1 Introduction 1.1 Context This Waste and Energy Management Sub Plan (WEMP or Plan) forms part of the Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) for the Northern Beaches Hospital – Connectivity and Network Enhancements Project (the Stage 1 Project). This Plan has been prepared to address the requirements of:
• the Stage 1 Project Approval; • the Stage 2 Project Approval; • the environmental management measures listed in the Northern Beaches Hospital –
Road Connectivity and Network Enhancements Stage 1 EIS (SMEC, 2014); • the revised safeguards and management measures listed in the Northern Beaches
Hospital – Road Connectivity and Network Enhancements Stage 1 Submissions Report/Preferred Project Report (SPIR) (SMEC, 2015);
• the environmental management measures listed in the Northern Beaches Hospital – Road Connectivity and Network Enhancements Stage 2 EIS (SMEC, 2015);
• the revised safeguards and management measures listed in the Northern Beaches Hospital – Road Connectivity and Network Enhancements Project Stage 2 Submissions Report (SMEC, 2015); and
• all applicable legislation.
1.2 Background Resource use and waste management, and greenhouse gas and climate change are discussed in:
• Section 17 and Section 18 respectively of the Northern Beaches Hospital – Connectivity and Network Enhancements Stage 1 EIS (SMEC, 2014); and
• Section 18 and Section 19 respectively of the Northern Beaches Hospital – Connectivity and Network Enhancements Stage 2 EIS (SMEC, 2015).
The Stage 1 and Stage 2 EISs identify the various waste streams that would be generated during the construction of the Project, including construction and demolition waste, vegetation waste, packaging materials, liquid wastes and excavated material. Opportunities to avoid, reduce and recycle waste are also identified. The EISs indicatively quantify greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the Stage 1 Project and Stage 2 project respectively. Measures to reduce energy consumption during construction are identified. It should be noted that substantial completion of construction for Stage 1 was achieved on 30 October 2018, and the roads in Stage 1 are open to the public and effectively in operation. �There are some defect repair works and some outstanding incomplete works being undertaken, as well as maintenance activities ongoing in accordance with the contract requirements.
1.3 Environmental management systems overview The Project Environmental Management System is described in Section 4.1 the CEMP. This Plan is part of Ferrovial York Joint Venture’s (FYJV) environmental management framework for the Project.
Northern Beaches Hospital – Connectivity and Network Enhancements Project Waste and Energy Management Sub Plan Page 2
Management measures identified in this Plan will be incorporated into site or activity specific Environmental Work Method Statements (EWMS). EWMSs will be developed and signed off by environment and management representatives prior to the commencement of high risk activities likely to have a negative impact on the environment. Construction personnel will undertake the works in accordance with the mitigation and management measures identified in the EWMS. The combination of the CEMP, sub-plans strategies, procedures and EWMS identify the required environmental management actions for implementation by FYJV’s personnel and contractors. The review and document control processes for this Plan are described in Sections 9 and 10 of the CEMP.
Northern Beaches Hospital – Connectivity and Network Enhancements Project Waste and Energy Management Sub Plan Page 3
2 Purpose and objectives 2.1 Purpose The purpose of this Plan is to describe how FYJV proposes to minimise the amount of waste for disposal, manage waste and reduce energy consumption during construction of the Project.
2.2 Objectives The key objective of this Plan is to ensure that waste and energy are minimised. To achieve this objective for the Project, FYJV will undertake the following:
• ensure measures are identified and implemented to minimise waste, manage waste and conserve energy throughout the construction of the Stage 1 Project and the Stage 2 Project;
• ensure the preferred waste management hierarchy of avoidance, minimisation, reuse, recycling and finally disposal is followed;
• provide staff with an increased level of understanding and awareness of waste and resource use management issues;
• ensure appropriate measures are implemented to address the relevant Stage 1 and Stage 2 CoAs outlined in Table 3-1 and Table 3-2 respectively, and the mitigation measures detailed in the Stage 1 EIS and SPIR, and the Stage 2 EIS and Submissions Report; and
• ensure appropriate measures are implemented to comply with all relevant legislation and other requirements as described in Section 3.1 of this Plan.
2.3 Targets The following targets have been established for the management of waste and energy consumption during the Project:
• avoid the unnecessary production of waste where practical to do so; • dispose of waste materials in accordance with legislative requirements; • minimise / reduce the quantities of resources to be used; and • achieve the waste re-use / recycling targets nominated in Table 2-1.

4 Environmental aspects and impacts 4.1 Construction waste streams Waste generated during construction would primarily be from civil works associated with site preparation, relocation of utilities, and construction of road infrastructure and landscaping. Waste-generating activities would include:
• vegetation clearance, generating green waste such as logs and mulched material; • construction of temporary construction compounds, construction of roads, ancillary
sites and alternative property access would require vegetation clearance, road surface grading, temporary drainage structure installation and the placement of gravel road base where required, generating general asphalt waste, pipe cuts and green waste;
• installation of environmental controls, fencing, silt fences and lockable gates, generating material off-cuts;
• demolition of buildings and structures, kerbs, fencing, pavements, barriers, signage and lighting;
• excavation of existing batters for widening works, retaining walls and drainage; • excavation associated with the underpass proposed along Warringah Road; • earthworks, placement of pavement layers, drainage, concrete pour, utilities
placement and protection, installation of lighting, fencing and road furniture; and • installation of prefabricated culvert units.
Waste streams would include the following: • surplus spoil (excavated soil, sediment, rock) from bulk earthworks which is unable to
be reused within backfilling or restoration; • contaminated soils and other hazardous materials that may be exposed during
demolition (e.g. 7Eleven site decommissioning) and construction earthworks, and if exposed, would require offsite disposal;
• concrete, pavement, steel and other materials from demolition of kerbs, fencing, pavements, signage and lighting;
• surplus material from construction and general site reinstatement, such as fencing, sediment, concrete, steel, formwork, and sand bags;
• packaging materials from items delivered to site, such as pallets, crates, cartons, plastics and wrapping materials;
• vegetative waste from clearance and grubbing; • plant and vehicle maintenance waste, such as oil containers; • general office wastes generated by onsite personnel, such as paper, cardboard,
beverage containers and food wastes; and • sewage waste generated through the use of personnel facilities.
Northern Beaches Hospital – Connectivity and Network Enhancements Project Waste and Energy Management Sub Plan Page 12
4.2 Energy Use Sources of construction-related energy consumption (fuel and power) for the Project include:
• procurement and delivery of materials to site; • vegetation removal; • site establishment, including compound set up; • relocation and protection of services; • earthworks including earth and rock cuttings and retaining walls; • removal, relocation and compaction of excavated material in fill embankments; • construction of pavements and culverts; • demolition of buildings, structures and pavements; • operation of site compounds • lighting of compounds and construction works areas (during evening/night works); • operation of light vehicles; • construction plant including cranes, rollers, excavators, bulldozers, graders and water
trucks; and • removal of waste from the site.
4.3 Impacts 4.3.1 Waste The potential environmental impacts associated with construction waste and energy use include:
• inappropriate disposal of construction waste, such as excavated soil and rock; • inappropriate disposal of vegetation waste from corridor clearing; • inappropriate disposal of domestic type waste from construction personnel; • inappropriate disposal of hazardous waste; • generation or spread of contaminated waste / soils / liquids, e.g. groundwater, used
or expired chemicals, or construction materials (eg asbestos); • water pollution due to sediment runoff from soil excavation and excess spoil storage; • weed infestation from dispersion of seeds and so forth during clearing and access
upgrading activities; • inefficiencies in consumption of non-renewable resources such as electricity, diesel
and other chemicals; • greenhouse gas emissions due to consumption of energy from non-renewable
resources; and • mixing of suitable and unsuitable material/contaminated material leading to materials
that would have ordinarily been reused being rendered as waste. Waste classification will be required during construction to determine appropriate soil management and disposal. The underlying natural soils beneath capping layers (such as topsoils, fill and pavements) across the Stage 1 and Stage 2 project areas have recorded concentrations that would be classified as general solid waste but if uncontaminated are likely to satisfy the criteria for Virgin Excavated Natural Material (VENM) or Excavated Natural Material (ENM). The Stage 2 EIS Phase 2 Assessment identified and assessed 3 locations that have recorded potential contaminant concentrations above investigation levels that will require closer
Northern Beaches Hospital – Connectivity and Network Enhancements Project Waste and Energy Management Sub Plan Page 13
examination and handling requirements during Stage 2 earthworks to avoid any potential impacts due to cross-contamination of waste and any potential for impacts to air quality and surface water/groundwater quality and potential consequential impacts to human health. Accordingly, Stage 2 CoA B6 requires that areas identified with contamination above investigation levels as described in the Phase 2 Contamination Assessment, a Soil Contamination Report must be prepared and implemented. Further information on the management of contaminated soils is detailed in the Soil and Water Quality Management Sub plan (refer to CEMP Appendix B4). 4.3.2 Project GHG emissions Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions are defined as:
• Scope 1 – Direct emissions: GHG emissions generated by sources owned or controlled by the Project, e.g. emissions generated by the use of diesel fuel by project-owned construction plant, equipment or vehicles.
• Scope 2 – Indirect emissions: GHG emissions from the generation of purchased electricity in Project-owned or controlled equipment or operations. These GHG emissions are generated outside of the Project’s boundaries, e.g. the use of purchased electricity from the grid.
• Scope 3 – Indirect upstream emissions: GHG emissions generated in the wider economy due to third party supply chains as a consequence of activity within the boundary of the Project, e.g. GHG emissions associated with the offsite mining, production and transport of materials used in the construction or maintenance of the road.
Emission sources during Stage 1 and Stage 2 construction would include: • operation of construction equipment - which creates direct greenhouse gas emissions
as fuel is combusted onsite; • use of construction materials – which contain varying levels of upstream indirect
embodied emissions; • construction transport - where construction-related transportation creates greenhouse
gas emissions from the consumption and burning of fossil fuels; • light vehicles used by construction personnel and RMS staff occupying the main site
compound; • electricity use – which is generally consumed by site offices, for office equipment,
office lighting, air conditioning, and external lighting and security; and • vegetation clearing – where the breakdown of organic matter as waste material
directly releases stored carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Due to the large quantities of construction materials such as concrete, heavy bound base materials and asphalt required, it is likely that the emissions embodied in these materials would be the greatest contributor to GHG emissions. Estimations on Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions generated from the Stage 1 Project and the Stage 2 Project are provided in Table 4-1. As shown in Table 4-1, the total Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions for construction of the Project is estimated to be 34,915 tCO2-e. This includes an estimated total GHG emissions of 5,974 tCO2-e for Stage 1, and an estimated total of 28,941 tCO2-e for Stage 2.

5 Waste and energy management 5.1 Classification of waste streams Where waste cannot be avoided, reused or recycled it will be classified and appropriately disposed of. The classification of waste is undertaken in accordance with the EPA Waste Classification Guidelines Part 1: Classifying Waste (2014). These guidelines identify six classes of waste: Special, Liquid, Hazardous, Restricted Solid, General Solid (putrescible) and General Solid (non-putrescible), and describe a six step process to classifying waste. This process is described below: Step 1: Is it ‘special waste’? Establish if the waste should be classified as ‘special waste’. ‘Special wastes’ are: clinical and related, asbestos, waste tyres. Further definitions are provided in the guidelines. Note: Asbestos and clinical wastes must be managed in accordance with the requirements of Clauses 42 and 43 of the Protection of the Environment Operations (Waste) Regulation 2005 in addition to the relevant WorkCover requirements under work, health and safety legislation. Step 2: If not special, is it ‘liquid waste’? If it is established that the waste is not special waste it must be decided whether it is ‘liquid waste’. ‘Liquid waste’ means any waste that: has an angle of repose of less than 5° above horizontal becomes free-flowing at or below 60° Celsius or when it is transported is generally not capable of being picked up by a spade or shovel. Liquid wastes are sub-classified into: • sewer and stormwater effluent; • trackable liquid waste according to Protection of the Environment Operations (Waste)
Regulation 2005 Schedule 1 Waste to which waste tracking requirements apply; and • non-trackable liquid waste. Step 3: If not liquid, has the waste already been pre-classified by the NSW EPA? The EPA has pre-classified several commonly generated wastes in the categories of hazardous, general solid waste (putrescibles) and general solid waste (non-putrescibles). If a waste is listed as ‘pre-classified’, no further assessment is required. Step 4: If not pre-classified, is the waste hazardous? If the waste is not ‘special waste’ (other than asbestos waste), ‘liquid waste’ or ‘pre-classified’, establish if it has certain hazardous characteristics and can therefore be classified as ‘hazardous waste’. ‘Hazardous waste’ includes items such as explosives, flammable solids, substances liable to spontaneous combustion, oxidizing agents, toxic substances and corrosive substances. Step 5: If the waste does not have hazardous characteristics, undertake chemical assessment to determine classification. If the waste does not possess hazardous characteristics, it needs to be chemically assessed to determine whether it is hazardous, restricted solid or general solid waste (putrescible and non-putrescible). If the waste is not chemically assessed, it must be treated as hazardous.
Northern Beaches Hospital – Connectivity and Network Enhancements Project Waste and Energy Management Sub Plan Page 16
Waste is assessed by comparing Specific Contaminant Concentrations (SCC) of each chemical contaminant, and where required the leachable concentration using the Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP), against Contaminant Thresholds (CT). Step 6: Is the general solid waste putrescible or non-putrescible? If the waste is chemically assessed as general solid waste, a further assessment is available to determine whether the waste is putrescible or non-putrescible. The assessment determines whether the waste is capable of significant biological transformation. If this assessment is not undertaken, the waste must be managed as general solid waste (putrescible).
5.2 Waste exemptions Clause 51 of the Protection of the Environment Operations (Waste) Regulation 2005 enables the EPA to grant exemptions to the licensing and payment of levies for the land application or use of waste. The EPA has issued general exemptions for a range of commonly recovered, high volume and well characterised waste materials that allow their use as fill or fertiliser at unlicensed, off-site facilities. The general 'Resource Recovery Exemptions' that may be applicable to this Project are identified in Table 5-1 below. These are general gazette exemptions that do not require approval. A specific exemption may be granted where an application is made to the EPA. Table 5-1: Resource recovery exemptions
Exemption General Conditions Effluent Exemption 2008
The effluent can only be applied to land for the purposes of irrigation or as a soil amendment material. The consumer must land apply the effluent within a reasonable period of time.
Excavated Natural Material Exemption 2008
The chemical concentration or other attributes of the excavated natural material listed in the Excavated Natural Material (ENM) Exemption must not be exceeded. The excavated natural material can only be applied to land as engineering fill or used in earthworks. ENM handling, processing and testing requirements are outlined in detail in the exemption
Excavated Public Road Material 2012
The excavated public road material can only be stored within the road corridor at the site where it is to be applied to land. The excavated public road material can only be applied to land within the road corridor for public road related activities including road construction, maintenance and installation of road infrastructure facilities. This exemption does not apply to the land application of excavated public road material on any land outside the road corridor. The excavated public road material cannot be applied on private land. The consumer must land apply the relevant waste within a reasonable period of time.
Raw Mulch Exemption 2008
The raw mulch can only be applied to land for the purposes of filtration or as a soil amendment material or used either singularly or in any combination as input material(s) to a composting process. The consumer must land apply the raw mulch within a reasonable period of time.
Recovered Aggregate Exemption 2008
The chemical concentration or other attribute of the recovered aggregate listed in Recovered Aggregate Exemption must be met. The recovered aggregate can only be applied to land for road making activities, building, landscaping and construction works. This approval does not apply to any of the following applications: • Construction of dams or related water storage infrastructure, • Mine site rehabilitation, • Quarry rehabilitation, • Sand dredge pond rehabilitation,
Northern Beaches Hospital – Connectivity and Network Enhancements Project Waste and Energy Management Sub Plan Page 17
Exemption General Conditions • Back-filling of quarry voids, • Raising or reshaping of land used for agricultural purposes, and • Construction of roads on private land unless:
(a) the relevant waste is applied to land to the minimum extent necessary for the construction of a road, and
(b) a development consent for the development has been granted under the relevant Environmental Planning Instrument (EPI), or
(c) it is to provide access (temporary or permanent) to a development approved by a Council, or
(d) the works undertaken are either exempt or complying development.
5.3 Classification of potential waste streams The construction aspects and waste streams that may be generated during Stage 1 and Stage 2 construction, are outlined with assigned classifications in Table 5-2. Table 5-2: Classification of potential waste streams

5.4 Waste Hierarchy The waste hierarchy presented in Figure 5-4 is a key guide for waste management on the Project and shall be taken into account throughout the construction phase. Mitigation measures in Table 6-1 for Stage 1, Table 6-2 for Stage 2, and Section 7 Compliance Management focus on the use of this waste hierarchy in order to achieve positive waste management results. Figure 5-4 Waste Minimisation Hierarchy
[Figure sourced from NSW EPA]
5.4.1 5.4.1 Avoid and Reduce Waste The waste hierarchy nominates avoidance of waste as the most important priority. During the construction phase, the following measures will be implemented to avoid creation of waste;
• ensuring that the necessary planning is undertaken to enable efficient management of the delivery and storage of materials, so as to avoid spoilage of materials;
• wherever possible, establishing agreements with suppliers for ‘take back’ arrangements for packaging/pallets/drums;
• ensuring correct types and quantities of materials are ordered, essentially avoiding excess material waste;
• coordinating site activities to minimise waste through utilisation of unused materials; • employing trained and qualified plant and machinery operators to avoid damage to
materials and reduce wastage of consumables during plant and machinery maintenance; and
• ensure that stored supplies are properly protected from the weather.
Northern Beaches Hospital – Connectivity and Network Enhancements Project Waste and Energy Management Sub Plan Page 20
5.4.2 Reuse and recycling Recycling of waste is an aspect of ISCA reporting. The project sustainability requirements have set a target of at least a 50 point ‘Excellent’ Design rating and a 50 point ‘Excellent’ As Built rating under the ISCA IS Rating Tool. In response to meeting these IS Rating targets, the FYJV will aim to achieve or better the following targets for landfill diversion:
• 80 to <100% by volume of spoil • 50 to 90% by volume of inert and non-hazardous waste • 40 to 60% by volume of office waste.
Waste separation and segregation will be promoted on-site to facilitate reuse and recycling as a priority of the waste management program as follows:
• waste segregation onsite – waste materials, including spoil and demolition waste, will be separated onsite into dedicated bins / areas for either reuse onsite or collection by a waste contractor and transported to offsite facilities; and
• waste separation offsite – wastes to be deposited into one bin where space is not available for placement of multiple bins, and the waste is to be sorted offsite by a waste contractor.
5.4.3 Waste handling and storage Where waste is required to be handled and stored onsite prior to onsite reuse or offsite recycling / disposal, the following measures apply:
• spoil, topsoil and mulch are to be stockpiled onsite in allocated areas, where appropriate, and mitigation measures for dust control and surface water management will be implemented as per the Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) and the Soil and Water Quality Management Plan (SWQMP);
• liquid wastes are to be stored in appropriate containers in bunded areas until transported offsite. Bunded areas will have the capacity to hold 110% of the liquid waste volume for bulk storage or 120% of the volume of the largest container for smaller packaged storage;
• hazardous waste will be managed by appropriately qualified and licensed contractors, in accordance with the requirements of the Environmentally Hazardous Chemicals Act 1985 and the EPA waste disposal guidelines; and
• all other recyclable or non-recyclable wastes are to be stored in appropriate covered receptacles (e.g. bins or skips) in appropriate locations onsite and contractors commissioned to regularly remove / empty the bins to approved disposal or recycling facilities.
5.4.4 Waste disposal Waste (and spoil) disposal is to be in accordance with the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 and the Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Act 2001. Wastes that are unable to be reused or recycled will be disposed of offsite to an EPA approved waste management facility following classification (refer to section 5.1). The waste contact list and locations of waste management / disposal facilities are included in Appendix A and Appendix B respectively. Details of waste types, volumes and destinations are to be recorded in the Waste Management Register.
Northern Beaches Hospital – Connectivity and Network Enhancements Project Waste and Energy Management Sub Plan Page 21
5.4.5 Energy conservation FYJV is dedicated to implementing energy conservation best practice and the reduction of greenhouse gases by adopting energy efficient work practices including:
• developing and implementing procedures to minimise energy use; and • conducting awareness among site personnel regarding energy conservation
methods. General energy consumption may be reduced by:
• Select construction materials with consideration to their lifespan and potential for reuse.
• Source recycled materials or select materials with a lower embodied energy content, and reuse materials where ever practical on site;
• Selecting plant and equipment with higher energy efficiency ratings; and • Procuring renewable energy sources during operation of the compound site.
5.4.6 Diesel Usage Diesel usage represents the primary consumption of energy for the Project. Diesel usage may be minimised by employing the following strategies:
• ensure all plant is maintained to the required performance standards; • trucks should avoid using the local road network during peak traffic periods; • minimise truck queuing and unnecessary trips through logistical planning of materials
delivery and work practices; • stationary trucks should switch off engines if idling time on-site is likely to exceed 2
minutes; • consider use of plant capable of running on bio-diesel; • minimise double handling of materials; • turn off air-conditioning, lights when no longer required; • consider organised car pooling or bus transportation of employees to site locations; and • source materials and equipment locally.
5.4.7 Waste Storage The number and capacity of skip bins required onsite will be determined by FYJV based on the predicted quantities of waste produced during construction activities. Sufficient space should be provided for waste storage areas. All waste generated on site, when it is not able to be directly deposited into the skip bins, will be placed in designated, appropriately bunded and sign-posted stockpile areas, within the site for transfer to the skip bins by bobcat or other means. On-site sorting and collections systems should be put in place to ensure efficient recycling of waste, including appropriate signage for recycling areas/skip bins. At minimum, the following dedicated skips/bins/stockpiles are likely to be required for:
• green waste; • topsoil material suitable for reuse; • excavated material suitable for reuse; • steel, scrap metal; • concrete; • timber / wood waste;
Northern Beaches Hospital – Connectivity and Network Enhancements Project Waste and Energy Management Sub Plan Page 22
• general waste; • contaminated waste; • hazardous waste; and • liquid waste.
Co-mingled recycling bins will be provided for plastic beverage bottles, soft drink cans and other containers to ensure these items do not end up at landfill. Waste storage areas will be accessible and allow sufficient space for storage and servicing requirements. The storage areas will also be flexible in order to cater for change of use throughout the Project. All waste placed in skips or bins for disposal or recycling shall be adequately contained and secured to ensure that the waste does not fall, blow, wash or otherwise escape from the site (i.e. appropriate siting of waste stockpile locations should take into account slope and drainage factors to avoid contamination of stormwater drains during rain events). Waste containers are to be kept clean and in a good state of repair. The frequency of the waste removal will, in most cases, be dictated by the volume of material being deposited into the skip/bins. All skips/bins leaving the Project site will be covered with a suitable tarpaulin to ensure that the spillage of wastes from the skips whilst in transit is prohibited. Spoil, topsoil and mulch are to be stockpiled onsite in allocated areas, where appropriate, and mitigation measures for dust control and surface water management will be implemented as per the AQMP and SWQMP.
5.5 Spills Management Containment measures such as spill kits will be provided at appropriate locations and in close proximity to staff car park areas, dangerous goods storage areas and main activity areas. Safety Data Sheets (SDS) will also be located within dangerous goods stores for advice on spillage clean up and disposal. For more information, refer to Appendix A Environmental Incident and Spill Response Protocol of the Soil and Water Quality Management Plan.

7 Compliance management 7.1 Roles and responsibilities FYJV’s Project Team organisational structure and overall roles and responsibilities are outlined in Section 4.2 of the CEMP. Specific responsibilities for the implementation of environmental management measures are detailed in Chapter 6 of this Plan.
7.2 Training All employees, contractors and utility staff working on site will undergo a site induction that includes waste and energy management issues. The induction training will address elements including:
• existence and requirements of this Plan; • relevant legislation; • incident response, management and reporting; • waste reporting requirements; • requirements of the waste hierarchy; • waste / recycle storage requirements; • energy efficient best practices; • other specific responsibilities for waste and reuse management; and • other specific responsibilities for energy management.
Targeted training in the form of toolbox talks or specific training will also be provided to personnel with roles in demolition, clearing and earthworks. Examples of training topics include:
• EWMS04 – clearing and grubbing; • Asbestos Management Plan; and • Spoil management.
Further details regarding staff induction and training are outlined in Chapter 5 of the CEMP.
7.3 Monitoring and inspection Compliance with the requirements of this Plan, its implementation and effectiveness will be monitored through:
• Regular inspections of the worksite and activities; • Fortnightly ER, RMS and FYJV environmental inspections; • Internal and external audits; • Inspection of the Waste Management Register (as per Appendix C); and • Compliance tracking reports.
Additional requirements and responsibilities in relation to compliance, are further outlined in Stage 1 CoA C27 and Stage 2 CoA D27, and are documented in Chapter 8 of the CEMP.
7.4 Licences and permits The Stage 1 project works are subject to an EPL (Licence No. 20673, 19 October 2015) as a scheduled activity “Extractive Activities, Road Construction”. The EPL prescribes management requirements for waste generated from the Project that must be complied with. These
Northern Beaches Hospital – Connectivity and Network Enhancements Project Waste and Energy Management Sub Plan Page 31
requirements will be managed by the planned management measures specified in Table 6-1 (Stage 1) and in Table 6-2 (Stage 2). The EPL also prescribes requirements for complaints handling, reporting and record keeping. These requirements will be implemented in accordance with the incident and complaints reporting outlined in section 8.6. The EPL will be subject to variation to incorporate Stage 2 project works. This will be issued prior to commencement of Stage 2 construction. Any other relevant licences or permits will be obtained in the lead up to and during construction as required.
7.4.1 Waste transport licence requirements An Environment Protection Licence is required for transporting more than 200 kilograms of the following wastes in any load:
• “Category 1 Trackable Wastes” within NSW • “Category 2 Trackable Wastes” from NSW to another state or from another state to
NSW or if Category 2 wastes are transported through NSW. A list of Category 1 and 2 wastes can be found on the EPA’s website at: http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/resources/owt/trackwaste07522.pdf. Table 3-4 of the RMS Technical Guide: Management of road construction and maintenance wastes also includes information on whether a licence is required for the transport of typical wastes generated from Roads and Maritime Services construction and maintenance projects. An Environmental Protection Licence is not required for the transport of waste:
• in an emergency to protect human health, the environment or property, • for the purposes of analysis related to waste categorisation, • via a pipeline, • any residue of a substance in a container if the container is to be refilled with the same
type of substance.
7.5 Auditing Audits (both internal and external) will be undertaken to assess the effectiveness of environmental mitigation and management measures, compliance with this Plan, CoA and other relevant approvals, licenses and guidelines. Audit requirements are detailed in Section 8.4 of the CEMP.
7.6 Reporting A Waste Management Register of all waste collected for disposal and/or recycling will be maintained on a monthly basis until final completion. Wastes will be tracked using information provided on dockets/invoices from contractors engaged to remove waste. Materials that are approved to be reused on site will also be included on the Waste Management Register. In the event of any incident arising from the generation and management of waste, all incidents including complaints will be managed in accordance with the incident reporting and investigation procedures specified in Chapter 7 of the CEMP. A written report will detail the
Northern Beaches Hospital – Connectivity and Network Enhancements Project Waste and Energy Management Sub Plan Page 32
incident, the actions taken to remedy the problem and the timing of such actions. A final report with proposed measures to prevent the occurrence of a similar incident will be submitted to the RMS. The CEMP procedures also require compliance with complaints reporting to the EPA in accordance with the pollution complaints requirements of the EPL. General reporting requirements and responsibilities are documented in the Section 8.5 of the CEMP.
Northern Beaches Hospital – Connectivity and Network Enhancements Project Waste and Energy Management Sub Plan Page 33
8 Review and improvement 8.1 Continuous improvement Continuous improvement of this Plan will be achieved by the ongoing evaluation of environmental management performance against environmental policies, objectives and targets for the purpose of identifying opportunities for improvement. The continuous improvement process will be designed to:
• identify areas of opportunity for improvement of environmental management and performance;
• determine the cause or causes of non-conformances and deficiencies; • develop and implement a plan of corrective and preventative action to address any
non-conformances and deficiencies; • verify the effectiveness of the corrective and preventative actions; • document any changes in procedures resulting from process improvement; and • make comparisons with objectives and targets.
8.2 WEMP update and amendment The processes described in Chapter 8 and Chapter 9 of the CEMP may result in the need to update or revise this Plan. This will occur as needed. Any revisions to this Plan will be in accordance with the process outlined in Section 1.6 of the CEMP. A copy of the updated plan and changes will be distributed to all relevant stakeholders in accordance with the approved document control procedure – refer to Section 10.2 of the CEMP.
