A contamination Environmental Site Assessment report prepared by a suitably qualified and experienced person in accordance with the procedures and practices detailed in the National Environment Protection (Assessment of Site Contamination) Measure 1999 (NEPM) as amended 2013 must be submitted to Council prior to the issue of any building consent under the Building Act 2016.

 

 

The report must conclude:

 

 

·    Whether any site contamination presents a risk to workers involved in redevelopment of the site, or future users of the site, as a result of proposed excavation of the site;

·    Whether any site contamination presents an environmental risk from excavation conducted during redevelopment of the site;

·    Whether any specific remediation and/or protection measures are required to ensure proposed excavation does not adversely impact human health or the environment before excavation commences; Based on the results of the Environmental Site Assessment that the excavation as part of the planned works will not adversely impact on human health or the environment (subject to implementation of any identified remediation and/or protection measures as required).

 

 

If the Environmental Site Assessment report concludes that remediation and/or protection measures are necessary to avoid risks to human health or the environment, a proposed remediation and/or management plan must be submitted prior to the issue of any building consent under the Building Act 2016. Any remediation or management plan involving soil disturbance must include a detailed soil and water management plan to prevent off­site transfer of potentially­contaminated soil or stormwater.
