              5.1       Construction Environmental Management Plan  
              5.1.1     Introduction 
              This document is the Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) for the Blanchardstown to City 
              Centre Core Bus Corridor Scheme, hereafter referred to as the Proposed Scheme.  
              The CEMP will be updated by the National Transport Authority (NTA) (the Employer for the construction works) 
              prior  to  the  commencement of the Construction Phase, so as to  include any additional measures required 
              pursuant  to  conditions  attached  to  any  decision  to  grant  approval.  The  NTA  shall  set  out  the  Employer’s 
              Requirements in the Construction Contract including all applicable mitigation measures identified in this EIAR, as 
              well as additional measures required pursuant to conditions attached to any decision to grant approval.  
              The CEMP comprises the construction mitigation measures, which are set out in the Environmental Impact 
              Assessment Report (EIAR), and the Natura Impact Statement (NIS), and will be updated to include any additional 
              measures required pursuant to conditions attached to An Bord Pleanála’s decision.  
              The CEMP will need to be altered during the lifecycle of the Construction Phase to take account of monitoring 
              results, permits, legislative changes, outcomes of third-party consultations etc. The appointed contractor will 
              ensure that the CEMP remains up to date for the duration of the Construction Phase. The appointed contractor 
              may propose modifications to the CEMP. However, any such modifications, will not give rise to any impacts which 
              are more significant than those already identified and assessed in the EIAR or NIS. 
              All of the measures set out in this CEMP will be implemented in full by the appointed contractor and its finalisation 
              will not affect the robustness and adequacy of the information presented and relied upon in the EIAR and NIS.  
              5.1.1.1   Purpose 
              The purpose of the CEMP is to set out the management framework for the delivery of the proposed construction 
              works and to illustrate how the Proposed Scheme could be delivered in a logical, sensible, and safe sequence 
              with the incorporation of specific Environmental Commitments, as set out in Section 5.1.9.  
              The CEMP will be used by the appointed contractor, and the appointed contractor personnel as a guidance 
              document  for  the  Construction  Phase  of  the  Proposed  Scheme  outlining  procedures  for  the  delivery  of 
              environmental mitigation measures and for addressing general day-to-day environmental issues that could arise 
              during the Construction Phase of the Proposed Scheme. 
              5.1.1.2   Reference Documents 
              The CEMP has been prepared as part of the EIAR and the NIS, and should be read in conjunction with the 
              following Proposed Scheme specific documents: 
                        •    The EIAR, with particular reference to Chapter 5 (Construction) in Volume 2 of the EIAR; 
                        •    The NIS; 
                        •    The Construction Contract; and 
                        •    Copies of An Bord Pleanála’s Order, Inspector’s Report and associated documentation. 
              The appointed contractor will need to comply with all relevant environmental legislation and take account of 
              published standards, accepted industry practice, national guidelines, and codes of best practice appropriate to 
              the Proposed Scheme. The CEMP has been prepared in accordance with the following industry best practice 
              guidance: 
                        •    Transport Infrastructure Ireland(TII) (formerly the National Roads Authority (NRA)) Guidelines for 
                             the Creation, Implementation and Maintenance of an Environmental Operating Plan (hereafter 
                             referred to as the TII Guidelines) (TII 2007); and
