Environmental Management Plans (EMPs) can be done at
various stages of a project, from design, to
construction and operation. An EMP is usually
compiled during the final stages of an Environmental
Impact Assessment, Basic Assessment and sometimes a
Strategic Environmental Assessment. It provides
practical information for the developer, planners,
engineers, contractors and project managers on how
and when to manage environmental impacts that arise
from the development process.
A Design EMP provides the design team with
environmental specifications that must be considered
during the design phase of the project, so they are
incorporated in the design of the project to avoid
or minimise impacts.
A Construction EMP (CEMP) provides environmental
specifications that are relevant to the construction
phase of the project, and are presented in a format
that is understood by the contractor. It also
provides specifications on the institutional and
reporting structures to ensure the CEMP is adhered
to.
The Operation EMP provides specifications relevant
to the operational phase of the project. This may
take the form of an Environmental Management System
if the company is to obtain ISO14001 certification,
but many companies manage their operations according
to an EMS, without obtaining ISO 14001
certification.
CES have gained a vast amount of experience in EMPs,
having produced a large number for a range of
projects, from large scale mines to small eco
lodges.
EXPERTISE
CES has
undertaken a number of EMPs as well as provided
specialist input into other EMPs:
-
Corridor Sands Limitada - Framework design
and construction phase EMP's for a mine,
power line, rail link and materials lunching
facility.
-
Mining related EMPs, linked to numerous
EIAs undertaken for numerous EIA projects,
with a focus on developing overall overall
measures to mitigate impacts.
-
Bridge construction EMPs with detailed
specifications for renegation, delination of
sensitive areas and other specifications.
