3 CCURV PSDH Page 3 of PART 1 GENERAL ISSUES 1.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE The scope of the Project Environment Plan (PEP) is to set out the environmental requirements for the Croydon Council Urban Regeneration Vehicle; Public Sector Delivery Hub (CCURV PSDH) construction project as designed and built in line with Sir Robert McAlpine Ltd Environmental Management System and the requirements of the client CCURV PSDH (now referred to as the client and incorporating Croydon Council and John Laing Partnership). This plan covers the environmental compliance requirements as per the company s Environmental Management System and describes the operational plan to meet Sir Robert McAlpine s obligations under current legislation. In addition this plan provides a systematic framework for integrating the sustainability aspects of: Design; Procurement; Site management and logistics; Monitoring and measurement of specific sustainability indicators; The monitoring and review processes that are to be adopted. 1.2 GENERAL STATEMENT OF COMPANY POLICY Sir Robert McAlpine Ltd recognises the need to protect the environment and minimise the environmental impact of its activities. We believe in being a good neighbour on this and other construction projects and that by complying with an environmental management system and taking a positive proactive approach to environmental issues we can enhance the reputation of this project, the firm and the construction industry in general. The company environmental policy applies to this project and is included in Appendix PROJECT PROFILE AND SCOPE OF WORK This PEP covers the scope of works the demolition of the existing Croydon Council facilities at Fell Road in order for the site to be cleared for the delivery of the new PSDH scheme. The proposed scheme is bounded by Fell Road to the South and east, and Mint Walk to the North. The site conditions incorporate a significant level change around the perimeter of the site, for which the project will utilise to provide additional floor height in the Mint Walk wing and to ensure minimal carriageway works with the new ramp position. The proposal will require some re-modelling of aspects of Davis House. The new building will provide new office accommodation for Croydon Council with public access for council services at ground floor. The form of the new building is separated into two separate blocks which step from between five to thirteen storey height linked by internal bridges between the two and a separate link bridge back to the existing grade 2 listed Town Hall. The form of construction comprises of secant piled foundations, reinforced concrete super structure and glazed curtain walling to the external facade

6 CCURV PSDH Page 6 of ENVIRONMENTAL OBJECTIVES AND TARGETS The project team will report against the following targets: BREEAM credit requirements applicable to the construction Construction objectives and targets. Sir Robert McAlpine Ltd Company Environmental Objectives and Targets The Environmental and Sustainability Objectives and Targets for the project are summarised in Appendix 3. The status of Objectives and Targets will be reviewed on a regular basis (and in any event not less than three monthly intervals). 1.6 COMMUNICATION AND LIAISON Sir Robert McAlpine recognises that sustainability is not just about compliance with environmental controls, but also requires positive action to foster co-operation, innovation and continuous improvement. Our approach therefore is one of open communication and recognition of individual effort as we recognise that the training programme, management systems, information and posters and the way in which we deal with people must present a consistent message Internal and Onsite Communications: Sustainability issues and environmental management are to be communicated to staff and subcontractors as soon as starting on the PSDH Project as possible. During the tender stage sub-contractors will be made aware of the specific environmental requirements for working on site and for identifying and dealing with specific environmental issues associated with their work packages. The environmental requirements for the project are outlined in the Volume 2 tender documentation sent out to all subcontractors. General site environmental requirements will be re-iterated during start up meetings and during the initial inductions. Sub-contractor s performance and commitment to sustainability and environmental management will be monitored through the information gathered for the environmental reports. Specific reporting and environmental control requirements will be identified in the environmental method statements when necessary. Toolbox talks will be provided to all site operatives to cover the requirements of the Project Environmental Plan and Procedures. These will be tailored to specific site activities. All management staff will be briefed on the requirements of the Project Environmental Plan and associated Environmental procedures The Project Environmental Plan will be made available on the Project Network Server and 4-Projects extranet. Formal training will be carried out for selected members of the design and construction teams as part of ongoing corporate training Communication with the Client s Sustainability and Environmental Team To be confirmed on direct from John Laing Partnership and the requirements of Croydon Council Communication with the Public A construction hotline number (an 0800 number will be allocated prior to commencement on site) is displayed at local authority offices and around the site s boundaries for information and complaint purposes. All complaints and enquiries are logged. Should a complaint be received that relates to a deviation away from an agreed method of works and has caused substantiated nuisance to the neighbourhood and surrounding businesses and residents then an NCR (non-conformance report) will be raised in line with Sir Robert McAlpine Ltd company procedure AP 25) Liaison with External Parties Liaison will be made on a regular basis with the following external parties: Environment Agency (EA) Environmental Health Officer (EHO) for Croydon Council Thames Water (TW) Representatives from neighbouring offices and library

7 CCURV PSDH Page 7 of TRAINING All personnel on site will receive a site induction which will include basic environmental information. Additionally all staff will receive environmental training appropriate to their role. A training matrix identifying staff and training topics is identified in Appendix 4 and will act as a guide to the delivery of environmental training on the project. This will be updated for the different stages over the project duration and linked to the aspects and impacts risk matrix for the different construction stages. Subcontractors will receive environmental training as appropriate to their level of impact and activity risk on the environment. A toolbox talk will be issued to subcontractors on a regular basis.

Specific Considerations and Constraints The site is currently used as council offices with associated car parking. From 1896 to early 1960s the land use was residential with recreational buildings off site. From 1960s the site was used for council offices. There has been significant development of the surrounding areas since Possible contamination in made ground and natural strata, ( 2m bgl) The site is underlain by Thanet Sands overlying white chalk subgroup. Variable thickness of made ground and possibly River Terrace Deposits are also expected to overlie the natural strata. The likelihood of widespread soil contamination is low. The basement construction of the current building would have removed any contaminated soils within the footprint. Residual contaminants if encountered will be restricted to previously unexcavated ground. TBC unlikely to have a high archaeological significance due to previous land use and basement construction No Statutory protected sites within 2km of the site Site is of low ecological value with the exception of scattered trees to the south of the site which have a possibility of providing habitat for some birds and invertebrates. Site is in a Zone 1 Groundwater Protection Zone. No surface water courses, ground water expected to be found below 11m bgl Nearest groundwater abstraction is 167m NW at Surrey Street Pumping Station The overall risk associated with the water environment is considered to be moderate to low. Surrounding area is predominantly commercial offices including the neighbouring Council office buildings and library and various shops and restaurants to the north of the site. TBC a Section 61 may be applied for to cover the demolition and piling works upon discussion with Croydon Council.

Further details are in section below. 2.4 CONSENTS AND NOTIFICATIONS Applicable consent and or notification requirements, as well as the information required for obtaining and complying with them will be detailed here when information is available. This is reviewed on a regular basis in conjunction with the review of EMP02 (see section below). 2.5 SIR ROBERT M C ALPINE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Project Control Plan LSE-PCP-145 outlines the Quality Management System procedures and Health & Safety procedures to be implemented. Sir Robert McAlpine Ltd has an ISO14001 certified Environmental Management System. The following Company Environmental Management System Procedures shall be implemented: AP 22 Method Statement AP 22 defines the methodology for the method of preparation, format, presentation, review, revision and administration of method statements in order to control work activities adequately. Environmental risk assessments (as outlined in EMP03, see below) are to be included within method statements to ensure that any potential risks to the environment have been identified and can be eliminated/mitigated by adequate control measures AP 23 Document and Data Control AP 23 defines the system to be used to control all incoming and outgoing documents, along with their archive storage, content, review and disposal. Details are included in the Document Control Method Review completed for each project AP 25 Non-Conformance Control AP25 identifies the procedure for documenting non conformances and non conforming products and services AP 45 Environmental Assessment AP45 defines the system to be used and the items to be considered when carrying out an environmental assessment of construction works for a project. It includes a comprehensive checklist to help ensure that all relevant aspects are adequately addressed.

10 CCURV PSDH Page 10 of AP 46 Performance Measurement and Continuous Improvement AP 46 defines the system to be used to generate sub-contractor and consultant Key Performance Indicators (KPI s) and how they will be used in the SRM Continuous Improvement Program EMP 02 Environmental Legislation EMP02 defines the controls to be adopted for the identification of current environmental legislation relevant to the construction operations. This includes a comprehensive checklist to enable Project Management to assess the impact of pertinent legislation on the works and determine specific action plans. A Register of Environmental Legislation shall be completed by the Environmental Advisor covering legislation associated with (i) Noise & Vibration, (ii) Dust & Air Pollution, (iii) Contaminated Land, (iv) Spoil & Waste, (v) Built Heritage, (vi) Water and (vii) Ecology. It will identify how the legislation affects the Company / Project and what controls and action plans are required to ensure compliance. The Register will be subject to reviews to reflect any changes to legislation as advised by the Company Environmental Manager. It will be kept on the network project drive and issued to the project management team. Surveillances of best practice on site and the specific applicable legislation will take place on a quarterly basis or following legislation updates from the Company Environmental Manager EMP 03 Environmental Risk Assessments EMP03 defines the methods to be used to evaluate the environmental Aspects and Impacts that the project places upon its surroundings during the works. It includes the process of identifying possible preventative measures (and associated residual risk assessments). Environmental Risk Assessments shall be completed by the Environmental Advisor and Package Manager for each work package. Environmental Risk Assessments will be kept on the network project drive and issued to the project management team. In addition to individual work package based environmental risk assessments, a generic register has been developed for the CCURV works to provide a summary of significant environmental aspects and impacts. This will be kept on the network server and made available to subcontractors upon start up to provide an overview of environmental issues and risks EMP 04 Project Environmental Plans EMP04 defines the requirements for the preparation and control of Project Environmental Plans (PEP) (ie:- this document), including subsequent revisions. The Project Environmental Plan is a live document and will be reviewed and amended as necessary during the course of the project, e.g. to take into account of changes to site activities. The layout of this PEP differs from the EMP 04 suggestion although it contains all the required information as per EMP04. The table below indicates which sections of this plan comply with the layout of EMP04: EMP04 Typical Index Content Heading Reference within this Environmental Plan 1.0 Purpose 1.1 Purpose and Scope 2.0 Employer s Environmental Requirements 2.2 Environmental Requirements 3.0 Key Project Environmental Data 2.1 Environmental Conditions of Site 4.0 Contact Details and Responsibilities 1.6 Communication and Liaison 5.0 Environmental Training and Awareness 1.7 Training 6.0 Company Environmental Policy, Objectives and Targets 1.2 General Statement of Company Policy 1.5 Environmental Objectives and Targets 7.0 Environmental Management System 2.3 Sir Robert McAlpine Environmental Management Systems 8.0 Environmental Review and Risk Assessment EMP 03 Environmental Risk Assessment 9.0 Site Specific Environmental Control Procedure 3 Part 3 Site Specific Controls 10.0 Monitoring and Reporting Environmental 4 Part 4 Monitoring and Reporting Matters 11.0 Environmental Preparedness and Emergency 5 Part 5 Emergency Response Planning 12.0 Other Measures 3 Part 3 Site Specific Controls

11 CCURV PSDH Page 11 of 21 The Environmental Management System Procedures are supported by the following Environmental Procedures Health Hazards :- EP 01 Contaminated Ground; EP 02 COSHH; EP 03 Control of Noise; EP 04 Dust Control; EP 05 Wet Concrete; EP 06 Asbestos: EP 07 Waste EMP 06 Emergency Preparedness EMP 06 outlines the procedure and best practice for dealing with environmental emergencies. In particular the document provides guidance on: Planning for an Emergency Storage of Liquids Depot Drainage Spills and Spill Kits Training Waste Dust and Noise The site specific controls for dealing with environmental emergencies and pollution prevention are covered in section 5 (Emergency Response) in this document. All environmental procedures, including this plan, can be found on the Project Network Server (P: drive) under Environment and the folder entitled EMS or 4-Projects extranet local network drive.

12 CCURV PSDH Page 12 of 21 3 Part 3 SITE SPECIFIC CONTROLS The controls described below apply to all personnel associated with the PSDH Project including Sir Robert McAlpine Ltd staff, sub-contractors, suppliers and third parties; and all activities and operations associated with the project. Controls will be defined in more detail as the programme and site layout changes and progresses. 3.1 AIR QUALITY AND DUST Particulates from dust caused during construction along with exhaust emissions from construction plant are the main impacts on air quality. Best Practicable Means (BPM) will be used to ensure that dust does not cause nuisance. Where dust is considered to be a risk during a specific site activity, mitigation measures will be included in the task-specific method statement for the work. Construction plant will be well maintained and operated to minimise emissions to air. The Environmental Advisor will brief operatives on good practice and will carry out regular inspections to ensure that BPM is employed across the project. 3.2 WATER The site is in a Zone 1 Groundwater Protection Zone. Before demolition commences the design team will liaise with the Environment Agency and Thames Water to clarify any implications with the Zone 1 status and the foundation design Foul and Surface Water During construction, best practice measures will be undertaken to ensure that surface and groundwater is managed to avoid risk of pollution. Environment Agency pollution prevention guidelines (PPG s) and guidance issued by CIRIA will be adhered to and communicated to staff as appropriate. These include the following: Fuel, oil and chemicals will be stored in locations away from drains and watercourses and in compliance with the Oil Storage Regulations. Plant and vehicles will be maintained in good working order to prevent oil leaks and drip trays will be used under static plant. Emergency spill kits will be provided in strategic locations around each work area and project personnel will be trained in their use. A site drainage plan identifying the construction/compound drainage runs (and in accordance with PPG 21) will be developed and then posted around the site notice boards and will be available as Appendix 9 for information. This will be based on the Faber Maunsel Proposed Drainage Layout drawing, /CL(5)/ Groundwater It is anticipated that the excavations will encounter perched / shallow groundwater in the superficial deposits and the groundwater table within the White Chalk major aquifer. It is also expected that there will be quantities of groundwater inflow from the base of the excavation. The Environment Agency and Thames Water will be consulted and the necessary consents obtained for any dewatering and abstraction activities. Monitoring and records will be kept of water discharged from excavations Water Monitoring The Environment Team will undertake regular inspections of water management and discharges. Unless otherwise stipulated as a consent condition, the frequency of inspections will be decided by the Environment Team in consultation with the Construction Manager taking account of the specific circumstances of the discharge, the construction activities and the ground and/or weather conditions prevailing at the time. 3.3 NUISANCE (NOISE / VIBRATION)

13 CCURV PSDH Page 13 of 21 Noise and Vibration caused by site activities will be controlled as far as is reasonably practicable so that surrounding residential and commercial receptors are protected from excessive levels arising from the construction process Hours of Work Permitted hours of work throughout the duration of the project are in accordance with the Croydon City Council Code of Construction Practice and Planning Conditions and are restricted to: Monday to Friday Saturday There will be no working on Sunday s with the exception of abnormal deliveries and erecting Tower Cranes. In the event of unusual activities or events that can be anticipated, these will be notified to the relevant EHO and to the relevant sensitive receptors wherever possible. The relevant activities will be determined by agreement with the relevant local authority and will include: Noisy activities, including piling operations Necessary night time, weekend or evening working; Road or footpath closures / diversions and movements of wide loads; Tower crane services and erections; Activities that are deemed to require monitoring by the local authority Noise and Vibration Monitoring Baseline monitoring will be undertaken during enabling works. Historical baseline monitoring results appropriate to the construction zone will be requested from the client. Monitoring will be carried out during mobilisation of the first work packages to compare with the enabling works results. Noise and Vibration monitoring will be carried out regularly, as well as in response to requests/complaints/section 61 requirements and / or any new activities that have the potential to generate significant noise. (NB: All complaints and requests are recorded and dealt with as quickly as possible) Monitoring will be carried out on the construction site boundary. Positions to be monitored will be assessed with regards to the works currently being carried out on site and their proximity to sensitive receptors. Monitoring is carried out by a competent person trained in the use of the equipment and with an understanding of the relevant legislation, action levels and potential environmental issues related to the creation of noise and vibration. Equipment used in monitoring will include Type 1 integrated hand held noise monitor, permanent type 1 sound level meters and a Vibrok Standard Vibration Model for vibration sampling. Equipment is calibrated in accordance to Procedure AP29. The Vibrok Vibration Model will be calibrated off site by the manufacturers on a yearly basis. The hand held and continuous sound level meter will be calibrated before each use with a calibrator. These devices also undergo periodic off-site calibration checks in accordance with the manufacturer s recommendations. Recorded results will be downloaded from the equipment to the project networked drive (within the Environment folder) and collated into tabled databases. These results will be made available upon request and in monthly reporting. Best practical means will be employed at all times to ensure that all aspects of the works minimise potential noise and vibration as described in the Construction Code of Practice. 3.4 CONTAMINATED GROUND The likelihood of widespread contamination is expected to be low given the extent of the previous development s basement and historical site use. However environmental management practices will be adopted to prevent potential impacts associated with cross contamination, segregation of potentially contaminated hot spots, dust generation and surface water run off as examples Monitoring Method statements that cover excavated material will include the possibilities of finding contamination and the mechanisms for dealing with it.

14 CCURV PSDH Page 14 of 21 Testing and analysis will be carried on samples of excavated materials as defined by the Geotechnical and Geo-environmental Desk Study Reports and the Ground Investigations reports by Faber Maunsel / Aecom. The test results will determine if the excavated material are contaminated and will need appropriate disposal (in line with the requirements of Duty of Care and the Site Waste Management Plan) or if the excavated material is classified as uncontaminated it can be either re-used or sent off site. 3.5 ECOLOGY An Environmental Impact Assessment and subsequent ecological surveys have been carried out on the site and near vicinity. Reference is made to the Faber Maunsell Phase 1 Habitat Survey February 2009 which identifies that the site is of low ecological value with the exception of the scattered trees which are designated to be kept throughout the development. These will be identified on the Environmental Constraints Plan Scope of Ecological Issues Trees to be retained on site are indicated by the drawing Tree Protection Plan 4783-TR-02. These will be protected throughout the duration of the works. Best practice will be carried out including: Keeping vehicles and plant away from trees and vegetation to be protected Temporary fencing and demarcation around protected tress Materials and spoil will not be stored within protected area or under tree canopy No cutting or damage to roots greater than 25mm in diameter within the protected area Any backfilling to be carried out with care to ensure roots are not damaged and compact backfill lightly Ecological Monitoring Regular monitoring will be undertaken throughout the construction phase of the project to ensure that impacts on ecology are minimised. Method statement briefings and toolbox talks will be provided to all personnel involved in activities that have the potential to have a significant ecological impact. In the event that a protected species or habitat is discovered during construction, works will stop and expert advice will be sought on how to proceed. This will be treated as an environmental near miss or incident and be reported to the client and statutory bodies, as required. 3.6 ARCHAEOLOGY Following advice from MoLAS and based on findings and recommendations from their Archaeological report (TBC) it will be determined what level of surveys are required given that the project is on a previously developed site. However, if archaeological remains are discovered during construction, works will stop and expert advice will be sought on how to proceed. This will be treated as an environmental near miss or incident and be reported to the client and statutory bodies, as required. 3.7 MATERIAL USE / WASTE MINIMISATION Specification In the design stages studies will be carried out into the Embodied Energy of the components of the project. Additional work may be carried out to estimate and calculate the carbon savings associated with different design solutions and compared with other similar size projects. Further work will be carried out in the next stage of design to ensure that the materials specified and procured have as low embodied impact as feasibly possible (maintaining the required structural requirements and enabling the project to be completed within the set built program). The Sustainability Tracker Schedule (Appendix 7) will be used to record material considerations and discussions with suppliers and the design team and client to obtain materials that have environmental or sustainability benefits such as; Low embodied energy; Recycled content; The ability to be easily demountable and or reused / recycled after end of design life; Minimal transportation to site;

15 CCURV PSDH Page 15 of 21 Minimal wastage in production, transportation to site and in construction; Sourced from sustainable sources with chain of custody documentation (especially relevant for timber products) Recycled Content There is potential to use WRAP Net Waste Toolkit for Recycled Content to determine the opportunities for increasing the recycled content of materials from good to best practice and gaining a Recycled Content by Value for the PSDH project Site Waste Management Plan A Site Waste Management Plan has been developed as a separate stand alone document subject to its own review process. This is in accordance with the DEFRA Guidance, Site Waste Management Plan Regs (2008), the Sir Robert McAlpine Procedure EMP 05 and the requirements of the client and Croydon City Council. Opportunities for designing out waste in the first instance, using materials with a recycled content, reuse and recycling will be progressed through workshops with the design team and subcontractors. Monthly waste returns will be complied for all waste produced on site. 3.8 ENERGY The project will actively strive to monitor and minimise energy during the construction phase. This will be achieved through: Regular maintenance of plant to ensure equipment is running efficiently, minimizing nuisance and avoiding pollution. Switching off plant when not in use rather than running idle. Use of energy efficient lighting. Investigation into potential for renewable energy units for the welfare units and temporary offices such as solar thermal units for hot water Procuring energy saving office equipment. Training of office staff and site operatives in energy efficiency Monitoring Where possible, meters will be installed to monitor energy used in the offices and welfare cabins. Contractors and sub-contractors will record their delivery mileage and fuel uses which can be converted into associated CO TRAFFIC AND LOGISTICS The site will receive deliveries, materials and plant in accordance with the Construction Logistics Plan. Wheel wash facilities will be located in appropriate positions at the site exits and their location will be indicated in the Environmental Constraints Plan as identified in Appendix PROCUREMENT AND SUPPLY CHAIN Procurement Strategy The Environmental and Sustainability requirements of the CCURV are included in the Environmental section of the Volume 2 of the Sub Contracts. The attendance schedules will also be amended appropriate to the environmental issues associated with a particular package. The main environmental issues associated with each work package will be identified on a work package environmental schedule and made available to the project Commercial Team. Sub-Contractors are asked to complete an Environmental Compliance Schedule (Appendix 8) at tender stage to indicate their environmental management systems and contributions to environmental issues. Post tender, Sub-Contractors are also asked to complete Package Waste Schedules as part of the SRM Site Waste Management Plan. This indicates the type and quantity of waste likely to be produced on site.

16 CCURV PSDH Page 16 of 21 Environmental and Sustainability requirements and issues will be discussed in the Post Tender Interviews and the actions and responses minuted within those meetings. A member of the Environmental Team will be present where appropriate Supply Chain and Material Choice It is recognised that those with a responsibility for supply, specifying and procurement are required to work together to identify options and seek alternatives for consideration and evaluation. Potential areas for more sustainable alternatives include: Alternative suppliers, including more proven ethical supplier Alternative technical specifications, including more easily recycled or dismantled for recovery at end of life Alternative material content including higher recycled content Alternative performance specifications Alternative material sources Alternative construction / installation methods Alternative transport requirements Discussions with the design team and client will identify options for various work packages and materials and the outcomes will be investigated by the relevant members of the team (Package Manager s, Sub-Contractors, Commercial department)

17 CCURV PSDH Page 17 of 21 Part 4 MONITORING AND REPORTING 4.1 INSPECTIONS AND AUDITS The following audits and monitoring will occur on a regular basis and as required: Regular site surveillances to check environmental good practice & compliance with EMS; Regular surveillances of sub contractors methods and processes (including supply chain audits) by SRM; Compliance audits and inspections by Client Environment Team; In-house BREEAM audits to ensure credits have been maintained; & National Considerate Constructors Scheme audits. The Non Conformance Report (NCR) process will be used when this PEP has not been complied with or for a breach of recognised best practice. 4.2 REPORTING Sub-Contractor Reporting Sub-contractors are required at tender stage to agree to report monthly, as a minimum on: Conformance with the site waste management plan. Conformance with the Considerate Constructors Scheme Site Energy usage, Transport Energy usage, modes of transport, weights consigned Any work package specific requirements The information supplied by the sub-contractors will be complied in the monthly environmental reports which will in turn comprise of: Any incidents or NCR s raised Liaison with external parties Key environmental issues Environmental data noise, vibration & dust monitoring results - Energy consumption & CO 2 emissions from site - Fuel consumption & CO 2 emissions for transportation - Waste volumes & disposal routes Client and External Party Reporting To be developed following discussion with John Laing Partnership SRM and Head Office Monthly Reporting Monthly reports will be issued to the Regional Environmental Advisor typically on the following topics which are then sent to SRM head office; EA Interaction and incidents reported Environmental Incidents Not Reportable to EA Training Carried Out; Update on Company Environmental Objectives ; Waste figures and quantities removed from site with destination Total Gas / Electricity / Water used (including site and offices); Type and Quantity of Materials brought to site with a Recycled Content; Good Practice / Ideas Being Adopted. Environmental KPIs (as part of the SRM Quality reporting system- AP46) will be assessed monthly for each subcontractor by the Package Manager with assistance from the Environmental Team. The KPI score will be assessed by using the environmental criteria included on the Company KPI database and a combination of weekly site surveillances, site observations and compliance with the requirements of this PEP. Internal monthly reports will include a summary of inspections, surveillances and nuisance monitoring reports. Nuisance monitoring reports including the downloaded data from monitoring equipment will be saved onto the Project server and made available to the client on a regular basis Sustainability Tracking Schedule The Sustainability Tracking Schedule (Appendix 7) records the sustainability ideas considered by the team throughout design, procurement and construction. It records the idea / suggestions environmental and sustainability benefit as well as any financial implications and whether there are barriers to

18 CCURV PSDH Page 18 of 21 implementing it. Ideas which are not implemented or taken forward will still be recorded for future reference. Where ideas present alternative solutions or materials which would appear to offer potential for a more sustainable solution, a shortlist of alternatives can be prepared. Depending on the work package this may be done in conjunction with the suppliers and sub contractors. Where the alternatives offer disadvantages that are likely to be a significant departure from the design/technical specification, the option may be discounted at this stage, for example, a recycled product that will not meet the strength or aesthetic requirements. The potential technical and commercial risks associated with the more sustainable options should be identified, and recommended alternatives should be proposed for further consideration. Issues which require a more thorough explanation will be subject to a lessons learnt exercise which will be linked to the Tracking Schedule. The Sustainability Tracker will be reviewed and updated on a regular basis following on from internal meetings and discussions. The Sustainability Tracker can be found on the Project Network Server (S: drive) within the Environment folder.

19 CCURV PSDH Page 19 of 21 Part 5- EMERGENCY RESPONSE The Environmental Emergency Response Controls are set out to; Establish the emergency response management procedure for the CCURV project. Outline the controls for any uncontrolled spillages or unforeseen emissions or events which effect 3 rd Parties. State the measures applicable to the project under the requirements of company procedure EMP 06 Emergency Preparedness. Ensure all project activities comply with applicable statutory United Kingdom and European Legislation, the Code of Construction Practice, and client requirements and statutory approvals including the Section 106 Agreement and Planning Conditions. 5.1 DEFINITIONS For the purpose of implementing the PEP the following definitions apply. Incident: An uncontrolled and unexpected release of a substance with the potential to pollute air, land and water resources but that can be contained and mitigated against using on-site equipment. Emergency incident: An incident where the effects of the event cannot be controlled (e.g. breakout from processes involving bentonite or large spillages of hazardous materials) and outside assistance from external bodies (Environment Agency) is required to bring it under control. Major incident: A situation where any of the following have occurred; An emergency incident A breach of legislation is identified by Sir Robert McAlpine Ltd, client or third parties. Enforcement action is issued by a regulator (e.g. a section 60 notice) 5.2 CONTROL MEASURES The following control measures will be adopted as illustrated in the flow chart below (drawing 1, 5.2) Sensitive receptors and pollution prevention measures are illustrated in the Environmental Constraints Plan (Appendix 5). When an incident is able to be controlled by facilities on site, and no intervention is required from a third party or a statutory authority then controls should be implemented, the incident cleaned up and reported in the site diary. All incidents will be recorded. 5.3 REPORTING Where an environmental incident occurs that has been dealt with in a manner which follows best practice and poses no further threat to the environment an entry will be made in the environmental incident log (Appendix 8) to record the issue. The environmental incident log will also be used to identify any trends in environmental incidents. A non-conformance report shall also be raised in accordance with company procedure AP25. The NCR should report the following: Date & Time of incident Works involved & responsible sub-contractor (s) Site location of incident Incident details (including type) Nearby receptors (drains, water run-off sumps, watercourses) Root causes Notified of incident & SRM employee notified Third parties contacted Remediation measures and any preventative actions Where an uncontrolled incident is classed as an emergency or a major incident the project Environmental Manager may wish to investigate the root causes, communication systems and issue a lessons learnt memo to the workforce concerned in addition to any NCR s that may have been raised. Where remedial works to contain an incident dictate that the works may run past consented working hours, the Environmental Health Officer will be contacted as soon as practically possible to inform them of the variation.

20 CCURV PSDH Page 20 of 21 Appropriate spill materials will be stored on site their position identified by signs. Other required emergency equipment will be stored on site and their position identified by posters and marked on drawings. (Environmental Constraints Plan, Appendix 5) Sub-contractors undertaking refuelling activities or using substances with the potential to pollute will be required to have spill materials available for use should a spill occur. Training should be given to these sub contractors on spill control measures. This procedure also relates to environmental emergencies relating to complaints raised from 3 rd parties that involve the statutory authorities whereby the NCR process will be followed. 5.4 TRAINING Training will be given on the emergency response procedure to sub-contractors as soon as possible to their commencement on site. Specific training on the use of spill kits will be given as appropriate. Spill control procedures and the adequacy of training will be tested by staging drills on a periodic basis and recording the findings on a surveillance register. Tool box talks will be given by the sub-contractor s foreman or works manager or by the Project Environmental team. This will be assessed depending on the works package and the stage of the project and the associated environmental risks present. Training records will be copied to the Environment Manager and HS3 forms will be completed for record keeping.
