregation);

REF: H-401-ALL-HLS-06-0013 Rev.B

- The Site Waste Register will be regularly reviewed to identify general volume trends and
waste reduction opportunities;
- Untreated sewage tanks and pipes will be monitored regularly for leaks; and
- Environmental inspections, monitoring and audits will be undertaken in accordance with
procedures The construction sites will be inspected regularly for littering.

7.5 Groundwater

- Inspections of the project area will be conducted regularly for signs of soil contamination
(e.g., staining, odour);
- Storage areas will be regularly inspected to assess condition and appropriateness of storage;
- All bunded areas will be inspected regularly and each time before and after a rain event to
assess capacity of bunds;
- The condition of spill kits will be regularly inspected;
- All vehicles, plant and machinery will be routinely inspected and maintained to ensure they
are not at risk or leaking or spilling contaminants; and
- Environmental inspections, monitoring and audits will be undertaken in accordance with
procedures.

7.6 Protection of Existing Streams/Rivers

- The potential for flooding will be monitored daily following heavy rain events and in
accordance with the BOM flood warning system. Staff will be notified and equipment and
materials removed from flood prone areas if required.
- Environmental inspections, monitoring and audits will be undertaken in accordance with
procedures; and
- Visual inspections of raw water storage streams and waterways in the vicinity of the
construction sites for signs of contamination (e.g., oily sheen, discoloration) will be conducted
regularly.

7.7 Tree Protection

- Incidents of tree cutting will be monitored during construction;

- The condition of all fencing will be inspected regularly to determine the maintenance
requirements

- A monitoring program will be developed and implemented to examine the success of growing
trees species;
- Environmental inspections, monitoring and audits will be undertaken in accordance with
procedures; and
- Work areas will be inspected daily prior to commencement trees species present will be
relocated or moved.

7.9 Landscape and Aesthetics

- Housekeeping practices will be inspected, especially tidiness of access roads and worksites;
- Off-site impacts of area will be inspected regularly, especially light spill and sky glow;
- Environmental inspections, monitoring and audits will be undertaken in accordance with
applied procedures; and
- The condition of erosion and sediment control structures will be inspected daily and
immediately after a significant rain event.
