Environmental Management Plan (EMP)and EIA: How are they related?

/ E0A is anal)sis of issues andrecommendations

/ E0A is documented in an Environmental Assessment .eport 1EA .eport2

/ EMP is an action plan/

EMP is "ased on results of E0A



Environmental Management Plan (EMP):What is its Role?

/ Summari3e environmental impacts identifiedin the EA report

/ 0dentif) impacts that must "e mitigated

/ Descri"e mitigation measures/ Descri"e monitoring and reporting

arrangements

/ Descri"e assignment of responsi"ilities andschedules/ Provide costs estimates for mitigation and

monitoring measures



The Ban !s EA Poli"y (#P $%&'):What does it say a o t EMPs?

/ 0mplementation of EMP is an integral part of overallpro4ect implementation

/ For ategor) A pro4ects, EMP is an essential feature ofEA 1"ut a separate EA report is still re5uired2

/ For ategor) ( pro4ects, the EA ma) "e limited to EMP1no separate EA report2/ The re5uirement of EMP is included in the oan

Agreement/ EMP is an important part of the pro4ect6s !peration

Manual/ The "orro7er must report on compliance 7ith EMP/ Specific re5uirements for EMPs are set out in Anne8

#ne EMP or m lti-le EMPs?

/ Some pro4ects re5uire several EMPs: ; Site-specific EMPs/ T)pical for pro4ects 7ith several components or su"pro4ects

on different sites

; 0mpact-specific EMPs, 7hen particular impacts re5uirespecial attention, e+g+:

/ EMP for ha3ardous 7aste management/ EMP for oil spill prevention and response

; .ecipient-specific EMPs targeted to particular

ecos)stems or their elements, e+g+:/ EMP for protecting fish population from impact of h)dro po7erdevelopment

/ To guide preparation of multiple EMPs, <enericor =Frame7or > EMP is developed first



Who -re-ares the EMP? ("ont!d)Who s -ervises its im-lementation?

/ For a construction pro4ect: ; Depending on pro4ect structure, design

engineering consultant ma) prepare detailed

1site-specific, impact-specific2 EMPs ; onstruction contractors ma) "e as ed to

develop the EMPs further, even prepare theiro7n EMPs as appropriate

; onstruction supervising engineer overseescompliance of contractors 7ith EMP1s2
