Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency has developed a draft specification to report and investigate environmental incidents that occur during land transport system infrastructure projects.
The Specification for environmental incident notification, investigation and reporting would set a consistent process across New Zealand and apply to all contractors carrying out physical work related to capital projects, maintenance, operations, and emergency works.
It’s proposed that contractors will need to reflect these requirements, along with any specific permit/consent requirements, in an environmental incident response, investigation and reporting procedure, as part of their environmental management plans (EMPs).
We invite your feedback on the proposed process to inform the final version of the specification.
Submissions can be emailed to:
Please write 'Environmental incident specification' in the subject line.
Submissions due by Monday 15 April 2024.
