APPENDIX 7: FUTURE DIRECTIONS CONSIDERATIONS
The following table is a list of items for further consideration by the pipeline industry in regard to the management of
environmental aspects of our activities and operations. These items were identified in the latest review of the Code and
are under further investigation and clarification from industry experts and regulatory authorities.
Terminology
Consideration of updating environmental terminology, for example in Section 4 replace the word issue with impact.
Sustainability
Consideration of sustainability, Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme and National Greenhouse Emission Reporting
Scheme on pipeline construction and operational phases of facilities. Identify aspects, impacts and control measures.
CO
2
and other transmission pipelines
Consideration of aspects and reconcile for adequacy against APIA CoEP
EIANZ
Consider possible affiliation with or endorsement by the EIANZ when undertaking review of CoEP and particularly
control measures for Best Practice not just industry best practice
Further review of monitoring aspects of the Code.
Heritage Marking
Consideration of distinguishing between cultural and natural heritage items, with cultural items to be marked with a
blue and white flag/tape and natural items to be marked with yellow.
Tidal and Marine Environments.
Tidal and marine environments in coastal plain areas to be considered as they present additional influences to
environmental management.
Contaminated land and UXO sites management
Problematic Soils Management.
Consider separate item or references to problematic soils including PASS, ASS, Contaminated lands, Dispersive
soils, Dryland Salinity, Sand dune or desert environments. Soils and soil management on Pipelines or other linear
infrastructure are a major aspect and ipact upon the environment.
Water Management & Discharge after review, consider developing a new section in or associated with Purging and
Hydrotesting and Commissioning in Section 5. Operations.
