Construction Effects. CON-1 The applicant shall prepare and implement a Construction Impact Mitigation Plan to include the plan for traffic management during construction. This plan shall be subject to review and approval by the City and, at a minimum, shall include the following:
Construction Effects. The APE for effects during construction includes all areas likely to be affected by construction activities.
a. The construction APE consists of a 500-foot-radius surrounding turbine locations, plus areas of disturbance or surface modification (such as erosion control feature or fill slopes) extending beyond 500 feet of the turbine footprint.
b. The construction APE for new access roads or existing access roads where improvements are planned is 300 feet from each side of the centerline of the road, plus areas of disturbance or surface modification (such as erosion control feature or fill slopes) extending beyond 300 feet of the centerline of the roadway; and 100 feet from each side of the centerline of access roads where no modifications or improvements are planned.
c. The construction APE for electrical collection lines is 200 feet from each side of the centerline of the collector trench unless placed within the area previously surveyed for access roads. Collector trenches placed on the perimeter of the area surveyed for an access road have an additional 100-feet extending beyond the perimeter.
d. The construction APE for associated facilities, switchyards, substations, operation and maintenance buildings, borrow areas, and construction laydown yards and areas is a 200-foot-buffer from the largest extent of each facility’s planned footprint. This width will allow for minor adjustments in facility placement to avoid when possible historic properties that are located within the construction APE.
e. The construction APE for additional identified facilities and infrastructure sites that fall outside the authorized ROW will be the footprint of the facility or site plus a 200-foot buffer from the edge of the footprint radius around these points.
f. The construction APE for geotechnical borings will be a 100-foot radius around the bore hole.
g. The construction APE for additional identified new or existing access roads and electrical collection lines will follow outlined construction APEs in Stipulations section III.A.1 for roads and collection lines.
Construction Effects. Temporary noise, dust and vibration effects will arise during construction. To ensure that these effects are no more than minor, works will comply with NZS6803P:1999 (New Zealand Standards for Construction Noise) and measures such as periodic wetting of exposed surfaces and the use of appropriate equipment will be employed to manage noise, dust and vibration. The construction contractor will be required to notify adjoining landowners of construction dates and the details of the contact person during construction. The contractor will ensure that construction activities are managed in association with any sensitive activities on neighbouring sites to avoid potential conflict of activities.
